Development of a Limit States Standard for Onshore Pipelines

There are two primary objectives for this project: (1) Develop a Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) checks for the basic group of limit states associated with internal pressure, thermal expansion and equipment impact. This will involve the definition of appropriate reliability targets, selection of a number of test cases and calibration of the required design checks. (2) Develop a plan to address geotechnical loads in a subsequent project phase. This will involve investigation of available models, and data from project participants.
