As　one　of　the　means　to　inhibit　offshore　pipeline　corrosion,　lining　a　thin　layer　of　stainless　steel　within　the　carbon　steel　pipeline　provides　an　economical　and　durable　design.　Current　design　codes　EN1993-1-1　and　DNV-OS-F101　ignore　the　contribution　of　the　liner　pipes　towards　the　crosssection　capacity,　which　might　lead　to　inefficient　design.　The　focus　of　this　study　is　to　investigate　the　interaction　of　the　two　pipe　layers　arises　during　manufacture　and　the　development　of　local　buckling　of　the　lined　pipe　under　compression.　Experiments　to　study　the　interaction　behaviour　of　the　liner　pipe　and　the　outer　pipe,　including　saw　tests　and　ring-split　tests　were　performed.　Then　a　series　of　short　lined　pipes　were　tested　under　axial　compression,　with　a　built-in　camera　to　capture　the　development　of　liner　wrinkling.　After　the　tests,　numerical　models　were　developed　and　validated,　and　a　series　of　parametric　studies　were　conducted.　The　obtained　test　and　FE　results　were　used　to　assess　the　applicability　of　the　codified　provisions　for　the　design　of　lined　pipes　under　compression.　Improved　design　method　was　developed　considering　the　liner　pipe　contribution　and　material　strain　hardening.　The　proposed　approach　provides　better　prediction　accuracies　on　the　structural　behaviours　of　lined　pipes　under　axial　compression.
