Prediction of Liquefaction Potential of Sandy Soil around a Submarine Pipeline under Earthquake Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Liquefaction of sandy porous soil under earthquake waves is the most important feature governing the serviceability of underground pipelines. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) is combined with the mesh-free ... -
Experimental Quantification of Intrusion Volumes due to Transients in Drinking Water Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Currently it is not possible to fully assess the risks to human health and wellbeing from contaminant intrusion into drinking water distribution systems due to lack of understanding and accurate estimation of intrusion ... -
Wind Tunnel Test Study on Pipeline Suspension Bridge via Aeroelastic Model with π Connection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Pipeline suspension bridges are narrow and wind sensitive. There is a lack of research on the mechanical performance of pipeline suspension bridges under wind load, especially under the action of gorge wind. This paper ... -
Fuzzy-Based Robustness Assessment of Buried Pipelines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a fuzzy-based robustness measure and assessment of a buried pipeline for periods of 4, 8, 12, and 16 years. The adverse effects of corrosion on the performance of a buried steel pipeline are ... -
Responses of Shallowly Buried Pipelines to Adjacent Deep Excavations in Shanghai Soft Ground
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Analyses of well-documented field instrumentation data from two deep excavations in Shanghai soft ground indicate that displacements of shallowly buried pipelines caused by adjacent excavation are predominantly governed ... -
Detection and Isolation of Interior Defects Based on Image Processing and Neural Networks: HDPE Pipeline Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper investigates the condition of polyethylene (PE) pipelines as a case study. This study introduces a novel method to detect and diagnose defects of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes. The pipe defect detector ... -
Financing Underground Freight Transportation Systems in Texas: Identification of Funding Sources and Assessment of Enabling Legislation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Freight transportation by trucks plays a significant role in the economy of a region, and at the same time contributes greatly to the deterioration of roads and highways. The majority of goods shipped in Texas are carried ... -
Estimating the Density of Fluid in a Pipeline System with an Electropump
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)To transfer petroleum products, a common pipeline is often used to continuously transfer various products in batches. Separating the different products requires detecting the interface between the batches at the storage ... -
Influence of Pipe Material on the Transmission of Vibroacoustic Leak Signals in Real Complex Water Distribution Systems: Case Study
