Abstract: Buried pipelines operating at elevated temperatures experience high longitudinal compressive stresses because the surrounding soil prevents thermal expansion. At high operating temperatures, buried ...

Abstract: An understanding is given of how gas pipelines decompress when they burst and fail longitudinally in a ductile mode. Transient gas flow equations expressing conservation of mass, momentum and ...

Abstract: The writers tried a new approach (for them) in R&D planning. The ceramics research group went on a two‐day retreat for the purpose of planning the implementation of an R&D program. Everyone in the group was involved and ...

Abstract: This study reports on the key findings from the application of a marsh-porosity model to a complex floodplain environment in northern Australia. The paper addresses the fundamental challenges associated with leakage in the ...

Abstract: Analytical tools are needed to evaluate the environmental impacts of sediment loading on gravel-bedded rivers. The HEC-6 version 3.2 sediment transport model was evaluated to determine its applicability, at different ...

Abstract: The height distributions of surface profiles generated by some engineering production processes are discussed, and it is shown that they may usually be modelled by continuous distributions from ...

Abstract: Previous studies assessing the accuracy of bed-load transport equations have considered equation performance statistically based on paired observations of measured and predicted bed-load transport rates. However, transport ...

Abstract: A full-scale physical model of a modified infiltration trench was constructed to test a new storm water best management practice called an ecology ditch. The ditch was constructed using compost, sand, and gravel, and a ...

Abstract: A simple snowdrift model was developed, incorporated into a distributed winter-time hydrological model, and tested against snow measurements from a hillside in eastern Washington State. Snow movement can be an important ...
