This paper describes laboratory tests on small-diameter high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
pipes buried in reinforced sand subjected to repeated loads to simulate the vehicle loads …

There have been many studies that have investigated the behavior of buried corrugated
metal pipes (CMPs) in culvert applications. However, full-scale testing of buried culverts is a …

This study presents the results of experimental tests carried on buried uPVC (unplasticized
polyvinyl chloride) pipes with an external diameter of 160 mm. The behavior of buried pipes …

A numerical simulation of laboratory model tests was carried out to develop an
understanding of the behaviour of pipes in a trench prepared with 3-Dimensional reinforced …

A plain steel pipe with a diameter of 762 mm was buried in the field at depths of 0.3, 0.6, and
1.0 m to investigate the differences in pipe behavior under soil compaction and external …

This paper describes a laboratory model test carried out on high-density polyethylene
(HDPE), small diameter pipes buried in trenches, which subjected to repeated loadings to …

Punch-through corrosion on decommissioned buried steel pipes not only leads to soil
migration and ground settlement, but also reduces the load bearing capacity of buried pipes …

The structural integrity and safety of buried pipes are mainly governed by the deflection and
the maximum stress, which are controlled by the earth pressure exerted around the pipe …

This paper presents an experimental investigation examining the novel idea of employing
curved expanded-Polystyrene (EPS) blocks that arch around the upper section of buried …

This paper describes a full-scale field trial carried out on plastic pipes buried in trenches,
which were repeatedly loaded by a heavy vehicle driven along an overlying haul road. The …
