Abstract: Using arbitration to resolve commercial disputes has many advantages over court-based litigation. These include the use of “judges” who understand the relevant technical issues and industry practices and thus reduce the ...

Abstract: The paper describes the results of a model test series with the purpose of determining the hydroelastic vibrations of a nearbed pipeline span exposed to flow conditions created by steady ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the estimation of the failure probability of wind turbines required by codes of practice for designing them. The Standard Monte Carlo (SMC) simulations may be used for this reason conceptually as an ...

Abstract: Complete and equally spaced river quality variables specific conductance (

Abstract: River quality and quantity variables such as specific conductance (SPC, μs/cm), total dissolved solids (TDS, mg/L), and daily mean discharge (DDM,

Abstract: A new criterion is presented for the design against upheaval creep of buried hot marine pipelines. Observations have substantiated that the gradual upheaval of an “imperfect” buried pipe can ...
