Earthquakes represent a class of Natural-Technical hazards which in the past has been
responsible of major accidents and significant losses in many industrial sites. However …

The need of enhanced seismic analysis and design rules for petrochemical piping systems
is widely recognized, where the allowable stress design method is still the customary …

Though often overlooked, the impact of seismic transient ground deformation on natural gas
(NG) pipes can be highly adverse. Particularly, pipe elbows may undergo excessive in …

The prevailing lack of proper and uniform seismic design guidelines for piping systems
impels designers to follow standards conceived for other structures, such as buildings. The …

The present work examines the behavior of pipe elbows subjected to strong cyclic in-plane
bending loading in the presence of internal pressure. In the first part of this work the …
