FULL SCALE AND MODEL TEST WITH A LAYBARGE SYSTEM

This paper presents some aspects related to full scale and model tests for pipelaying operations using conventional type laybarge. These tests were performed to obtain a correlation between model test and full scale test in this kind of offshore operation. As shown by the results, a good correlation was obtained between full scale and model measurements.
