Cathodic Protection is the " Electrical " method of controlling and stopping the rust process of underground/submerged steel pipelines and structures.

Onshore buried steel pipeline infrastructure is a critical component of the fuel supply system. Pipeline failure due to seismic actions socially, environmentally, and economically unacceptable thus design pipelines in geohazard areas, such as fault crossings, remains hot topic for community. There an intense research effort on evaluation mechanical behavior strength verification at crossings. S...

in this paper, the behaviour of buried pipelines under the effect of propagation of seismic waves and faulting is studied seperately. the stability of this type of structure was first studied by using three different methods proposed by newmark-hall, kenndey et al. and wang - yeh under the effect of ground faulting. by parametric study, the effect of soil types, size of pipeline, depth of embed...

‎ In this paper, the stand-alone photovoltaic system for cathodic protection of underground pipelines is presented. The proposed system offers continuous and automatic adjustment of the applied voltage so that the buried pipelines receive the exact current. A modified perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is used to improve dynamic and steady state performa...

Motivation and Vision Assessment of damage to lifelines after natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, or hurricanes, is a crucial component of emergency response and rescue efforts. Of particular importance are clean water delivery systems, as water is the single most important survival resource; failure to detect damage in water pipelines can lead to contamination and epidemic outbre...

The state-of-the-art in modelling of internal corrosion of oil and gas pipelines made from carbon steel is reviewed. The review covers the effects of: electrochemistry, water chemistry, formation of protective scales and scales, temperature, flow, steel, inhibition, water condensation, glycol/methanol and localized attack. Various mathematical modelling strategies are discussed. 2007 Elsevier L...
