Laboratory Investigation of Ground Surface Settlement Caused by Erosion around a Leaking Pipe
(ASCE, 2021-12-08)Ground subsidence may occur around deteriorated sewer pipes because of groundwater and soil infiltration into the pipes. Since field measurements are difficult to perform, it is important to use laboratory models to examine ... -
Operation Optimization of Multiroute Cyclic Natural Gas Transmission Network under Different Objectives
(ASCE, 2021-11-26)Natural gas transmission networks (NGTNs) are the main facility connecting upstream gas sources and downstream consumers. For a cyclic NGTN with multiple gas transmission routes, different gas transportation schemes will ... -
Classification of Hydrate Blockage and Pipeline Leakage in Natural Gas Pipelines Based on EMD and SVM
(ASCE, 2021-11-25)In this paper, pipeline abnormal events (hydrate blockage and pipeline leakage) were detected by an active acoustic excitation method based on pulse compression. The positions of pipeline abnormal events were determined ... -
Allowable External Loading of Buried Smooth-Wall Steel Piping: Parametric Evaluation Using the Latest Guidance
(ASCE, 2021-12-11)Buried steel pipelines see wide use in municipal, industrial, and power plant settings. Methodologies exist for evaluating buried smooth-wall steel pipes for external loading such as soil load and live load, which have ... -
Application of LRBF-DQ and CVBFEM Methods for Evaluating Saturated Sand Liquefaction around Buried Pipeline
(ASCE, 2021-11-19)Liquefaction is a phenomenon that occurs in loose saturated granular soils during seismic loading. In this study, the control volume finite-element method (CVFEM) and local radial basis function-based differential quadrature ... -
The Effect of Strain Hardening on Mechanical Properties of Line Pipes for the Application of Pressure-Containing Sleeves
(ASCE, 2021-10-15)The pressure-containing encirclement sleeve (Type B) is one of the most widely employed oil and gas pipeline repair methods. It is used for both in-service pipelines and various types of defect repairs, including leakage ... -
Development of Flexible Structural Precast Concrete Conduits for Earth Dams
(ASCE, 2021-10-15)Conventional precast concrete conduits for earth dams are fixed with prestressed concrete (PC) steel or bolts at the joints. This leads to problems of ground-following performance and water leakage, which severely hinders ... -
Seismic Response of Parallel Double Pipelines to Longitudinal Ground Motions
(ASCE, 2021-10-18)The failure of one pipeline may compromise the integrity of adjacent pipelines, especially for closely spaced parallel pipelines. This paper presents a series of multipoint shaking table tests of parallel double pipelines, ... -
Band-Stop Filtering Method of Combining Functions of Butterworth and Hann Windows to Ultrasonic Guided Wave
(ASCE, 2021-11-09)In view of the presence of a large amount of noise in the measured ultrasonic signals and the small contribution of existing filtering methods to the improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the band-stop filtering ... -
Styrene Emissions in Steam-Cured CIPP: A Review and Comparison of Multiple Studies
(ASCE, 2021-10-08)Recent research by Matthews et al. at the Louisiana Tech University Trenchless Technology Center (TTC) regarding styrene emissions produced during steam-cured, styrene-based cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) installation was ... -
Experimental Investigation on Characteristics of Leak Noise in Gas Pipeline Systems
(ASCE, 2021-10-06)Pipelines are essential elements in the daily operation of modern cities, but significant economic loss and environmental damage commonly occur because of pipeline leakage. The acoustic method has proven to be effective ... -
Directional Drilling in Glacial Deposits in Warren County, New Jersey
(ASCE, 2021-09-30)This case history pertains to three horizontal directional drilling bores that were advanced under streams and are in close proximity to or beneath three bridges. During construction, optical surveys were performed to ... -
Integrated Augmented Reality and Cloud Computing Approach for Infrastructure Utilities Maintenance
(ASCE, 2021-09-17)In the construction industry, technology plays a significant role. Techniques such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), holograms, and other visualization techniques have been primarily concerned with sectors ... -
Load Capacity of Perforated Reinforced Concrete Sewer Pipes
(ASCE, 2021-09-21)In cities, reinforced concrete pipes are often employed to construct storm sewer systems. Due to impervious base layers, stormwater runoff dominates rather than rainwater infiltration, leading to problems in aquatic ... -
Navigating Federal and State HDD Guidelines for Interstate Natural Gas Pipeline Crossings
(ASCE, 2022-02-24)Feasibility and suitability assessments have become increasingly important for trenchless projects, as some Federal and State permitting agencies have released guidance on the information required to complete their ... -
Longitudinal Seismic Response of Underground Pipelines Subjected to Multiple-Supported Random Ground Excitations
(ASCE, 2021-09-27)For long-span structures, such as long bridges and underground pipelines, the loss of correlation of ground movements during an earthquake should be taken into account for seismic analyses. In this paper, longitudinal ... -
