(ASCE, 2020)The purpose of this paper is to present a new kind of fast structural damage-detection method based on structural vibration responses that can be used for aboveground pipelines. This study proposes the use of structural ... -
Quantifying Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Pipe Joints to Water Infiltration
(ASCE, 2020)Hydrostatic joint performance for infiltration is a key design requirement for a reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) to withstand in situ groundwater pressure. However, current standards and test methods adopted by RCP manufacturers ... -
Model Tests on the Adhesion Factor of Full-Scale Polyethylene-Coated Pipes in Soft and Very Soft Clays
(ASCE, 2020)In subsea pipeline engineering practice, the total stress or alpha approach, which assumes that the axial resistance to pipeline walking in fine-grained soils such as soft and very soft clays for a specified type of coated ... -
Framework for Analyzing Cast Iron Water Main Fractures due to Moisture-Induced Soil Expansion
(ASCE, 2020)Cast iron pipe break rates in North American water distribution systems have increased significantly in the last six years (a 43% increase with respect to 2012). Of the numerous mechanisms that are responsible for these ... -
Predicting Crater Formation from Failure of Pressurized Water Mains through Analogy with Buried Explosive Events
