Kepvords: Submerged pipeline construction. Weight control 



The various methods available for controUing tlie submerged weight of pipelines laid in 

 deep water are discussed. The various methods of adding weight or buoyancy are briefly 

 described. The performance requirements of submerged pipeline weight-controUing 

 methods, including the physical properties, compatibility with operations, reliability, and 

 economics, are discussed, and the individual methods are evaluated in terms of these 

 requirements. The preferred systems for practical use are identified and briefly discussed.

Keywords: Marine soils. Submarine pipeline 



Paper discusses the initial settlement of submarine pipelines in cohesive marine soils. A 

 method is developed to calculate the initial settlement of submarine pipelines on the sea 

 floor, and several theories for determining the ultimate bearing capacity of soils are 

 compared. The practical limitations of marine soils sampUng and analysis are also briefly 

 discussed.

Keywords: Offshore pipeline construction, Pipelaying methods 



Article discusses the various methods presently used to lay piipes, including the lay 

 barge, bottom pull, reel barge, and flotation methods. The limitations of the various 

 methods are given, and suggestions for future development to improve and eliminate some 

 of the problems and limitations of the present pipelaying methods are discussed. Design 

 considerations of the pipe, including wall thickness, concrete-coating density, and specific 

 gravity are briefly discussed.
