TL;DR: In this paper, structural imperfections and deformation-dependent axial friction resistance are incorporated in a set of analyses which enable a more rational interpretation of submarine pipeline buckling behaviour to be established.

TL;DR: In this paper, a more rational interpretation of submarine pipeline vertical buckling behavior is presented, which provides additional insight into the mechanism of the ‘pop-up’ phenomenon and enables quantitative definition of both the respective critical state and the immediate post-buckling characteristics for the first time.

TL;DR: In this article, the buckling of submarine pipelines subject to axial loading has been investigated in the form of linearised study, and both vertical and lateral deflection modes have been analyzed.
