Experimental and numerical investigations to assess the behaviour of a buried pipeline in areas with high geological instability
… of the most dangerous phenomena that can involve buried pipelines, e.g. for oil and gas transportation, or water and sewage. This aspect is currently an important part of research and a challenge for lifelines owners that are interested in prevent or limit pipeline damages. Within the framework of …

Reliability-based analysis and maintenance of buried pipes considering the effect of uncertain variables
The failure of the buried pipeline are rare events, and when it occurs, it poses a significant threat to the environment, human lives, and nearby assets. The performance of the buried pipeline is analysed based on the pipe failure modes such as pipe ovality, buckling pressure, and total axial and …

Determining lateral river channel activity with respect to safety of pipeline crossings
When oil and gas pipelines cross rivers they are often buried in the ground<br/>beneath the floodplain and river bed. There is a risk that river will expose the pipe by<br/>lateral bank erosion, as well as bed erosion, and then there is a risk that the pipe will<br/>break. Pipe failure can cause …

Response of continuous pipelines to tunnel induced ground deformations
… the bending moments and axial loads in a buried pipeline due to ground movements caused by tunnel construction in soft ground. The solutions combine closed-form, analytical solutions for tunnel-induced, free-field ground deformations in a plane orthogonal to the heading (Pinto and Whittle; …

Risk-based Renewal Prioritization Models (RPM) for Potable Water Pipeline Infrastructure Systems
Water pipelines are critical infrastructure assets buried across the United States, responsible for delivering safe drinking water at adequate pressures from source to customers. A majority of these pipelines were installed in the mid-twentieth century without adequate financial planning for future …
