The need for sustainable water infrastructure systems continues to grow as clean water is
essential for daily life. Despite efforts to sustain water distribution networks (WDNs), they …

The deterioration of water pipes causes significant socio-economic and environmental
burdens. Many predictors/factors are used to mitigate such problems by modelling the water …

Naturally, sedimented strata bring about complicated distributions for geomaterial properties
with different random field parameters in different directions, eg, the anisotropic scale of …

This study proposes a methodology to model gas transmission pipeline failures using
historical pipeline failure data. Censoring occurs frequently in the dataset, and overlooking it …

Severely external corrosion has occurred on the ductile iron pipelines tube, which caused
leakage and affected the drinking water supply of numerous people. The tube was made up …

Sustainable management of water distribution networks (WDNs) is essential to ensure the
continuous supply of water. However, the water pipes in WDNs often experience …

This study aims to analytically assess the time-dependent failure of corrosion-induced mild
steel pipes by employing two fracture failure criteria: the fracture toughness-based criterion …

The primary objective of this work is to introduce a novel approach that modifies the method
for analyzing and assessing the risk of water supply network failure. The approach aligns …

In most metal structures, corrosion has been recognized as the main cause of failure, and
fracture often occurs in structures subjected to corrosion, eg, metal pipes. Since the …

The risk of water pipe failure is deemed one of the significant challenges of the 21st century.
The risk analysis and modeling are intricate tasks due to the complexity of the buried piping …
