Effect of joint contamination on the quality of butt-fused high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe joints

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to evaluate pipe joint quality by using Butt Fusion for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe jointing on job sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural performance of sliplined watermain

TL;DR: In this paper, a practical method for the determination of load sharing and circumferential stresses in a sliplined pressure pipe is presented, which is based on a pressurized watermain.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of temperature on earth pressure cell readings

TL;DR: Vibrating-wire earth pressure cells are often used to measure soil pressure in fills and embankments or contact pressure between soil and buried structures as discussed by the authors, but they are not suitable for outdoor applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermal performance of trench backfills used for frost protection of water service lines

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the thermal performance of different configurations of trenches using various trench geometries and backfill and insulation materials, and show that the use of sandwich insulation is ineffective, and that latent heat of backfill is low.
Journal ArticleDOI

Innovative approach to testing the quality of fusion joints

TL;DR: In this paper, the exterior beads formed during a butt fusion process were used for non-destructive testing of the quality of butt-fused HDPE pipe joints, and a dimensionless quality parameter that is based on tensile energy to break (TEB) values obtained from tensile testing of both the bead and joint specimens.
