This paper presents an updated review of the external corrosion and failure mechanisms of
buried natural gas and oil pipelines. Various forms of external corrosion and failure …

Water distribution systems (WDS) are among the most critical civil infrastructure systems. A
reliable and safe water supply is essential for the prosperity and continued well-being of …

The unintentional release of urban buried gas pipeline may cause crucial consequences to
the economy, society and environment. Corrosion and external interference are primary …

Pipelines are economical and efficient modes of transporting oil and gas. Pipelines will
inevitably confront various risk factors throughout their lifespan, which could lead to defects …

Corrosion defect on pipelines shows a time-dependent growth in service environments.
Prediction of corrosion defect growth and failure pressure of corroded pipelines as a function …

A probabilistic model is developed in this study for calculating the failure probability and
finding the associated reliability for a given pipeline in a plant affected by the time …

Buried pipes, as a significant civil infrastructure, play a vital role in water, oil and gas
transports. In this paper, a systematic method is developed to accurately predict the failure …

A methodology that employs the first-order reliability method is proposed to evaluate the
time-dependent system reliability of a segment of a pressurised steel pipeline containing …

A fast calculation of the reliability is meaningful to the in-line inspection of corroding natural
gas pipelines. However, the traditional Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method is time …

Corrosion defects were primary causes for pipeline burst failures. Traditional methodologies
simplified the realistic irregular-shaped defects as uniform ones, ignoring the effects of …
