Review of API Guidelines for Pipe Piles in Sand
Most offshore structures are supported using steel pipe piles which are designed in accord with API Recommended Practice 2A. The guidelines for analysis of axial capacity of steel pipe...
Homopolar Pulse Butt Welding of API 5L Line Pipe
Homopolar pulse welding (HPW) is a welding process that is being investigated as a means to rapidly join API line pipe, having particularly great potential for application in deepwater...
A Fourier Series Solution to Bottom Roughness Induced Stresses During Pipe Laying
Often during installation, a subsea pipeline must be laid along seabed portions with rough profiles. The pipeline is forced by the bottom irregularities to bridge across consecutive protuberances....

The Caisson Solution
Detroit is expanding its wastewater treatment plant to drastically reduce combined sewer overflows. The expansion, however, is being done on an extremely congested 4 acre tract of land...
Manholes and Microtunneling
Contractors are for the Oakwood Beach Interceptor Sewer Project, on Staten Island, N.Y., were having difficulty. Glacial tills and a high water table made working 90 ft below the ground...
Pressure Pipeline Design for Water and Wastewater
This committee report,
Cables and Anchorages
The following types of cables are generally used in cable stayed bridges: Parallel bars; Parallel seven wire strands; Parallel or semi-parallel wire cables; Locked coil strands and ropes;...
Decentralized Wastewater Management
With the discovery earlier this century that city squalor caused disease, we protected ourselves by piping raw wastes away. Later, when the discharge had transformed rivers into foul,...
Under the Undersea World
Soil conditions in New Orleans are generally unfavorable to the construction of large structures, and exceptionally so along the Mississippi River banks, which tend to slide. But that...
Cellular Sheet-Pile Floodwall
Williamson, W. Va., flooded 37 times in this century, will soon be guarded by a $41 million, 4000 ft floodwall being built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A series of 41 circular...
Soil-Pipe Interaction During Frost Heaving Around a Buried Chilled Pipeline
The freezing of soil water around a buried chilled pipeline leads to soil heaving, which is affected by the presence of the pipe. This process may eventually cause pipeline failure. The...
Single Pile and Pile Group in Permafrost
The results of laboratory and field experiments on single pile and pile group behaviour in frozen soils are reported. It was shown that the character of soil deformation was influenced...
Numerical Analysis of Frost Shields
The term 'frost sheilding' has been used to describe the practice of using flat stock rigid insulation materials burial above a water or sewer pipe to reduce...
Procedure for Seismic Evaluation and Design of Small Bore Piping
Simplified methods for the seismic design for small bore piping in nuclear power plants have been used for many years. Various pipe designers have developed unique methods to treat the...
Recirculation Piping Replacement Project at Dresden Unit 3
This paper discusses the Recirculation Piping Replacement Project performed at Dresden Unit 3 during 1985 and 1986. It describes several of the technical and administrative problems associated...
Leachate Flow from an Experimental Fly Ash Landfill
Combustion of coal in large-scale utility boilers produces an ash by-product which is often stored in open landfills. An experimental fly ash landfill was constructed by Pennsylvania Power...
Fixing Foundations
Conventional underpinning or pilings are still the most common construction methods used to strengthen foundations, but new grouting techniques are giving engineers some fresh alternatives....
Emplacement Drift Temperature Reduction by Cooling Enhancement and Ventilation
The application of cooling enhancement in a short vertical container emplacement layout is analyzed. Two 25 m-long heat pipes upward oriented at 45 degrees are installed at each emplacement...
Boston's Sewage Outfall
The centerpiece of the Boston Harbor cleanup plan will be the sewage plant on Deer Island, which will treat water from 43 municipalities in the Boston metro area�500 mgd to start. In order...
