Hello Everybody,

I want to discuss methodology of piping stress analysis of an RTR pipe supported on piles within sea and having maximum of 30mm lateral displacement.
What could be realistic way of imposing piles displacement effect on piping. Keeping in view the piles would be moving in different direction and degrees. Piping is around 100 meter having supports (Piles) at 4-to-6-meter span. How small spools of RTR pipe (Spigot joint) integrity can be insured?

I am concerned about integrity of spigot joints due to random displacements in piles.
