Watermains are both directly and indirectly affected by climatic conditions such as
temperature and precipitation. Research has been conducted to understand and model the …

This paper presents an analytical methodology for the calculation of internal forces and
strains developing in continuous buried pipelines that cross geotechnically problematic …

The failure of pipelines in water distribution networks results in a significant volume of
pristine quality water being lost. Failing infrastructure is often identified through different …

This paper investigates the pipe–soil interaction for pipes buried in expansive soil when
subjected to swelling soil movement due to increase in moisture content. A laboratory …

This paper presents the results of a comparison between multivariate adaptive regression
splines (MARS) and random forest (RF) techniques in pipe failure prediction in two water …

Measurement of the moisture variation in soils is required for geotechnical design and
research because soil properties and behavior can vary as moisture content changes. The …

Several statistical models have been proposed to study effects of different covariates in the
failure of water pipes. In this paper, three statistical models, the Weibull proportional hazard …

A growing population and urbanization place increased demands on water supply and
distribution networks. Pipelines are one of the most critical components of water supply …

Water pipelines are vital assets which are a critical part of a nation's infrastructure due to
their importance for the supply of mankind's basic need: water. The safety of these …

The health condition of infrastructure including water transmission and distribution mains
has a great impact on the quality of human life. The performance of these water …
