Buried pipelines essentially involve problems of soil-structure interaction that include several complex factors such as geometry, material properties, and boundary conditions. Complete, comprehensive and lengthy numerical analyses using the finite element ...

This paper discusses the stability of underground pipelines with preformed vertical bends buried in sandy soil. More specifically, the minimum cover height required to prevent the pipe from bowing under the action of forces due to temperature change and internal ...

This paper presents the results of extensive laboratory testing carried out on three soils from Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia for the evaluation of the hyperbolic model for use in non linear models.
