The Second (2008) ISOPE Strain-Based Design Symposium - A Review

摘要

The second symposium on strain-based design for pipelineswas convened during the 2008 ISOPE conference inVancouver, Canada. The second symposium built upon theprogress made at the first symposium with increased industryparticipation indicating the importance of this technicalchallenge. Experts in materials, analysis, and constructionconvened to discuss the latest progress towards strain-baseddesign pipeline capacity and demand research. The keythemes of the second symposium included pipelineconstruction, design, engineering mechanics, assessmentmethodologies, materials, and experimentation. The designand assessment of pipelines subject to large strains continues tohave many unsolved technical challenges. This paper willdetail highlights from the 2008 conference and will serve as astarting point for the Third (2009) ISOPE Strain-Based DesignSymposium.
