MARC recordThaw-subsidence effects on offshore pipelines / J.F. Nixon.
| Title: | Thaw-subsidence effects on offshore pipelines / J.F. Nixon. |
| Author(s): | Nixon, J. F. Nixon, Derick. |
| Date: | 1991. |
| In: | Journal of Cold Regions Engineering. (1991.), Vol. 5(1) (1991) |
| Abstract: | Reviews permafrost conditions from deeper water conditions offshore through shallower water nearshore to onshore colder conditions. Shows that buried offshore pipe line appears capable of accommodating up to 1 m or more of thaw settlement for range of soil properties considered, providing that settling permafrost layer is located at least 3 to 4 m below pipe base. If settling permafrost layer is closer to pipe base, some form of mitigation, such as insulation, might be required. |
| Notes: | Journal of Cold Regions Engineering. Vol. 5(1) :28-39 (1991). |
