Analysis of buried pipelines subjected to ground surface settlement and heave
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analytical methodology for the calculation of internal forces and strains developing in continuous buried pipelines that cross geotechnically problematic areas and are suscep...

Fragility analysis of gray iron pipelines subjected to tunneling induced ground settlement
TL;DR: In this paper, the probabilistic risk assessment of gray iron pipes subjected to tunneling is explored, where a modified Gaussian distribution profile is incorporated as displacement-controlled boundary conditions on spring elements.

Fragility analysis of continuous pipelines subjected to transverse permanent ground deformation
TL;DR: This study develops a simplified two-dimensional numerical model that characterizes the pipes as beam-type structures and the surrounding soil as Winkler springs and generates fragility curves for pipelines subjected to transverse PGD for the first time.

Experts’ understandings of drinking water risk management in a climate change scenario
Åsa Boholm,Madeleine Prutzer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on one particular resource of utmost necessity and vulnerability to climate change, namely, the provisioning of safe drinking water, and they focus on how Swedish experts understand risk to drinking water in a climate change scenario and how they reason about challenges to risk management and adaptation strategies.

Soil movements induced by tunnelling and their effects on pipelines and structures
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of tunnelling-induced ground movements on buried pipes and buildings are discussed. But they do not consider the impact of ground movement on underground pipelines.

Estimating the Effects of Tunneling on Existing Pipelines
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for estimating the maximum bending moment for continuous (or rigidly jointed) pipelines affected by tunnel-induced ground movement is presented, which is based on the knowledge of tunnel and pipeline geometries, the stiffness of soil and pipeline, and tunnel induced ground deformation at the pipeline level.

Soil-pipe interaction due to tunnelling: comparison between Winkler and elastic continuum solutions
TL;DR: In this paper, an elastic continuum solution and a closed-form Winkler solution with Vesic subgrade modulus were compared for the problem of tunnelling effects on existing pipelines.

Forecasting Variations and Trends in Water-Main Breaks
Yehuda Kleiner,Balvant Rajani +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structural deterioration of the pipe is considered to be a steady, monotone process, but some of the environmental and operational stresses acting upon it are time dependent, steady, or transient.

Pipesoil interaction analysis of jointed water mains
TL;DR: In most developed countries, the average life of these cast or ductile iron pipes approaches 5075 years as mentioned in this paper. But in recent year, this average life has increased to 80 years.
