Joint Consideration of Pipe Breakage and Pipe Flow Probabilities
Two issues of distribution network reliability, namely, probability of pipe failure and probability of the design flow being exceeded have been discussed. Expressions containing measures...

Practical Modeling of Bar Slippage in R/C Joints
A procedure based on the displacement method of analysis has been developed for analyzing the behavior of beam reinforcement crossing the interior beam-column connections under seismic...
Changes in Management: International Great Lakes
Unprecedented changes in the binational management of the Great Lakes are underway. Problems and programs to solve them increasingly are being considered on an ecosystem (comprehensive,...
Joint Venture: All Liable
Avoiding Cracks in Brickwork
Many aspects of movement and differential movement have been discussed. However, other movements and effects of movement that have not been discussed may also affect the performance of...
Bridging the Joints in Bridges
Most bridges are designed with gaps in them. The cracks allow bridges to expand and contract as the temperature changes. But water can enter these gaps and foul bearings and structural...

Modern Methods for Automating Finite Element Mesh Generation
The collection of finite elements composing the finite element model is the finite element mesh. The five papers in this book describe computer aided methods for generating finite elements...
Research Needed for Civil Engineering in the Arctic
A survey is based on the work of the Research Committee of the ASCE Technical Council on Cold Region Engineering and findings in a number of previous reports on research needs in cold...
Recent Research on Composite Structures for Building and Bridge Applications
Continuing research has been carried out at Lehigh University on composite structural members, joints, and overall systems. This paper summarizes the results of research on four selected...
Beam to Column Stress Transfer in Composite Structures
To clarify the mechanism of the stress transfer from the steel beam to the composite column through the beam-column joint, eight exterior beam column assemblies were tested under reversed...
Louisiana's Joint Public Notice System
The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, Coastal Management Division (CMD) implemented the Joint Public Notice System (JPNS), a cooperative agreement with the United States Army,...
The Evolution of Jointing Vitrified Clay Pipe
Advances made in the jointing of vitrified clay pipe during the last half century, illustrate the concern of the clay pipe industry to provide top quality jointing methods. Early 19th...
Failure of a Large Reinforced Concrete Pipeline
This paper describes the damage that occurred when a landslide overloaded an 11 ft diameter reinforced concrete pipeline. The 8 ft lengths of pipe, each of 11. 5-in. wall thickness, were...
Experiences in Concrete Pipeline Construction in Ontario 158-1985
The paper discusses the title subject in terms of concrete pipe fabrication methods and plants, pipe jointing and jointing materials, and construction experiences in the Province of Ontario,...
Stress-Intensification Factor and Flexibility Factor in Seismic Analysis of Continuous Buried Pipelines
The topics of intensified stresses and increased flexibility in pipe bends subjected to bending loads are discussed in this paper. Also discussed are dynamic strain compatibility between...
Experimental and Field Observation of Dynamic Behavior of Buried Pipelines
Cyclic torsion, axial pull-out, and bending data from experiments conducted on jointed utility pipelines buried at several depths are presented. It is found that linear relationships exist...
Dynamic Responses of Buried Pipelines
The dynamic responses of the pipelines are analyzed by the continuous mass matrix method by considering the soil as a bounded plane in which the pipeline is placed. The friction between...
