Buckling Propagation in Marine Pipelines

The buckling propagation in marine pipelines is studied by means of the cylindrical shell model in this paper. Several parameters including geometrical parameter D/ T, L/ D, physical parameter E and σy are discussed. The computed results are compared with the available experimental data and other computed results, it is found that the present results are closer to the experimental results than other computed results.     

Evalution of Application of p-y Curve Method in Offshore Engineering Foundation

- Based on the Mohr-Coulomb failure principle and Rankine's theory, the laterally loaded pile ultimate resistance formulas of sand and soft clay proposed by Reese and Matlock respectively are discussed in this paper. The authors put forward the modified ultimate resistance formulas on the basis of which the ultimate resistance formula is developed for horizontally loaded pile in multi-layer soil in consideration of the effect of the overburden soil pressure on the calculation of soil layer. It is significant to the correct application of the ultimate resistance formulas in API and ZCS Rules into offshore engineering.     

从香港地质谈到中国农业生态

在热带条件下，不同种类岩石受到强烈的化学风化作用，并导致某些环境问题，香港在这方面提供了十分典型的例子。在香港，岩石风化厚度可达８０ｍｉｎ，普通成岩矿物长石和云母被转化为粘土矿物埃洛石和高岭石，风化岩密度一般降低４０％￣８０％，埃洛石密度看来是亚稳定的，随年龄的增加而降低。在老于晚侏罗纪或早白垩纪的岩石中，还未临别出埃洛石。埃洛石、高岭石及其风化产物少含植物所需营养元素，且阳离子交换能力低，因而所     

ANALYSIS ON CODE MULTIPATH MITIGATION BY PHASE - AIDED SMOOTHING

Multipath influence on code range under static condition is described firstly in this paper, and the problem that to what extent the phase-aided smoothing can mitigate multipath interference is detailed. Some problems regarding smoothing and mitigation are discussed. Suggestions based on the analysis has been made.

Effect of Band Width on Fatigue Life under Random Stress Response

A fatigue life estimation method for offshore structures under random stress response is studied in this paper. The method of broad band cumulative frequency number is used to determine the effect of band width of stress frequency spectra on fatigue. A formula of correction factor for fatigue under broad band stress spectra is suggested and compared with that given by P. H. Wirsching.     

Some Considerations in Design and Construction of the Wei-Liu Water Supplying Submarine Pipeline

The Wei- Liu water supplying submarine pipeline is at present the longest one of the kind in China. It is about 4 kilometers long from Weihai City to Liugong Island in Shandong province. It took only half a year to design and construct it. The project was of a high economic efficiency and some practical experiences were achieved. In this paper a general introduction to the design and construction of this pipeline is presented and such problems as the stability of the pipeline in very soft clay, design of curved slide for launching and estimation of dragging forces are expounded.     

Long-Term Joint Distribution of One-Tenth Large (or Significant) Wave Height with Average Period

- In this paper, by using the wave data from a few oceanographic observation stations in the coastal zone of the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, the long-term joint distribution of the one-tenth large (or significant) wave height with average period is studied. The statistical data demonstrate that the long- term distribution of the one- tenth wave height or average period fits the log-normal distribution, thus the joint distribution also fits the two-dimensional log-normal distribution. Then the conditional probability distribution of the average period is derived, and the range as well as the mode of the average wave period corresponding to a certain return period of wave height can be calculated easily.
