Written by a firm of consulting engineers who specialize in offshore work, including pipelines, this book is a state-of-art review of the analysis and engineering techniques for free spans in subsea pipelines. Subsea pipelines have, owing to the very nature of the environment in which they are laid, such as uneven seabeds and excessive hydrodynamic loads, to withstand extremely rigorous conditions and therefore their installation entails heavy financial investment. It is essential for those engaged in their specification and installation to appreciate the shortcomings in design practice of this type of pipeline and the limitations in available data and the book is therefore aimed at those qualified consulting engineers and offshore contractors already engaged in this type of work and technical libraries which offer courses in the specialty.
