Pipelines are the most vital energy-transportation mediums of today's energy-intensive
economies. To a level, pipeline integrity is tied to the continuous development and …

Over 10,000 failures have occurred in US oil and gas pipelines in the past 15 years,
highlighting the significance of safety measures for such facilities. Various models have …

The burst pressure of oil and gas pipelines with corrosion defects is the major failure mode
of these structures. Structural reliability analysis is normally conducted to evaluate the robust …

Oil and gas (O&G) pipelines are expensive assets that cross through both the ecologically
sensitive and densely populated urban areas. The pipeline failure may have potentially …

A methodology is developed in this paper to estimate the time-dependent reliability of a
pipeline in Algeria, which is in exploitation from 1981 and with internal and external …

The stringent regulatory framework for the emissions and safety from shipping operations as
well as the market pressure to reduce the operational costs have led the cruise ship industry …

The interacting effects were demonstrated to reduce the burst capacity of corroded pipelines
significantly, which would cause the potential risk if ignored. To address this point, this study …

Transmission pipelines comprise a major part of a gas network, conveying natural gas within
jurisdictions, and across international boundaries. In the United States, more than 10,000 …

This exploratory study uses corrosion rates in aging metal pipes to predict the number of
holes in drinking water supply systems over time. Using this estimate of the number of holes …

Confidence limits (at selected levels of 68.27%, 90%, 95% and 99%) for unbiased
estimation of Weibull parameters obtained using linear least squares (LLS) analysis were …
