Pipe-soil interaction for free-spanning pipelines subjected to in-line VIV: Geotechnical centrifuge testing on natural carbonate silty sand

This paper presents an experimental investigation of pipe–soil interaction using geotechnical centrifuge modelling. The tests simulated the response of rigid pipe ‘elements’ at free-span ‘shoulders’ subjected to horizontal cyclic loading representative of pipeline movements durin...
