The main loads on buried pipelines are combinations of internal pressure, soil load, bending and normal force. Combinations of excessive soil loads and bending may occur [...]

Special pipeline components such as pipe elbows, bends are used to change the direction in pipeline alignment. These components are sensitive to imposed deformation and t [...]

Industrial facilities, e.g. power/chemical/petrochemical plants, terminals, and their components, such as liquid storage tanks and piping systems, when subjected to seism [...]

Seismic-links are energy dissipative structural elements developed for earthquake-resistant steel structures. The link is designed to experience severe inelastic deformat [...]

Ground-supported unanchored liquid-storage cylindrical tanks, when subjected to strong seismic loading may exhibit uplifting of their bottom plate, which has significant [...]

Pipelines constructed in geohazards areas, are subjected to ground-induced actions from seismic fault movements, slope instability, soil subsidence, and liquefaction-indu [...]

The purpose of this work was to assess the efficiency of retrofitting masonry structures using steel strengthening solutions. A stone masonry benchmark structure was used [...]
