Abstract: Rupture of steel pipelines leads to the loss-of-containment that may be accompanied with loss of life or damage to property and environment. Therefore, the understanding of the fracture characteristics of steel grades used ...

Abstract: AbstractAs an indispensable part of pipeline construction, pipe lowering-in is one of the primary methods for laying large-diameter pipelines. When the pipeline is fully lowered in, estimating the required trench excavation ...

Abstract: In service pipelines exhibit bending loads in a variety of in-field situation. These bending loads can induce large longitudinal strains, which may trigger local buckling on the pipe's compressive side and/or lead to rupture ...

Abstract: The structural integrity of underground pipelines are subject to a major threat from permanent ground displacements when they cross active tectonic (e.g., strike-slip) faults, because of large strains potentially induced ...
