Fatigue behaviour and ultimate capacity of grouted tubular joints
conference paper
A Joint industry project (JIP) commenced in 1993(1) to develop a design manual for tubular joints which are strengthened or repaired through chord grout-filling. This project has been funded by five oil companies and two regulatory bodies. The project has comprised the conduct of over 150 Stress Concentration Factor (SCF). Further ultimate load tests on large scale as-welded and grouted tubular joints have been carried out. Separate data capture studies, including capture of data on double-skin grout reinforced joints, have been conducted, together with studies on offshore deployment, to ensure that complete chord grout-filling is achieved for all practical scenarios
