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 ... -
Physical Properties and Boundary Influence of Singularity in Fluid Pipelines Based on Vibration Wave’s Transmission Characteristics
(ASCE, 2021-09-23)The pipeline, as the fifth largest transportation tool after railway, highway, waterway, and air transportation, has been widely used in industrial production and life. However, in the process of pipeline operations, rapid ... -
Modeling of Uplift Resistance of Buried Pipeline by Geogrid and Grid-Anchor System
(ASCE, 2021-10-21)This paper presents an experimental and numerical analysis of the uplift resistance of pipelines buried in reinforced soil. The behavior of the system is studied using a set of laboratory experiments. The pull-out forces ... -
Development of a Decision Support Tool for Inspection and Monitoring of Large-Diameter Steel and Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Water Pipes
(ASCE, 2021-09-23)Like any other asset, water pipelines deteriorate over time and become vulnerable to sudden failures, which often result in costly replacement actions. In recent years, various techniques have been developed for effective ... -
Risk Assessment of Water Supply Network Operation Based on ANP-Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method
(ASCE, 2021-09-24)The water supply network is of great importance for a city, and it faces various risks such as leaks and breaks, so its risk level needs to be evaluated regularly. To propose a new and efficient method to evaluate the risk ... -
Application of Kent Muhlbauer Method to Risk Assessment of Urban Gas Pipelines
(ASCE, 2021-11-09)Oil and gas revenues play an important role in the Iranian economy and are the main source of government spending and a major part of commodity exports. Therefore, safe transport of these products by pipelines and risk ... -
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
