The conventional carcass made from a flexible metallic layer which has the potential of corrosion and weight issue as the main problems during installation operation. The �ball-and-socket� concept is made from glass epoxy material and with an interlocking design that made from several segment to form a single pipe length. The use of composite has its benefit in term of strength, stiffness and weight as compared with conventional carcass pipe. The results showed that �ball-and-socket� design has solved the second issue of having heavy weight while still maintaining adequate structural strength to hold the hydrostatic pressure. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London. date: 2016 publisher: CRC Press/Balkema official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85009827057&doi=10.1201%2fb21942-106&partnerID=40&md5=faa227ee825b6280d726a2e4b99b056e id_number: 10.1201/b21942-106 full_text_status: none publication: Engineering Challenges for Sustainable Future - Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Civil, offshore and Environmental Engineering, ICCOEE 2016 pagerange: 521-526 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781138029781 citation: Billah, A.F. and Mustaffa, Z. and Albarody, B.T.M.B.
