The study evaluated the performance of a grouted fibre-reinforced composite repair system for steel pipelines with different levels of metal loss through finite element analysis, showing that thicker sleeves and higher tensile strength grout provide higher pipe capacity. A high modulus grout allows for more effective load transfer from steel to sleeve in the repair system.
Grouted fibre-reinforced composite stand-off sleeve repair is a light-weight and easily deployable repair system for steel pipelines with localised metal loss. The effectiveness of this type of repair system is dependent on the load transfer through the grout layer, which is weaker than neighbouring components and susceptible to failure due to stresses developed from applied internal pressure. In this study, three dimensional (3D) Finite Element Analyses (FEA) of a full-scale pipe with different levels of metal loss were implemented to evaluate the failure behaviour and capacity of grouted composite repair system. Steel pipes with a localised defect ranging from 20% to 80% metal loss and repaired using two infill grout systems reinforced with carbon and glass sleeves of different thicknesses were considered. The results indicated that the performance of the repair system is governed by the tensile cracking of the infill grout. A thicker sleeve and higher tensile strength grout delivers higher pipe capacity in the repair system. On the other hand, a high modulus grout provides a more effective load transfer from steel to sleeve. Using a high tensile strength grout, the composite repair system can restore the capacity of the steel pipe with defect up to about 70% metal loss.
