The high Strength Line Pipe Committee (HLP Committee) organized by the Iron and Steel Institute of Japan has carried out a series of 7 full-scale burst test using X70 pipes. A simulation model for the propagating shear fracture in pipelines was developed from theoretical investigations of the test results. The paper gives a summary of all the full-scale burst test results, an outline of the HLP Committee's simulation model, the verification of its accuracy, investigation of the effects of several factors on crack propagation and calculated arrest energy requirements fo varied pipeline conditions.
