investigating the parameters influencing the behavior of buried pipelines under dynamic loading is of great importance. in this study the soil structure interaction of the pipelines with the surrounding soil was addressed using shaking table tests. wave propagation along the soil layers was also included in the study. the semi infinite nature of the field was simulated using a laminar shear box...

Cracks will be generated due to high internal temperature of the massive concrete. Postcooling method is widely employed as a standard cooling technique decrease poured mass In this paper, an annular finned pipe which can increase heat transfer area between flowing water and its surrounding concrete proposed enhance effect postcooling method. Analysis interior variation distribution block coole...

Pipelines are extensively used engineering structures which convey fluid from one place to another. Most of the time, pipelines are placed underground and are encumbered by soil weight and traffic loads. Corrosion of pipe material is the most common form of pipeline deterioration and should be considered in both the strength and serviceability analysis of pipes. The study in this research focus...

The detection of cracks in concrete infrastructure is a problem of great interest. In particular, the detection of cracks in buried pipes is a crucial step in assessing the degree of pipe deterioration for municipal and utility operators. The key challenge is that whereas joints and laterals have a predictable appearance, the randomness and irregularity of cracks make them difficult to model. O...

In this paper we investigate the mechanism of internal erosion caused in the right abutment of the Shahghasem dam’s spillway. Shahghasem dam is an earthen dam located in Yasouj, in southwest of Iran. A significant hole and pipe have been observed in the corner of the right abutment from upstream view. The foundation is Marlstone, which has low cohesion and susceptible for internal erosion and p...

Pipe vibration induced by water hammer frequently emerges in conveyance system, especially the hydropower plant or pumped storage power station with long diversion pipelines. This turn affects hydraulic pulsation so that undesired fluid-structure interaction (FSI) arises. In this research, attention is given to a pipeline embedded concrete. A six-equation model was derived describe fluid-pipe-c...

Concrete Vibration can take some time ans sometimes it just seems to take longer than it should to pour and consolidate a precast product, such as concrete pipe or a manhole section. Frustrated by sluggish procedures, The Cretex Companies’ Rapid City, South Dakota, plant determined to improve on the half hour it took to pour zeroslump concrete, consolidate it, and get the top ring in place on t...
