Abstract
This chapter presents the limit-state based strength design of pipeline. Structural design has been successfully carried out using limit state design (LSD) with reliability based techniques which provide a consistent treatment of uncertainties for some days. The limit state design of pipeline is a rational design method based on the idea of a limit state. A limit-state is a condition that limits the continued safe operation of a pipeline. It is exceeded when the response of the pipeline to loading is unacceptable. Each limit state divides the pipeline into two states, the safe state and the failed state. In this chapter, four limit states are checked for the pipeline design, including ultimate limit state (ULS), serviceability limit state (SLS), fatigue limit state (FLS) and accidental limit state (ALS).
