Interaction between an Aramid-Reinforced Flexible Composite Liner and a Carbon Steel Pipeline Containing Corrosion Defects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Internal corrosion in carbon steel pipelines is a serious challenge in the oil and gas industry. Conventional rehabilitation techniques used to stop corrosion losses and prolong the life of pipelines use an internal lining ... -
Design, Construction, and Operation of a Monitored District Heating Pipeline System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The need for understanding the performance of district heating pipeline systems has led to the development of a monitoring program. This program includes the design of the connection of an instrumented section of piping ... -
Impact of Thermal Models on the Performance of Natural Gas Pipelines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study investigates the energy savings in the nonisothermal flow of natural gas during its pipeline transportation compared to the isothermal flow. Isothermal and nonisothermal models are adopted while considering the ... -
Comparison of Corrosion Resistance of Fiberglass/Epoxy and Fiberglass/Polyester Composite Pipes for Application in Natural Gas Transportation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Two types of composites, fiberglass/epoxy and fiberglass/polyester, were compared for possible application to natural gas pipelines. The properties of these composites in some corrosive media were estimated using tensile ... -
Trenchless Limitations on Postearthquake Repair and Rehabilitation of Unpressurized Networks: Christchurch, New Zealand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Earthquakes are one of the most devastating natural disasters, annually causing severe damage to underground infrastructures, including unpressurized wastewater and stormwater networks. After intensive seismic damage has ... -
Development of a Model for Estimation of Buried Large-Diameter Thin-Walled Steel Pipe Deflection due to External Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Diameters and wall thicknesses of flexible pipes are usually designed as per hydraulic requirements, such as flow capacity, internal fluid pressure, and pipe material properties. Proper embedment is then designed to protect ... -
Pipeline Leak Detection and Location Using Boundary Feedback Estimation: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper describes the development and testing of a methodology for continuous detection, size estimation, and location of leaks in pipelines using a closed-loop boundary feedback estimator constructed on a real-time ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Optimization of Gathering and Transmission Pipe Network Layout in Gas Field and Pipeline Route in 3D Terrain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The construction and development of a gathering and transmission pipe network in a gas field is a hard and critical task that is one of the main procedures to be performed during the gas field’s productive life. This paper ... -
