Bending Performance of the Steel Longitudinal Joint for Quasi-Rectangular Pipe-Jacking Tunnels
(ASCE, 2022/06/01)Pipe jacking is a special tunneling method for installing underground pipelines or tunnels with the minimum surface disruption. Longitudinal pipe-to-pipe joints are important for tunnels with the pipe-jacking technique. ... -
An Optimal Flow Allocation Model of the Natural Gas Pipeline Network Considering User Characteristics
(ASCE, 2022/06/01)The fundamental function of a natural gas pipeline network is to transport enough natural gas to users. Therefore, user characteristics should be considered in the formulation of the flow allocation plan of the pipeline ... -
Accuracy of Pull Force Estimation for Steel Pipe Installations Using Horizontal Directional Drilling: Review of 200 Case Studies
(ASCE, 2022/05/19)Pull force estimation in horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is an essential step during the planning phases. Pull force calculation can be relatively complicated when considering variations during the HDD construction ... -
Statistical Analysis of the Spatial Transmission of Pipeline Failures in an Oil Treatment Station at Sinopec Tahe Oilfield
(ASCE, 2022/05/23)Corrosion failure generally results in pipeline leakages during oil production. This paper systematically investigated the pipeline failure events in an oil treatment station of Tahe oilfield in the last 20 years were ... -
Transmission Loss as an Indicator of Multiple Leaks in a Pipeline
(ASCE, 2022/05/30)Because leaks tend to form at joints or welds at the intersection of modular pipes, the occurrence of multiple leaks in a long pipeline is possible. In this study, a multiple-leak detection methodology using an acoustic ... -
Influence of Traditional and Antislam Air Valve Characteristics on Transient Pressure Control
(ASCE, 2022/05/23)In pressurized water delivery systems, the admission and release discharge coefficients directly affect the transient control effect of air valves; however, the selection of the admission and release discharge coefficients ... -
Effects of Fly Ash and Simulation of the Natural Hot and Dry Climate of the Moroccan Desert Region on the Durability of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipes
