Abstract: A method for assembling two tubes (1, 2) made from thermoplastic materials, that involves welding by heating two applied rotational contact surfaces of two parts of two tubes (1, 2), respectively, arranged end to end or overlapping coaxially (XX′). The method involves induction heating of at least one conductive welding element (4), arranged at the interface (3) between the two contact surfaces, by generating a magnetic field at said conductive welding element or elements, such that the melting of the thermoplastic materials constituting said contact surfaces produces a continuous and sealed weld at said interface on at least one closed loop along the entire perimeter of said interface.

Abstract: A method of monitoring variation in the thrust exerted by at least one buoy exerting traction on an undersea pipe, wherein: 1) the deformation of at least one optical fiber is measured by measuring variation of an optical signal in said fiber extending on the surface or embedded securely in the bulk of at least one of the following support elements: a) the buoy; b) at least a portion of: b1) the length of the tubular wall of the pipe or b2) an anticorrosion coating or a thermally insulating material fastened on the surface of said pipe, on which said buoy exerts traction, and c) an abutment part secured to said pipe or buoy, and on which said buoy exerts said thrust; 2) a variation of said thrust exerted by said buoy is determined as a function of said variation of the optical signal.
