Pilger and Piercing
The large size bars areused to produce pipes.
This has been in use for
several decades in thepipe producing mills.
Both thin and thick pipescan be made using this
method.
Limiting size for suchproduction depends on
the mill but generallydiameter larger than 20”is normally not availableby this method.

Cold Forming ProcessesIn this method, the plate
sections of specific lengthand width will be rolled toshapes either in semi-circular shape or in quarterarc of a circle.
The rolled sections of thecircular arc is then joined byarc welding to form a long
pipe. This method is verycommonly used for makingpipes of any diameter usedin the steel fabricationindustry. Using this method,
pipes of any diameter can bemade for use.
As an alternative to the plates, rolls of plate can be used to form the pipe usingspiral form and then welded, and it is called “Spirally welded pipes”. Pipesmanufactured using this method is normally not used in the primary structure.

cold rolling a flat plate and weld at the seam toform a can (length up to 3m). The longitudinal
seam may be one or more depending on thewidth of the plate available. This one piece of pipemade from plates is called “Can”.
Several cans can be welded to form a long tube
The long seams shall be arranged such that theorientation in each can away by 90o.
Welding between Cans is called transverse seamor circumferential weld.
This method of fabrication introduces out-of-roundness, out of straightness imperfections andresidual stresses in both the longitudinal andcircumferential directions
Fabrication tubulars
Tubular can be fabricated from flat plates. Normally, flat
plates are rolled to form circular arcs and welded toform circular section as shown in figure.

Residual Stresses
Residual stresses developed during welding of plates to form pipes andwelding of two pieces of pipes to form length may affect the final strengthunless these stresses are relieved.
Bending plates to form circular arcs induces bending strain andstresses depending on the radius of bend and D/t ratio. Larger the
bending radius, smaller the stresses. Larger the D/t ratio, strain willbe smaller.
Heat induced stresses during welding could be large due torestraint provided by the joining components.
Stresses induced during joining of pipe segments due to restrictionon the expansion during welding.

Consideration shall be given to account for the residual stresses in
members in the design equation.
As these stresses exist even before the member is loaded, these
stresses shall be deducted from the allowable stresses. However,
it will not be practical to account for in each case.
Hence it is better to reduce the yield stress by certain percentage
to account for the residual stresses. DNV codes suggests a 5%
reduction in yield stresses to residual stresses of welded section

Effective method of including Imperfections in designThe method to include the imperfections in fabrication is a difficult process as
the imperfections will not be known at the stage of design.
Hence certain assumptions has to be made during the design with limitations ondeviations that can be tolerated both with respect to design aspects andoperational aspects.
Design aspects will include change in cross sectional area, moment of inertia,center of gravity and other geometric properties. On the other hand, theoperational aspects include deviation from verticality, sagging of beams which
affects the daily operation for which the structures are built.
Hence restrictions on these imperfections which may happen during theconstruction stage may have to be imposed during the design stage.
These restrictions are called “Construction Tolerances” which shall beincorporated in the design equations so that the design need not be revised ifthese deviations are within the design tolerances.

Out-of straightness toleranceo
shall bemeasured at all points along the length of themember and the maximum shall be taken forconsideration.
Out-of Straightness
DNV (1982) specifies a maximumlimit of 0.0015L (L/666) as the limit
API Spec 2B specifies a maximumlimit of L/960 or 9.50mm in any
12200mm length (L/1284) whicheveris lower
This tolerance is very important as thisdeviation will lead to eccentric load and
corresponding moment.

Out-of Roundedness
Out-of roundedness tolerance for fabrication oftubular sections can be calculated as shown infigure using Dmean, Dmax and Dmin.
The Dmax and Dmin shall be measured across
diagonals at any angle and not necessarily at 90degrees. Out-of roundedness is normallyspecified as

Misalignment in Butt Joint
Misalignment in butt joint is veryimportant as it induces additionaleccentricity in axial loads andstresses.
API allows an eccentricity “e” of
• 0.2t1
• e < 3.2mm for welding from
one side• e < 6.4 mm for welding from
both side.
DNV allows an eccentricity of 0.15t1 (minimum thickness) or 4mm whichever is less.
When the eccentricity in construction exceeds this limit, the design must be reviedadequate modifications shall be carried out to assure the d=safety of design.

Ultimate strength of a section ormember depends on the efficientlyof the section to redistribute thestresses when the stresses exceedyield. Increase load carrying
capacity after reaching elastic limitis called “Ultimate Strength”.
Premature failure before reachingelastic limit is called “Buckling”.
Buckling strength of a member isfound to be considerably less thanthe theoretical elastic capacity.
Ultimate Strength
Hence in order to determine the ultimate strength, first it is necessary to establish
that the section / member has sufficient buckling capacity to reach elastic capacity.The ultimate strength of the section / member can be computed based on thesection property and member boundary conditions.

