Laboratory Study on Effect of Grout Choice on Culvert Rehabilitation Using Sliplining
(ASCE, 2020)Two corrugated steel pipes were repaired with grouted high-density polyethylene (HDPE) slipliners, one with low-density (i.e., low-modulus and low-strength) grout, and the other with high-density (i.e., high-modulus ... -
Linear Prediction for Leak Detection in Water Distribution Networks
(ASCE, 2020)Leaks in water distribution systems can run continuously for extended periods undetected due to their minimal impact on pressure and vibration signals in the overall system. Detecting such leaks from acoustic measurements ... -
Efficient Approach to Simulate Soil–Pipeline Interaction
(ASCE, 2020)It is common in practice to utilize finite elements for obtaining a solution for soil–structure interaction problems. There are different finite-element methods (such as implicit and explicit) being employed at present to ... -
Equivalent Celerity in Water Hammer for Serially Connected Pipelines
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents the results of studies of water hammer phenomena in a physical model in combinations of two and three pipelines connected in series. The combined pipelines were made of steel and polypropylene. Pipelines ... -
Molding and Simulation of Pig Speed with Brake Unit in Gas Pipeline
(ASCE, 2020)To provide efficient pigging operation, a stable and moderate speed of the pig is preferred. This paper describes a brake device for controlling the speed of a pig in a gas pipeline. A pigging model of a pig with a brake ... -
Use of BFRP Wrap for Rehabilitation of Pipeline in Bending with Various Corrosion Depths
(ASCE, 2020)The feasibility and effectiveness of basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) wrap in the rehabilitation of corroded pipes under bending and internal pressure was investigated by using experimental tests and numerical analyses. ... -
Modeling Subsea Pipeline Movement Subjected to Submarine Debris-Flow Impact
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Deepwater pipelines are susceptible to destructive impacts from submarine debris flows. Understanding the subsea pipeline movement driven by submarine debris flow is critical to the optimization of pipeline routes and ... -
Safety Monitoring of Buried Pipeline with Socket Joints Subjected to Ground Deformation Using MEMS Inclinometers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Ground deformation, which is a common consequence of surface loads, construction activities, excavation work, subterranean cavitation, soil subsidence, and so on, poses a serious threat to nearby pipelines. This work ... -
Modeling and Parametric Study of Gasketed Bell and Spigot Joint in Buried RC Pipeline
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Joints in buried pipelines have diverse configurations and materials, and are subjected to different loading and installation conditions which will influence their performance. Therefore these parameters need to be examined, ... -
Soil Responses to Monotonic and Cyclic Lateral Displacement of a Buried Pipe
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Soil resistance to monotonic lateral displacement of buried pipelines has been well studied in the literature, but there is limited information on the interaction between soil and buried pipes subjected to cyclic displacement. ... -
Optimization of Oil-Flow Scheduling in Branched Pipeline Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The article considers a new approach to oil transportation scheduling in oil pipeline network systems. This new approach is based on a mathematical model that solves the optimization transport problem as a system of objective ... -
Forensic Investigation of a Wide Culvert Reconstruction Failure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)A growing number of large culverts in the national transportation network are in poor condition. Often, aging infrastructures carry heavy traffic through urban corridors. Either after failure or for replacement, reconstruction ... -
Distribution Systems: Has Asset Management Made a Difference?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Successful management of water distribution systems will rise in importance as more people gain access to piped water globally. While much research about the management of these systems has been completed, public concern ... -
