Abstract
Large ground movements around pipelines caused by freeze-thaw cycles in northern climates can cause stresses that exceed the yield strength of linepipe. Strain-based design, requiring detailed information on the capacity of the linepipe to tolerate deformations without buckling or rupturing, is used to account for this severe operating environment.
