Abstract Bamboo Winding Composite Pipe (BWCP) is a novel product that reintroduces and
modernizes the use of bio-based pipes in below ground water reticulation infrastructure, and …

Non-metallic pipe (NMP) materials are used as an internal lining and standalone pipes in
the oil and gas industry, constituting an emerging corrosion strategy. The NMP materials are …

Reliable lifetime prediction of underground polyethylene (PE) pipes must be based on a
more in-depth understanding of failure mechanisms and a more reliable extrapolation …

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has become one of the dominant construction materials for sewer
systems over the past decades, as a result of its reputed merits. However, since PVC sewer …

Due to the superior properties of polyethylene (PE) pipes, their applications covered a broad
range of urban and engineering demands. Currently, one of the crucial issues in highly …

Polyethylene pressure pipes are designed for service lives of at least 50 years. While so far
lifetimes have been assessed by pipe pressure tests, due to improved slow crack growth …

Several tests methods are available for the characterization of the slow crack growth (SCG)
resistance of polyethylene (PE) for pipe applications. Unfortunately, due to the increase of …

The decrease in stress crack resistance (SCR) of geomembranes (GMBs) due to physical
ageing is examined. It is shown that the SCR of a 1.5 mm high density polyethylene (HDPE) …

This paper deals with residual stress in polyethylene (PE) pipes as an important factor that
influences their lifetime. Residual hoop stress distribution in a PE pipe was determined …

In this work, a short time test method to determine the slow crack growth behaviour of
samples made out of pipes was evaluated. The cracked round bar (CRB) method used …