Buckling Theory
Buckling is a phenomenon that the bifurcation of equilibrium to unstable stateunder axial load when the slenderness exceeds 50. This was explained byLeonhard Euler in 1757 even if there is no axial load.
The column at its unstable
bifurcation of equilibrium, fails dueto lateral displacement for aparticular load called “Critical Loador Buckling Load”.
The critical load differs if the endof the column is restrained inlateral direction. This is evidentfrom the photograph showing the
experiment.Slenderness is the ratio of itslength to the radius of gyration of the section.

Local and Global buckling
Buckling of thin walled tubes (D/t > 20) can beclassified in to the following.
Local buckling – due to instability of local shell wall
Global buckling – due to slenderness
Local Global
In which the D is the diameter of the cylinder and tis the wall thickness.
Local buckling is governed by the D/T ratio and the
global buckling is governed by the KL/r ratio. Localbuckling may also happen due to bending of largediameter tubular.

Factors influencing Ultimate strength
Following factors influences the ultimate strength of a column or beam
Cross section
Boundary condition at the ends
Load distribution
Stress strain characteristics of the material
Cross section influences the redistribution of stresses while the boundarycondition affects the redistribution of stresses across the length.
The stress strain relationship affects the ultimate load depending on the strainhardening range of the material. i.e. the gap between the yield point and theultimate point the stress strain curve.
All the factors put together, a beam or column can sustain larger load comparedto its load capacity at elastic range.

Design of structural members
Design of structural members or system means to select a suitable material
with sufficient strength satisfy the functional requirements with adequatesafety margin.
Strength (Capacity) of structure is determinedfrom structural mechanics principles of bending,
axial and shear due to load effects (Demand).
Design is deemed to be satisfied when
Capacity Demand≥
Capacity of the structure shall be evaluated for each individual element aswell as the overall system such that the functional requirements aresatisfied throughout the life of the structure.
Similarly, the load effects or demand shall be evaluated such that themaximum effects occurring during its functional life.

Allowable Stress Design (ASD)
ASD method is based on principle that the load are estimated based
on historical data and associated effects are obtained by mechanicswhile the strength of the structure or system is evaluated usingselected material and their characteristics. A suitable factor of safetyis assigned against the overall strength.
Limit State Design (LSD) or Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)
LRFD method is developed based on probabilistic approach using thecharacteristic variation of loads and resistance. The uncertainty andvariation of the loads is assessed using probability theory to estimate
the load factors while the resistance resistance factors. Theadvantage of this method lies in the approach of variable load andresistance factors depending on their variability and uncertainty.
Design methods can be classified in to following two categories.

Demand (Applied Stresses)
Applied stresses are calculated for category of load on a system or partof the structure using basic structural mechanics principle of axial,bending and shear or combination of all. Elastic theory is normally usedas principle with linear stress distribution across the section.
Applied stress = f (geometry, section and stiffness)
Capacity (Allowable Stresses)Allowable stresses are obtained as a fraction of yield strength of thematerial (yield strength divided by a suitable factor of safety) withdue consideration for the behavior such as buckling and slenderness
effects. Allowable stress = Yield Stress/Factor of Safety
Following procedure is adopted in the ASD method.

Following procedure is adopted to estimate the loads and to compute the effectsloads on the structure.
Loads are estimated based on historical information and maximum value is takenwhich may occur during the design life. Design loads are adjusted from
estimated loads based on past experience. Variation of loads or the probability of exceedence of the loads during the design
life is not taken into consideration explicitly. Response of the structure is evaluated using linear elastic theory assuming worst
possible combination of loads including P-∆ effects and dynamic consideration ifrequired. For example;
1.00 * Dead Load + 1.00 * Live Load1.00 * Dead Load + 1.00 * Live Load + 1.00 * Environmental Load
1.00 * Dead Load + 1.00 * Seismic Load
Applied stresses are calculated for axial, bending, shear, torsion, hydrostatic andbuoyancy forces.

Following procedure is adopted to estimate the resistance of the structure.
Estimation of Strength
Design yield strength of the material istaken as target constant value assured byquality control during construction using
random sampling method. No consideration is given to variability of
the yield strength or probability of strengthoccurring below the target strength.
Allowable stresses are taken as fraction of
yield stress as shown in figure.
Design allowable stresses for each component is considered individually such asaxial, bending, shear, torsion, and hoop with a suitable factor of safety for each.
Due consideration is given to local and global buckling, torsional buckling ofmembers in the calculation of allowable stresses.
No global factor of safety is applied to the structure and no probability of failureis obtained.

