Analysis of Wastewater and Water System Renewal Decision-Making Tools and Approaches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)In regards to the development of software for decision support for pipeline renewal, most of the attention to date has been paid to the development of asset management models, which help an owner decide on which portions ... -
Detection of Distributed Deterioration in Single Pipes Using Transient Reflections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)A number of different methods that use signal processing of fluid transients (water hammer waves) for fault detection in pipes have been proposed in the past two decades. However, most of them focus solely on the detection ... -
Application and Pipeline Vertical Displacement Analysis of Chemical Grouting for Pipeline Position Restoration Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The chemical grouting method presented in this paper can restore the position of a pipeline by precisely and rapidly reinforcing the failed pipeline foundation. The method can also improve the meandering and sagging ... -
Centrifuge Test to Evaluate the Geotechnical Performance of Anchored Buried Pipelines in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The aim of this study was to evaluate the uplift capacity of buried pipes to propose a new anchoring system using geogrids as an alternative and to improve the uplift resistance and inhibit the upward movement of pipes, ... -
Preliminary Design and Engineering of Pipe Ramming Installations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Installation of new buried pipes and culverts, and replacement of existing ones utilizing trenchless technologies, is increasing in popularity because these methods mitigate many of the surface disturbances associated with ... -
Heuristic-Based Pipe Dimensioning Model for Water Distribution Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)An economic design of water distribution system components plays an important role in the water-supplying agency because of the requirement of a large financial investment on construction, operation, and maintenance. ... -
Pipeline Research Workshop

Model Test Studies on Soil Restraint to Pipeline Buried in Bohai Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Under high thermal stress, buckling of submarine pipelines may occur to release the stresses accumulated in the walls of the pipelines. The likelihood that buckling occurs is largely determined by the capability of the ... -
Damage Detection in Pipes under Changing Environmental Conditions Using Embedded Piezoelectric Transducers and Pattern Recognition Techniques
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper presents the preliminary results of a research project that investigates the feasibility of continuous monitoring techniques using piezoelectric transducers (PZTs) permanently installed on steel pipes. The ... -
Free-Spanning Submarine Pipeline Response to Severe Ground Excitations: Water-Pipeline Interactions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Submarine pipelines are usually laid unburied. Free spanning may be caused in the line by seabed unevenness, topology changes, scouring, or sand waves. In seismically active areas, the free spannings are prone to severe ... -
Risk Assessment of Wastewater Collection Lines Using Failure Models and Criticality Ratings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Because of deteriorating condition levels of wastewater networks and financial constraints, sewer agencies are seeking methods to prioritize inspection of sewer pipes on the basis of risk of failure. Risk assessment of ... -
Tom Iseley: Father of the Trenchless Technology Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012) -
Fully Automated Decision Support System for Assessing the Suitability of Trenchless Technologies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Decisions related to the rehabilitation of wastewater and water infrastructure are increasingly more complicated as the number and complexity of technologies in the marketplace increases. Established methods, such as ... -
Mobilization Distance for Upheaval Buckling of Shallowly Buried Pipelines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Buried pipelines may be subject to upheaval buckling because of thermally induced compressive stresses. As the buckling load of a strut decreases with increasing out of straightness, not only the maximum available resistance ... -
Numerical and Experimental Investigation of a Pipe-Joint System for High Operating Pressures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)For pipelines laid in difficult ground, as frequently encountered in Alpine regions, a pipe system, consisting of individual pipes made of ductile cast iron, which are connected at joints at the construction site, is a ... -
Large-Diameter Pipe Subjected to Landslide Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)When a pipeline crosses a landslide, it is subjected to combined loads, which can result in bending and subsequent ovalization of the pipe cross section. When compressive stresses cause buckling and ovalization, then the ... -
Effect of Pipe Stiffness on Maxi-HDD Pull Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The ASTM standard F1962, Standard Guide for Use of Maxi-Horizontal Directional Drilling for Placement of Polyethylene Pipe or Conduit Under Obstacles, Including River Crossings, provides a procedure for estimating pull ... -
Assessment of the Behavior of Buried Concrete Pipelines Subjected to Ground Rupture: Experimental Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Rapid assessment of damage to buried pipelines from earthquake-induced ground deformation is a crucial component to recovery efforts. This paper reports on the first year of a four-year study aimed at developing rapid, ... -
Expectation Analysis of the Probability of Failure for Water Supply Pipes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The probabilities of failure for cast iron (CI), ductile iron (DI), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and concrete cylinder (CC) pipes were analyzed to determine the pipe type that failed most consistently at the Honolulu Board ... -
Acoustic Detection of Leaks in Water Pipelines Using Measurements inside Pipe
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Acoustic leak-detection techniques are proven to be effective and have been widely used in water-distribution systems for several decades. Most of the existing acoustic leak-detection techniques rely on external measurements ...
