Thermal Analysis of Vent Pipes and Clamped Saddles Interacting with Pipe Racks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Vent pipes of natural gas compression stations can achieve very low temperatures during depressurization operations, and for such a reason their construction material is often specified to have a very low minimum design ... -
Effect of Pressure Sampling Methods on Pipeline Integrity Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)A computing program has recently been developed to predict corrosion fatigue crack growth in pipeline steel in near-neutral pH environments. Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data are used as inputs for crack ... -
Structural Cast-in-Place Application of Polyolefin Fiber–Reinforced Concrete in a Water Pipeline Supporting Elements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Research has shown that polyolefin-based macrofibers can meet the requirements of the standards to consider their postcracking contribution in the structural design of fiber-reinforced concrete. The main drawback of such ... -
Change in Toughness Parameters of Sewer Pipes Rehabilitated with Two Types of Epoxy CIPP Liners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The main objective of the investigation was to evaluate the influence of the installation of two kinds of epoxy cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liners (adhesive and independent) on the change in load capacity of concrete and ... -
Water-Hammer Control in Pressurized-Pipe Flow Using a Branched Polymeric Penstock
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper investigates the redesigning of existing steel piping hydraulic systems to control severe water hammer positive and negative surges. The applied control strategy is based on adding a branched polymeric short ... -
Controlling Fatigue Damage during Deepwater Installation of Inline Components
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The exploitation of ultradeepwater fields often implies the use of large-diameter export pipelines. The installation of such large-diameter and long-distance export pipelines is commonly accomplished by applying J and S ... -
Analysis and Design of Buried Steel Water Pipelines in Seismic Areas<sup>1</sup>

Explicit Solution for the Specific Flow Depths in Partially Filled Pipes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper presents an explicit solution for the specific flow depths in partially filled pipes of circular cross-sectional area. Four depths encounter in most classical free-surface flow problems, namely the normal depth, ... -
Design of a Pipe Network Using the Finite-Element Method Coupled with Particle-Swarm Optimization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In this study, the optimal design of a pipe network is proposed using a simulation–optimization model. Simulation and optimization were performed using the finite-element method (FEM) coupled with particle-swarm optimization ... -
Jacking Force Analysis of Pipe Installation Using a Modified Guided Boring Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The modified guided boring method (MGBM) is a new pipe installation method used in hard ground, where a conventional guided boring method is not applicable. Estimation of the required jacking force for pipe installation ... -
Lateral Resistance of Buried Pipeline in c–ϕ Soil
