Abstract: This paper describes a full-scale field trial carried out on plastic pipes buried in trenches, which were repeatedly loaded by a heavy vehicle driven along an overlying haul road. The vertical deformation of the pipes was ...

Abstract: To introduce a performance specification, pavement foundations must be designed using analytical methods incorporating the laboratory measured parameters of resilient elastic modulus and resistance to permanent deformation ...

Abstract: This paper examines the role of pipe deterioration prediction approaches for optimizing maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation of buried water supply, wastewater collection, and drainage networks. It is appreciated that ...

Abstract: Cast iron water distribution pipes are used widely in the UK and worldwide. Corrosion of these cast iron pipes often occurs due to an electrochemical process where the pipe is buried directly in a chemically aggressive ...
