In-Situ Evaluation of 30-In. (762-mm) Diameter Prestressed Concrete Lined-Cylinder Pipeline
The results of an extensive investigation to evaluate the in-service condition and future serviceability of an existing lake water make-up pipeline are briefly described herein. The pipeline...

Combined Load Testing of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe
A series of combined load tests were run on prestressed concrete cylinder pipe in order to evaluate a proposed new method of design for pipe made to AWWA Standard C301. These tests involved...

Innovative Concept for Prestressed Pressure Pipe
A new design and manufacturing concept was developed by General Atomics for prestressed pressure pipe. With this new concept, patented in the U.S. and in the major industrialized nations,...

Geometrical Nonlinearity in Offshore Pipelines
Pipelines are very flexible structural systems which are subjected to various boundary conditions. For instance, during the laying process, the pipes roll on the guidance tracks on the...

Next Stop: The Los Angeles Metro Rail
The Los Angeles Metro Rail is a $6.5 billion light and heavy rail system, which may be entirely completed by the year 2000. A 22 mi segment of the 150 mi light rail system, connecting...

Whatever Happened to Long-Term Bridge Design?
The Chairman of the Board of one of the leading engineering firms in the nation ponders the future of American bridges. In today's designing of bridges, Thomas R. Kuesel points...

Seam Examination
Charron discusses the importance of seam sampling in geomenbrane installation. In 1988, about 30 million mi of polyethylene geomembranes were used to line landfills, liquid impoundments,...

Design of Ductile Iron Pipe on Supports
Design procedures for ductile iron pipe in normal underground service have been well established. The standard design considers hoop stresses in the pipe wall due to internal hydrostatic...

Performance of Pipe Spillways for Dams
The Soil Conservation Service has used several different kinds of pipe products for spillway conduits of dams. Materials with a shorter estimated life are used for smaller low hazard dams...

Failure of Prestressed Concrete Embedded Cylinder Pipe
In 1964, the Ontario Provincial Government undertook to supply water to the City of London (current population 300,000). The supply source was from Lake Huron near Grand Bend, Ontario...

Anchorage Sewer Rehabilitation in Campbell Lake
This paper discusses the proposed rehabilitation/replacement of the Campbell Lake portion of the Campbell Creek C-5 Trunk Sewer (C-5 Trunk) located in Anchorage, Alaska. The original corrugated...

Whitfield Reservoir Inlet Outlet Pipeline
Alameda County Water District reports on the planning, design and construction of a 48-inch water main installed under modern urban circumstances. The location of the pipe and the construction...

Pipeline Design and Construction Using High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Pipe
All pipelines and pipe materials must be designed and constructed to address the limitations of the pipe and fittings in order to insure acceptable performance of the line. Conventional...

Cheyenne Stage II Water Delivery Pipeline and Shoshone Municipal Water Supply Pipeline
This paper deals with the design and construction aspects of two pipeline projects in Wyoming. Located in southeastern Wyoming, the Cheyenne Stage II Water Delivery Pipeline consists of...

Pipeline Explodes, Two Dead, 31 Injured, 11 Homes Destroyed
A high pressure pipeline in a suburb of San Bernardino, California exploded in a deadly fireball on May 25, 1989. Damaged as a result of a train wreck several weeks earlier, or by the...

Corrosion Protection of Cast Iron and Ductile Iron Pipe, San Diego, California
This paper addresses the use of a loose unbonded plastic covering polyethylene encasement for protection of cast and ductile iron pipe in an extremely corrosive soil. The case study in...

Measured Performance and Numerical Analysis of Buried Pipe
This study shows that the behavior of a soil pipe system can be assessed by a nonlinear elasto-plastic finite element analysis. The results of numerical calculations are compared to the...

Design of Drainage Pipes Below Landfills
Drainage pipes are an essential component of landfills. Even though their embedment conditions differ substantially from those of pipes for municipal utilities near the ground surface,...

FE Elastic Analysis of Measured Earth Pressure on Buried Rigid Pipes in Centrifuged Models
FE elastic analyses of earth pressure on buried rigid pipes yielded results that agreed well with the earth pressure measured in 42 centrifuged models, confirming both the reliability...

Evaluation of Combined Load Tests of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe
Combined load tests of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe, presented by Tremblay in the proceedings of this conference, are analyzed. Data gathered during the tests includes first visible...
