The values given below are recommendations from Taylor and Valent. Transverse values will be greater, perhaps by 50% to 100%. The context of both of these references is the contribution of chains and cables to anchor holding power, so we assume the friction values given are axial. To enable this effect to be modeled, different friction. The device is designed to use a work class ROV as a testing platform to allow measurements to be obtained without use of a specialized geotechnical survey platform. Lines lying on the seabed often move axially more readily than laterally. This paper describes a new device for measuring seabed sliding resistance in situ, and provides an associated interpretation procedure. The applied friction force never exceeds 5 where R is the seabed reaction force and is the friction coefficient.
Instead, in most cases, the sliding friction coefficient should be used this will usually be conservative. OrcaFlex applies Coulomb friction between the line and the seabed. OrcaFlex does not, however, support this distinction. Some information is given in Puech (1984) and Taylor and Valent(1984), both of which distinguish between starting friction and sliding friction: starting friction is greater, to represent the "breakout" force. The friction coefficient for contact with elastic solids is specified on the friction coefficients data form. These friction coefficients apply to seabed contact only. The axial friction coefficient may be set to '~', meaning that the lateral friction coefficient is used for all directions of motion. For intermediate directions, OrcaFlex interpolates between these two values. This is represented by having different friction coefficients for motion in the lateral and axial directions. Lines lying on the seabed often move axially more readily than they move laterally. The friction force applied never exceeds $\mu R$, where $\mu$ is the friction coefficient and $R$ the seabed reaction force. The friction force applied never exceeds R, where is the friction coefficient and R the seabed reaction force. 3, pp.OrcaFlex applies Coulomb friction between the line and the seabed. Seabed friction coefficients OrcaFlex applies Coulomb friction between the line and the seabed. Journal: International Shipbuilding Progress, vol. Keywords: Riser, seabed, fatigue, random waves, soil stiffness The results indicated that the SCR responses were highly separated in terms of fatigue performance especially for weak to normal soils. Model (IV) which represents a very stiff seabed, had a minimum fatigue life of about 6.5 percent of the model (I). Model (I), which represents weak soils with very low stiffness, could resist on continuously applied harsh environmental condition for 139.6 days. Results show that the seabed stiffness makes considerable differences in dynamic and fatigue responses of SCRs in the touch down zone (TDZ) and reveal the importance of proper seabed stiffness modeling. The level of frictional resistance varies depending on the amount of contact, for instance, cables pulled linearly along the seabed will exhibit much less friction than cables pulled laterally across the seabed. Also, the effect of seabed stiffness on the structural behavior of the SCR is studied. The friction depends on a number of factors including contact area, friction coefficients and, for seabeds, the relief profile. Figure 7 CALM Buoy model of submarine hoses and mooring lines in Orcaflex. So in this study, the significance of SCR-seabed interaction is investigated.
It is needed to have more understandings of SCR behavior. Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) connected to Floating, Production, Storage, and Offloading unit (FP SO), is a preferred and commonly used solution to the challenges.

Offshore platforms and marine risers, as the main parts of this industry, have many challenges and design issues. ent friction coefficients, the paper values friction coefficient as 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 according to the friction characteristic be- tween the seabed and pipeline respectively.
