Abstract:The embedment of subsea pipelines in soft submarine clay is a key parameter in pipe-soil interaction studies of offshore deep water oil and gas field developments. A number of calculation methodologies exist, some of which are based on empirical evidence. Pipeline embedment depends on the active undrained shear strength and unit weight of the soil and the properties of the pipeline (i.e. weight and dimensions). The embedment is also influenced by stress concentrations occuring due to the geometry of the pipe c… Show more
