Abstract: Structural deterioration of buried pipeline due to adverse corrosion effect is among the leading causes of increasing possibility of pipe failure. As a result, maintenance intervention becomes a fundamental task for good ...

Abstract: A new methodology for incorporating stochastic models in integrity maintenance management for high-pH stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in gas pipelines has been presented. The generation of new crack features along with the ...

Abstract: On the basis of time-dependent reliability analysis, a computational framework called subset simulation (SS) has been applied for risk-cost optimization of flexible underground pipeline networks. SS can provide better ...
