Pipe jacking is a trenchless construction technique that employs hydraulic jacking forces to install pipelines beneath urban areas, minimising surface disruption. This method is increasingly vital ...

Wesley O. Pipes, professor emeritus in the civil, architectural and environmental engineering department, passed away on May 20, 2013. Pipes had a long and productive history in research and teaching ...

Working on microscopic pipes only a millionth as wide as a single strand of human hair, Johns Hopkins University researchers have engineered a way to ensure that these tiniest of pipes are safe from ...

Polyethylene pipe engineering has evolved into a multidisciplinary field that combines materials science, mechanical engineering and advanced manufacturing technologies. High-density polyethylene ...

Millions of miles of aging water, wastewater and natural gas pipelines across the nation are at growing risk of failure, posing significant environmental, safety and financial challenges. Repairing ...

Fiber architecture, using continuous and chopped glass, mimics an I-beam for axial strength, without the need for axial or helical fibers. Improved glass sizing and toughened resin result in greater ...

Pipeline specimens were anchored to both shake tables to simulate the passage of a seismic wave through two adjacent push-on joints. Experiments took place at the NEES at University at Buffalo ...

Pipe supports are basically of two types: primary and secondary. Primary Support: In primary type, the support is attached directly to the pipe. Secondary Support: In secondary type, the support is ...
