INSTALLATION STRESSES
Pulling Loads
Straight Section L1
Frcition Force |Ff1| 15208.75 kg
|Ff1| = W sub x L1 cos (in) x s
Fluid Drag FD1 51678.38 kg
FD1 = x D x L1 X mud
Pipe Weight (longitudinal direction) W parc1 0.00 kg considered 0deg for conservatism
W parc1 = W sub x Larc1 sin ()
Pulling load at end of Larc1 Tarc1 219967.59 kg
Tarc1 = T1 + |Ffarc1| + FDarc1 - W parc1
Straight Section L2
Frcition Force |Ff2| 73146.80 kg = 0deg for straight section
|Ff2| = W sub x L2 cos () x s
Fluid Drag FD2 244772.22 kg
FD2 = x D x L2 X mud
Straight Section L3
Frcition Force |Ff3| 15208.75 kg
|Ff3| = W sub x L3 cos (Fout) x s
Fluid Drag FD3 51678.38 kg
FD3 = x D x L3 X mud
