A Fuzzy Random Chance-Constrained Programming for Water Distribution System under Uncertainty
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)In this paper, a model with integration of interval programming (IP), chance-constrained programming (CCP), and fuzzy random variables (FRVs), termed as an inexact fuzzy random chance-constrained programming (IFRCCP) model, ... -
A Hydraulically Activated Power Launching Method for Pigs for Gas-Gathering Pipeline Networks in Gas Fields
(ASCE, 2022-02-15)In the gas-gathering pipeline networks in gas fields, launching pigs in the downstream pipeline causes dramatic fluctuations in the gas transportation volume and pressure in upstream pipelines. It is important to shorten ... -
A New Pipeline Condition Assessment Method Using a Multicomponent Interferometric Dictionary for Quantification of Pipeline Notches
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)This paper proposes an improved matching pursuit (MP) method with a multicomponent interference dictionary (MCID) based on a pipeline guided wave reflection model. The proposed method separates the overlapped time domain ... -
A New Strategy for Mitigating Pipeline Uplift in Liquefied Soils
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)Seismic-induced liquefaction is one of the main hazards for pipelines buried in saturated granular materials. When soil is partially or completely fluidized, a lifeline, although installed in superficial trenches in which ... -
A Novel Low-Pressure Release Method Based on Inlet Regulation for Users with Low Demand Scenario
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)Due to the mismatch between gas production and consumption in the gas delivery system (GDS), reduced customer demand can easily lead to overpressure and gas release. Companies mainly use high-pressure release (HPR) to lower ... -
A Novel Safety Early Warning Methodology for Pipelines under Landslide Geological Hazard
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)Pipelines serve as a crucial infrastructure for long-distance and cost-efficient transportation of oil and gas resources. The safety and reliability of oil and gas pipelines crossing mountainous areas, however, are susceptible ... -
A Study on the Effectiveness of a Built-In Aeration Feature for Navigation Lock Valves
(ASCE, 2022/06/08)The cavitation problem at the valve section of the filling and emptying system is a very prominent hydraulic problem in high-lift navigation locks. Drawing air into the valve section is an economic and effective method to ... -
AC Pipe in North America: Inventory, Breakage, and Working Environments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Asbestos cement (AC) pipe constitutes a significant portion of the water distribution pipes still in service in many North American cities. To understand the state of the AC pipe inventory in North America, a survey was ... -
