When FEA simulations confirm that pipeline walking exceeds allowable limits, structural mitigation is required. DNV-RP-F118 provides specific design guidance for the most reliable engineering solutions. Structural Anchors
For a mooring line, failure probability is heavily influenced by fatigue and wear. For a pipeline, it might be corrosion or spanning.

DNV regularly updates RPs based on joint industry projects (JIPs). Anticipated changes to F118 include: dnv-rp-f118

Engineers often ask: "Why F118 when we have API RP 2RD or ISO 13628-7?"
The primary goal of a qualification process under DNV-RP-F118 is to establish a Probability of Detection (PoD) curve. This curve is a statistical representation of the system's effectiveness. When FEA simulations confirm that pipeline walking exceeds
(e.g., J-lay vs. S-lay).
Consider a 10-inch gas pipeline crossing a low-relief slope exhibiting 5 cm/year creep.
The critical buckling load of the inner pipe within the tight confines of the outer pipe. For a pipeline, it might be corrosion or spanning
Many projects use API 17J for flexible pipe body design, but adopt DNV-RP-F118 for the global system analysis, especially for fatigue and riser interference.
The scope of DNV-RP-F118 is laser-focused. According to DNV, its purpose is to describe the specific system requirements, input requirements, qualification process, and data analysis processes for AUT systems.
