Abstract: This paper presents a multiobjective optimization model that provides new and unique capabilities including generating and evaluating optimal/near-optimal construction resource utilization and scheduling plans that ...

Abstract: As the safest means of transporting gas and hazardous materials, pipelines transport invaluable petroleum material. However, a considerable number of accidents have happened involving these facilities, leading to economic ...

Abstract: Oil and gas pipelines transport millions of dollars of goods worldwide every day. Even though they are the safest way to transport petroleum products, pipelines do still sometimes fail, generating hazardous and irreparable ...

Abstract: Although they are the safest method of transporting oil and gas, pipelines are still subject to different degrees of failure and degradation. It is therefore important to efficiently monitor oil and gas pipelines to optimize ...

Abstract: Because of their potential danger to public health, economic loss, environmental damage, and energy waste, underground water pipelines leaks have received more attention globally. Researchers have proposed active leakage ...
