Abstract: Thermal stress analysis is an integral part of the design and integrity assessment of buried pipelines. Pipe bends can be subjected to significant cross-sectional deformations due to bending moments induced by thermal ...

Abstract: Finite-element modeling of pipelines buried in dense sand under oblique loading in vertical (upward)–lateral load space is presented. The prepeak hardening, postpeak softening, density, and confining pressure–dependent ...

Abstract: The structural integrity of buried pipelines is often threatened by permanent ground deformation (PGD) within the pipeline route. Oil and gas transmission steel pipelines, which usually traverse several kilometers, are ...

Abstract: Sustainable soil stabilization refers to using environmentally friendly and long-lasting techniques to improve the strength and durability of the problematic soil, e.g., expansive soil. Using non-energy-intensive ...