Design using ASD method is adopted as follows.
ASD DESIGN PROCEDURE
Design loads are taken as the maximum load that may occur during the life of thestructure using historical data. Effect of these loads on structures are calculatedusing the basic elastic principles of mechanics.
Structure resistance is calculated using the design strength of materials (target)
as capacity of structural elements. Allowable stresses for each category ofresistance such as axial tension, axial compression, bending inplane, bending out-of plane and shear are obtained as the fraction of yield stresses. These fractionsare proportional to the factor of safety (FOS) for each case.
Design is deemed to be satisfied when design resistance is greater than the loadeffects.
The combined effect of loads is obtained using interaction of these loads in anappropriate manner using axial, bending, hoop and shear interaction formulae.

Design Loads (Demand)
Loads are estimated based on probability of exceedence usingcharacteristic distribution of each type of load. The design loads areestimated by multiplying nominal loads by the load factors
corresponding to the probability of exceedence. The method of calculation of load effects are very similar to the ASD
Design Load= f (nominal load, load factor)=nominal load*load factor
Resistance (Capacity)The resistance of the structure is evaluated using the characteristicvalues of strength parameters such as yield strength, fabricationtolerances using probability based approach. The design resistance
factors are obtained using probability distribution.Design Resistance = f (Strength, Resistance factor)=strength/resistance factor
Following procedure is adopted in the LRFD method.

Overlap
The probability distribution of Load effects (Q) and Resistance (R) is shown in
figure. The overlapped portion is indicating exceedence of load effects withresistance. This is note as Probability of failure. µQ and µR mean values of loadeffects and resistance. Even though µQ is less than µR, the failure is due to spread ofload and resistance effects. More the spread (deviation), the probability of failure is
higher. This is indicated by the standard deviation values of σQ and σ
R .
This can be compared to thedeterministic values of load effects (Q)and resistance (R ) in ASD method of
design.
The design is considered to be safewhen R is greater than Q. The Factor
of safe is defined as the gap betweenthe R and Q.

Limit state is defined as a state of the structure that cease to perform its intended
function for which it is designed. In offshore structures, limit states can be classifiedinto following categories. Ultimate Limit State (ULS) – This limit state defines the strength requirement
for the successful performance of structure to satisfy the functionalrequirements.
Fatigue Limit State (FLS) – This limit state defines the fatigue requirementfor the performance of the structure for the design life without deterioration.
Serviceability Limit State (SLS) – This limit state defines the serviceabilityrequirements such as deflection, vibration etc. for the successful performance of
the structure. Accidental Limit State (ALS) – This limit state defines the accidental cases of
loads arising from fire, blast and impact from vessels.
Each limit state is provided with loads and resistance factors to account for thevariability and corresponding partial safety factors and load factors are used todetermine the safety of the structure.

Following procedure is adopted to estimate the design loads and to compute the
effects loads on the structure. Nominal Loads are estimated based on historical information and data
collected. These data is then used to derive the characteristic probability densityand exceedance values are then estimated using probability theory. Load factoris computed for the given probability of exceedance.
Design loads are then calculated by multiplying the nominal load with the loadfactor.
Each load category is assigned with individual load factor thus allowingdifferent variation for each load type. For example, dead loads are given lower
load factor when compared to environmental and live loads. Response of the structure is evaluated using the same principle as that of the
ASD method except that the load combinations are based on load factors. Forexample;

Design using LRFD method is adopted as follows.
Load factors (γ) and resistance factors ( ) are selected for each type of load andstrength parameters.
Nominal loads and resistance for each set of load combination is obtained fromdata and design requirements.
Design loads and resistance is obtained by multiplying the nominal loads andresistance by load and resistance factors respectively.
Design is deemed to be satisfied when design resistance is greater than the loadeffects.
The load and resistance factors for each type of load is applied depending on thecombination of loads.
The above expression is evaluated for both structure component and system sothat a probability of failure is obtained with respect to the selected load andresistance factors.

Axial Stress – Allowable axial stress in compression shall include the effect of slenderness ratio (kL/r) to determine whether yielding or global buckling govern thedesign. This is applicable for compression where as in tension it is taken as 0.6F y
The effect of local buckling of tubular sections due to axial loads is taken in toconsideration by computing the limiting values of Fy using critical hoop bucklingstress (Fxc).
Bending Stresses – Allowable bending stress depends on the D/t ratio and the
maximum value is to be limited to 0.75F y.
Shear Stress – Allowable shear stress is to be taken as 0.4F y
Hoop Stress – The allowable hoop stress is computed based on local bucklingeffects due to external hydrostatic pressure. This is done by computing criticalelastic buckling stress (Fhe) and inelastic buckling stress (Fhc).
