Direct Tension Performance of Steel Pipelines with Welded Slip Joints
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Full-scale direct tension test results are presented in this paper for two steel pipelines with welded slip joints, using high quality external welds, and an outer diameter and wall thickness of 320 and 6.4 mm, (12.5 and ... -
Effectiveness of Viscoelastic Models for Prediction of Tensile Axial Strains during Cyclic Loading of High-Density Polyethylene Pipe
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipelines are commonly installed using horizontal directional drilling (HDD), a trenchless construction technique used to replace or expand underground pipelines which generates cyclic axial ... -
Long-Range Facility Planning Based on Dynamic Programming for Optimum Combined Cost and Probability Paths
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Dynamic programming (DP)-based planning algorithms have been shown to be valuable tools since they provide a basis for sampling, enumeration, and optimization of options for long-range deployment of facilities. Previous ... -
Manifold Flow in Pressure-Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Manifolds are used extensively in pipeline engineering applications. They may be classified as combining-flow in which the flow rate increases along the length of the manifold, and dividing-flow in which the flow rate ... -
Seismic Design and Analysis of Buried Culverts and Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper presents a method to analyze and evaluate buried culverts and cut-and-cover tunnels for seismic loading in addition to standard static loading from dead and live loads. Using CANDE-2007, a plane-strain finite-element ... -
Cost Estimating Models for Utility Rehabilitation Projects: Neural Networks versus Regression
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Due to the poor condition of the sewer and water networks in many communities across the United States, many rehabilitation projects are being undertaken to improve their condition. With limited availability of funds, early ... -
Integrated Conveyance Condition Assessment Techniques Support Asset Management and Capacity Driven Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Traditional asset internal condition assessment inspection techniques gather data that improve the understanding of an asset’s condition and capacity performance. Inspection data are difficult to compile because of the ... -
Capsule Separation by Linear Induction Motor in Pneumatic Capsule Pipeline Freight Transport System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)In order to advance the state-of-the-art in pneumatic capsule pipeline (PCP) underground freight transportation science, this paper examines the problem of separating capsules that may naturally form into trains as they ... -

Genetic Programming to Predict River Pipeline Scour
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The process involved in the local scour below pipelines is so complex that makes it difficult to establish a general empirical model to provide an accurate estimation for scour. This technical note describes the use of ... -
Seismic Fragility Formulations for Segmented Buried Pipeline Systems Including the Impact of Differential Ground Subsidence
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Though differential ground subsidence (DGS) impacts the seismic response of segmented buried pipelines and increases their vulnerability, there are no fragility formulations that estimate repair rates under such conditions ... -
Seismic Damage Estimation for Buried Pipelines: Challenges after Three Decades of Progress
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper analyzes the evolution over the past three decades of seismic damage estimation for buried pipelines and identifies some challenges for future research studies on the subject. The first section of this paper ... -
Ring-Reinforced Pipelines: That Moment of Mystery
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Soil support is routinely incorporated into the design of a buried flexible pipeline, whether straight walled or corrugated. However, there does not appear to be any published design guidelines for a buried ring-reinforced ... -
Recommendations for Design of Reinforced Concrete Pipe
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Currently, two methods are available for the design of reinforced concrete pipes: -
Ranking of the Factors Affecting Productivity of Microtunneling Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The need to provide utility service lines with less disruption to the ground surface has increased the demand for trenchless excavation methods like microtunneling. Although the microtunneling technique has been used in ... -
Parametric Dependency and Trends of HDD Pull Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The required pulling loads on pipes installed by horizontal directional drilling (HDD) are related to the route characteristics and various implementation parameters, some of which are directly controllable. The application ... -
Risk Evaluation for Maxi Horizontal Directional Drilling Crossing Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) has become increasingly used for the construction of large diameter (more than 600 mm or 24 in.) pipeline projects throughout China. Due to the large investment of capital and resources, ... -
Hierarchical Fuzzy Expert System for Risk of Failure of Water Mains
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)In Canada and the United States, there have been 700 water main breaks per day costing more than CAD 6 billion since 2000. Risk of failure is defined as the combination of probability and impact severity of a particular ... -
Reliability Analysis of Buried Flexible Pipe-Soil Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Reliability analysis of the buried flexible pipe-soil system is performed from three different failure criteria: (1) deflection; (2) buckling; and (3) wall thrust. The response surface methodology is used to establish ... -
