Author Description

Proceedings of the July 1999 conference. Contains 32 contributions arranged in sections covering pipeline reliability and limit states design; buckling, fracture and damage assessment; offshore and geotechnical; pipeline innovations and operations; structural modelling and artificial intelligence; and design of pipelines and risers. Topics include justifying the uprating of a transmission pipeline to a stress level of over 72 percent SMYS (an operator's experience); update of DNV '96 into an offshore standard; introduction to DNV RP-F101 corroded pipelines; research on crack arrest toughness of oil and gas pipes; physical modelling of pull-in loads for sub-sea jumper installation; issues concerning code based design of large-diameter large-ratio hot tap tees; pipeline applications of neural networks and fuzzy logic; and the feasibility study and preliminary design of a steel riser attached to FPSO.
