Background Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is pipeline quality gas that is fully interchangeable with fossil natural gas but is produced from a renewable feedstock and can be used as a 100% substitute for, or blended with, conventional natural gas streams [1]. RNG is an important alternative fuel that can help the State of California meet several GHG and renewable energy targets. As a transportatio...

Because of the continuous growth of electric energy consumption and the trend with electric lines of high voltages energy transport and metal pipelines which compose the transport of the fluids and liquid or gas hydrocarbons in the same corridor, the parallelism and the proximity of the power lines and the metallic pipelines become increasingly common. Consequently, it was an increasing concern...

To solve the safety hazard of a buried gas pipeline caused by subsidence mined-out area, three-dimensional model in area was established using geological parameters and finite-element software ABAQUS. The effects friction coefficient pipe soil, coal-seam dip angle, horizontal angle on mechanical behavior under varying widths goaf were investigated. results indicate that maximum equivalent stres...
