Landslides are a risk to buried gas pipeline infrastructure, but these risks particularly difficult assess given the complex nature of landslide movements. This paper presents portion research conducted at University Manitoba where pipelines within active areas were monitored over 4 year period. Two locations examined in western Assiniboine River Valley shallow natural runs parallel valley slop...

Abstract Leakages from buried water pipes can result in suffosion posing a threat to the environment and infrastructure existing cities. Leakage of pressure pipe into soil susceptible is very complex phenomenon, characterized by number different parameters. Taking account all parameters empirical tests leakage practically impossible. Thus, it necessary select them so that on one hand possible p...

Tire-derived aggregate (TDA) has been used successfully as a backfill soil to reduce the applied stresses on buried steel pipes. The preceding study, however, paid no attention inspecting TDA efficiency of concrete pipes subjected and traffic loads. In addition, it is not clear how material, loading, burial depth, road section affect pipe-bending moment. Therefore, this paper examines in reduci...

The behavior of buried offshore pipelines subjected to upheaval buckling has attracted much attention in recent years. Numerous researchers have made great efforts investigate the influence different soil cover depth ratios, strengths and pipe-soil interfaces on failure mechanisms bearing capacities during pipeline uplift. However, spatial variability been relatively limited. To address this ga...
