Recommendations on Firefighting System Design, Erection, and Safe Operation
(ASCE, 2021-09-16)Fire water and foam distribution systems are installed in every petroleum installation worldwide. But so far, their adequate installation practices are not sufficiently complied with, possessing high limitations for the ... -
Fuzzy-FMECA Decision-Making Tool for Assessment and Analysis of Performance of Urban Sewerage Networks
(ASCE, 2021-11-26)Sustainable and effective management of urban sewerage networks (USNs) require relevant, appropriate, and effective decision support tools. This article proposes an innovative decision-making methodology, namely, the fuzzy ... -
Morphological Characteristics of Overlying Soil Eroded by Leakage Gas from Buried Pipelines
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)After an underground gas pipeline experiences damage in the form of microfissures, the pressurized gas has an erosion effect on the overlying soil, which will change the form of overlying soil and cause local displacement ... -
Behavior of UHMWPE Material in Water Supply Systems Considering Water Quality
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)This study assesses the performance of an existing ductile iron (DI) pipe network and a pipe network of an alternative new material, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The study involved the modeling of ... -
Study Effect of Antiturbulence Additives on Hydraulic Efficiency in Oil Pipelines by Disk Turborheometer
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)To determine the efficiency of additives Necadd-447, M-FLOWTREAT, FLO-XL, and FLO-MXA, a method for conducting experiments and processing the obtained results is proposed in this paper. The hydraulic efficiency for all ... -
Stress Intensity Factor of Double Cracks on Seabed-Spanning Pipeline Surface under the Spring Boundary
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)In order to study the interaction of multiple cracks on the submarine spanning pipelines under a complex marine environment, the stress intensity factor (SIF) of double circumferential cracks on the surface of submarine ... -
Cable Pulling Force in Pipes with 3D Bends for Different Installation Methods
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)The theory to predict cable pulling forces during installation in pipes has already existed for 7 decades. Here, gravity and capstan friction are ruling, and analytical equations are used for straight (sloped) sections ... -
Debris Residence Time in Circular Drop Manholes: Experimental Perspective
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Drop manholes commonly are used in steep-slope urban areas to decrease pipeline slopes because flow velocity should be limited to a specific range in sewer and drainage systems. Surface runoff usually carries particles ... -
Experimental and Finite-Element Studies of Buried Pipes Connected by a Bellow Joint under Cyclic Shear Loading
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)In an accompanying paper, pipes that were connected by a bellow joint were examined under cyclic axial loading. The results show that the bellow connection can significantly reduce the axial force and increase the deformation ... -
Damage Identification of Pipeline Based on Ultrasonic Guided Wave and Wavelet Denoising
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Guided wave technology shows excellent capacity in the damage identification of the pipeline. In practical inspection, the detection ability is greatly reduced due to the interference echo signal from the feature structure ... -
Impacts of Extreme Hydrological Events on the Behavior of Buried Stormwater Pipe
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)This study focused on estimating the strength and deformation behavior of buried concrete pipe subjected to heavy rainfall-induced flooding, soil infiltration, leaks from the buried pipe, and erosion of the foundation soil. ... -
Optimum Sanitary Sewer Network Design Using Shuffled Gray Wolf Optimizer
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Sanitary sewer networks are among the most important and most costly infrastructures in the water resources management field. However, the optimum design of these networks is cumbersome and sophisticated; due to these ... -
Leveraging Hydraulic Cyber-Monitoring Data to Support Primitive Condition Assessment of Water Mains
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Buried water pipelines deteriorate in response to several variables such as pressure transients, corrosion, and pipeline material degradation, among others, that are dynamic processes, and it is therefore difficult to ... -
Improved Design Guidelines for Pipelines Subjected to Vertical Fault Movement in Dry Sand
