Cables and Flexible Pipes in Contact with Sea Floor

by Alain H. Peyrot, Univ of Wisconsin, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (ACI 530-88/ASCE 5-88) and Specifications for Masonry Structures (ACI 530.1-88/ASCE 6-88) (ACI 530.1-88/ASCE 6-88)

Abstract:

Flexible offshore systems can be analyzed by a number of different techniques. The techniques described herein fall in the general category of finite element methods. Special cable elements and contact nodes are discussed. A static finite element analysis requires a solution strategy that handles ill-conditioned cases. It is shown how ill-conditioning can be removed and how many practical problems involving flexible offshore systems can be solved.
