Abstract: The performance evaluation of buried extensible plastic pipelines, such as polyethylene pipes in the gas distribution industry, in areas prone to ground movement is a key consideration for many utility owners. Considering ...

Abstract: The postcyclic reconsolidation response of low-plastic Fraser River silt was examined using laboratory direct simple shear testing. Specimens of undisturbed and reconstituted natural low-plastic Fraser River silt and ...

Abstract: This paper presents both the results of an experimental program and numerical simulations, which have been conducted to investigate the ductility of composite beams in the hogging moment regions under fire conditions. The ...

Abstract: It is commonly assumed that within inundated sand the Skempton

Abstract: This paper presents a technique to quantify water savings due to implementation of water restrictions by adopting water restriction indexes as a continuous numerical predictor variable in regression analysis. The adopted ...

Abstract: The problem of laminar film condensation of a vapor from vapor-gas mixture in laminar flow in a vertical parallel plate channel is formulated theoretically. The flowing gas-vapor mixture contains ...

Abstract: The problem of condensation of water vapor from humid air flowing in a duct in turbulent flow is formulated theoretically. Vapor condensing at the dew-point temperature of the vapor-air mixture ...

Abstract: This study presents the results of interface torsional ring shear tests conducted at intermediate normal stress levels that are usually prevalent at soil–pipeline interfaces under near-shore conditions. Four normally ...

Abstract: Muskeg soil is widespread in Canada. It covers around 15% of the Canadian landscape. Its problematic nature is attributed to its high compressibility and low shear strength when subjected to loads because of its high initial ...
