Pipelay Analyses,AcceptanceCriteria
Traditionallyinthepast,wehaveusedtwomaincodesfor
pipelineinstallationanalyses,
DnV 1981(withspecialformulationofcombinedstress)
BS8010(withstandardvonMises Stress)
ForDnV 1981,theacceptancecriteriais
MaxStaticStressof0.72SMSY(DnV Stress)and
MaxDynamicStressof0.96SMSY(DnV Stress)
ForBS8010,theacceptancecriteriais
MaxStaticStressof0.85SMYS(Eq.Stress)
MaxDynamicStressof1.00SMYS(Eq.Stress)
Note:Thereisreductionfactorof0.85ontheDnV Combinedstress(on
LongitudinalStressportion)
Whenthewaterdepthgodeeperandpipelinegoheavier,
theengineerstarttolookforstrainbaseddesign,the
acceptancemaysubjecttoclientspecification,buttypically,
weusedtolimitourselfupto0.250%(staticforX65)and
0.305%(fordynamic ForX65).
TheDebateoftheacceptancecriteriaisalsoonSagbendand
Overbend.Wetendtogotohigherstrainonsomethingthat

Pipelay BargeandStingerSetting
Stinger Radius
Barge Radius
Forsimplificationandaquickcheckcalculation,typically
pipelineengineerusesdistancesandradiusasthemaininput
forthepipelay parameter(forbargelayingrampandStinger
configuration).Thistypeofmodelingistheeasywayto
predictthelaystressandtensionrequirements.
Isthatsimplemodeling(DistancesandRadius)sufficientfor
installingapipeline?
TheanswermostlikelyisNo,
Why?Because:
TheStingermaynotabletoformthatthegivenradius(The
possibilityofrollerlowheightsetting)isnotenough.
ForLaycasewithdifferentwaterdepth,wemayneedtolift
thestingertoavoidstingertouchestheground.And
changingthestingeranglewillchangetheformofthestinger
