Abstract
On-bottom stability is one of the most critical elements in the design of submarine pipelines. Empirical research into vertical and horizontal stability during installation and operation of both buried and unburied structures began with ancient harbor structures. This entered into a new phases with the mid-19th Century transatlantic cable crossings and ocean outfalls of the 1890s. While sanitary and environmental engineers have looked at the behavior of effluents in the sea, the increasing development of offshore petroleum production since about 1950 has sparked most of the theoretical and empirical studies of on-bottom stability that are identified in this chapter and that constitute the operational extensions to Terzaghi’s classic work (24).
