2.6 Commentary about observed differences between Models 2a, 2b, 2c
     (i.e., different representations of liner-concrete interaction)

For direct comparison amongst participants, please plot (Using Excel)

  • Liner Strain Magnitudes (Hoop Direction) at Locations Indicated in Figure 11 (of SPE problem statement), versus pressure
  • Tendon stress distribution at P = 0 (prestress applied); 1 x Pd; 1.5 Pd; 2 Pd; 2.5 Pd; 3 Pd; 3.3 Pd; 3.4 Pd; Ultimate Pressure for
          A. hoop tendon nearest the penetration hatch;
          B. hoop tendon at top of your model 2.
  • Radial displacements versus pressure at Azimuth: 328o (centered on the hatch), and at 0o, 270o at same elevation as the Hatch CL (Elev. 4680 mm)
  • Ovalization: Plot separation (gap) which occurs between concrete and pipe sleeve, versus pressure, in circumferential direction
  • Ovalization: Plot separation (gap) which occurs between concrete and pipe sleeve, versus pressure, in meridional direction

Required Outputs/Results for Model 3:

3.1 Description of Failure Prediction Model or Criteria Selected for Use
3.2 Assumptions Made In Geometric Modeling, and Model Description
3.3 A subset of the response information defined by the "55 standard output locations" of the
     1:4 Scale PCCV round-robin exercise; see below for the specific list.
3.4 Contour Plot of Peak Strains in the Liner During the LST at the pressure milestones:
      P = 0 (prestress applied); 1 x Pd; 1.5 Pd; 2 Pd; 2.5 Pd; 3 Pd; 3.3 Pd; 3.4 Pd; Ultimate Pressure
3.5 Average Strains Over 450.45 mm Regions as were shown in Figure 11, locations 3, 4, 5,
      but with similar locations adjacent to all other penetrations, plotted as a Function
      of Pressure. The intent is for these strains to be over a standardized gage length, which is
      defined by the spacing between liner anchors.)

For direct comparison amongst participants, please plot (Using Excel)

  • Liner Strain Magnitudes (Hoop Direction) at Locations Indicated in Figure 11 (of SPE problem statement), versus pressure
  • Tendon stress distribution at P = 0 (prestress applied); 1 x Pd; 1.5 Pd; 2 Pd; 2.5 Pd; 3 Pd; 3.3 Pd; 3.4 Pd; Ultimate Pressure for
          – Hoop Tendons # H35, H53, H68
          – Vertical Tendon # V37 and V46
  • Plots of response versus pressure for Standard Output Locations:
    1-15 (displacements)
    22-29 (rebar strains)
    36-42 (liner strains)
    48-55 (tendon strains and stresses)
