Effect of Using Postmanufacturer HDPE Compounds on the Behavior of Landfill Leachate Collection Pipes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In recent years, HDPE plastic pipe producers have begun to recycle waste generated from their own production. However, there are some concerns with regard to the effects of using postmanufacturer recyclable HDPE compounds ... -
Time-Variant Performance of Concrete Sewer Pipes Undergoing Biogenic Sulfuric Acid Degradation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The paper presents a methodology for the advanced design of buried concrete pipes or assessment of their performance that enables realistic decisions to be taken concerning the safe and cost-effective operation of sewage ... -
Scouring Damage to Buried Pipes Caused by Leakage Jets: Experimental Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper reports on an experimental study on the scouring of pipe materials on the outside of leaks caused by soil fluidization. A base experiment was designed consisting of a 3 mm diameter hole angled at 45° to the ... -
Estimation of Water Pipe Installation Construction Costs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)With the nation currently experiencing record droughts and water shortages in the western and southwestern states, the importation of water via large-diameter pipe transmission systems from distant more reliable sources ... -
Prioritizing Water Mains for Inspection and Maintenance Considering System Reliability and Risk
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a method for prioritizing water mains for inspection and maintenance with consideration of municipalities with a lack of data for failure probability assessment. The method employs reliability and risk ... -
Soil Pressure and Pipe Deformation Measurements for Characterizing Flexible Pipe–Soil Systems under Shallow Cover
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A field test was performed to study the response of an 800 mm internal diameter, hybrid (plastic/metal) structured wall pipe during installation and varied traffic loading. Synchronized measurements were made of radial ... -
Productivity Analysis of Lateral CIPP Rehabilitation Process Using Simphony Simulation Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)One of the challenges of the construction planning stage is selecting an appropriate construction setup, such as crew and equipment conformation, for a project. It is essential to choose a suitable method that can save ... -
Optimal Design of Star-Tree Oil-Gas Pipeline Network in Discrete Space
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Construction of oil-and-gas pipeline networks is an important topic in the field of oil and gas development. The rationality and economy of pipeline-network construction are becoming increasingly important. Generally, the ... -
Structural Performance of Oil and Gas Pipe with Dent Defect
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Energy-transmission buried pipelines are often susceptible to externally applied concentrated loads that may cause dent defects. A dent or dent defect can be best described as a local defect in the pipe’s wall causing ... -
Optimal Sizing of an Air Vessel in a Long-Distance Water-Supply Pumping System Using the SQP Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)By optimizing the sizing of air vessels, not only is the damage from water hammer prevented, but also the cost of water hammer protection systems is minimized. This paper presents a numerical simulation of an air vessel ... -
New Approach for the Computation of the Water Surface Angle in Partially Filled Pipes: Pipes Arranged in Parallel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This article presents a new approach for the computation of the water surface angle in pipes arranged in parallel. Estimating this parameter in partially filled pipes is an important task in the solution of many practical ... -
Comparative Evaluation of Topological and Flow-Based Seismic Resilience Metrics for Rehabilitation of Water Pipeline Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Whereas the continuous functioning of water distribution pipeline systems is important during normal times, it is paramount in the event of disasters such as earthquakes that are usually followed by fire accidents. Past ... -
Evaluation of Corrosion Potential of Subsoil Using Geotechnical Properties
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Corrosion of underground pipelines is an important issue in the American pipeline industry. In 2002, the estimated annual cost was approximately US$7 billion for the monitoring, replacement, and maintenance of pipelines. ... -
Effect of Irregular Seabed Profile on Upheaval Buckling of Buried Offshore Pipelines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Offshore pipelines are commonly buried in seabeds for protection against damage, for better insulation, and to prevent upheaval buckling induced by thermal and pressure loadings. The seabed imperfection is one of the ... -
Security of Cross-Country Oil and Gas Pipelines: A Risk-Based Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Pipelines are primarily instrumental for the transportation and distribution of bulk products from one part of a country to another as well as removing finished products from refineries to terminals and depots. Petroleum ... -
Optimizing the Cross-Sectional Area of the Break Pressure Tanks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)For transporting a large quantity of water over a long distance, large pipes are used. In most cases, water is transported by pumping. Installation of break pressure tanks (BPTs) at proper locations on such pipelines ... -
Strength Assessment of a Corroded Pipeline through the Burst Test: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Failure due to corrosion has become one of the major problems in maintaining pipeline integrity. Smart pigs have been used for decades to assess the in situ condition of steel pipe serving the oil and gas industries. The ... -
