Offshore and Arctic Pipelines: Strain-Based Design
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA, February 5 ― The 1st (2007) ISOPE Strain-Based Design Symposium — SBD-2007 will be held at the 17th International Offshore (Ocean) and Polar Engineering Conference & Exhibition ¾ ISOPE-2007 Lisbon, at Corinthia Lisboa Hotel, Lisbon, July 1-6, 2007. This symposium is the first forum dedicated to all aspects of science, technology, and applications of SBD of pipelines. The Conference as well as the symposium is sponsored by International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE)
Eight sessions are organized as follows:
Session 47. SBD I: Materials I (V. 4)
Session 57. SBD II: Materials II (V. 4)
Session 66. SBD III: Testing and Evaluation (V. 4)
Session 76. SBD IV: Design and Project (V. 4)
Session 86. SBD V: Mechanics (V. 4)
Session 96. SBD VI: Assessment Procedures I (V. 4)
Session 106. SBD VII: Assessments Procedures II (V. 4)
Session 116. SBD VIII: Compressive Strain Limit and Buckling (V. 4)

Strain-based design (SBD) generally refers to pipeline designs expected to have longitudinal strains greater than 0.5%. The SBD in recent years has been driven primarily by the need to construct pipelines in the arctic regions, deep-water offshore, and other areas with high probability of large ground movements.
The ISOPE SBD-2007 Symposium papers will be included in Volume 4 of the ISOPE-2007 Lisbon Conference Proceedings CD-ROM (ISBN 1-880653-68-0; ISBN 978-1-880653-68-5). The Proceedings (3,600 pp. est.) will be available from ISOPE during and after the Conference.
ISOPE-2007 Lisbon Conference program consists of some 550 peer-reviewed papers from 48 countries in 120 sessions and 7 plenary sessions
