Untitled
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)By means of numerical modeling and experimental measurements, this work addresses the longstanding controversy of whether or not IR (ohmic) drops need to be considered in on-potential cathodic protection criteria. The ... -
Untitled
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Sensor networks have gained tremendous appreciation in recent years and have been successfully tested in various application scenarios such as disaster management, pipeline monitoring, and environmental monitoring, as well ... -
Evaluation of Load-Rating Procedure for Metal Culverts under Shallow Soil Covers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A research study was carried out recently in Ohio to evaluate the current method employed by Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for load rating corrugated metal culverts installed under extremely shallow soil covers. ... -
True Stress–Strain Curves Test and Material Property Analysis of API X65 and API X90 Gas Pipeline Steels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this paper, true stress–strain curves of two natural gas pipeline steels, API-5L X65 and X9, were studied using the three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) technique. During the test, the steels were ... -
New Method of Modeling the Behavior of Buried Steel Distribution Pipes Subjected to Reverse Faulting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper proposes a new method for modeling the behavior of buried steel pipes under reverse faulting. The maximum soil–pipe interaction forces are determined using the results of detailed finite-element analyses that ... -
Vulnerability of Natural Gas Pipelines under Earthquake Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Turkey is one of the most important countries in terms of natural gas consumption and transmission capacity. Turkey is an important transmission zone for international pipelines such as Baku–Ceyhan and Natural Gas Pipeline ... -
Determining Relative Weights of Sewer Pipelines’ Components and Defects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Condition assessment models for sewer network components can be considered a tool for key personnel to make informed decisions regarding the required interventions on the basis of the current conditions of these components. ... -
Assessment of Stochastic Approaches in Prediction of Wave-Induced Pipeline Scour Depth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Scouring phenomena below a pipeline exposed to waves is intrinsically a stochastic process. There is a huge level of uncertainty due to effective parameters on the scour depth prediction and mathematical shape of traditional ... -
Application of GFRP for Unburied Submarine Pipeline in Shallow Water of Coral Islands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Flexible pipelines such as high density polyethylene pipes (HDPE) and bonded pipes for seawater intake systems are often subjected to oscillations, due to the combined action of the wave and current in a shallow water ... -
Finite-Element Analysis of the Installation Process of a Novel Corrosion Protective Kevlar-Reinforced Flexible Composite Liner
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Internal corrosion in pipelines is a persistent problem in the oil and gas industry. Available conventional rehabilitation techniques to stop corrosion losses and prolong the life of the pipeline use an internal lining ... -
Defect-Based ArcGIS Tool for Prioritizing Inspection of Sewer Pipelines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a defect-based model for assessing risk of failure for sewer pipelines. The proposed model deploys a Sugeno fuzzy inference system to create a risk index from which inspection and replacement activities ... -
Numerical Modeling Evaluation of Drilling Mud Loss Risk for a HDD Borehole in a Low-Strength Competent Bedrock
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) plays an important role in pipeline construction. Drilling mud loss, or the maximum allowable drilling mud pressure, in soil and sand layers during HDD has been continuously studied ... -
Data Mining and Equi-Accident Zones for US Pipeline Accidents
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Data mining is performed on the last 21 years of United States pipeline accident data to illustrate the trends in different pipeline accident types and their consequences, namely financial losses, fatalities, and ... -
Vulnerability of Buried Energy Pipelines Subject to Earthquake-Triggered Transverse Landslides in Permafrost Thawing Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Current regional seismic loss estimation models, for example, the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazus, typically employ empirical functions for damage assessment of buried pipelines subjected ... -
Experimental Studies of Self-Cleansing Drainage System Design: A Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Self-cleansing is a design criterion for drainage systems that mitigates the continuous deposition of sediments at the channel bottom. In recent decades, in order to improve the knowledge for determination of self-cleansing ... -
Numerical Study of Restrained Joint and Pulling Load for Ductile Iron Pipe in Horizontal Directional Drilling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)As an alternative pipe material, ductile iron pipe (DIP) has been more and more widely used in horizontal directional drilling (HDD) because of its excellent mechanical performance and corrosion resistance. The limited ... -
Experimental and Upper-Bound Analysis of Lateral Soil Resistance for Shallow-Embedded Pipeline in Bohai Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In the deep sea, pipelines can undergo penetration during the laying process; therefore, lateral soil resistance is of great importance for shallowly embedded pipelines to maintain stability under high-temperature and ... -
Scenario-Based Seismic Risk Assessment for Buried Transmission Gas Pipelines at Regional Scale
