Investigation of Culvert Joints Employing Large Scale Tests and Numerical Simulations
(2013-01-02)The performance of joints in buried gravity flow pipelines are important since failure of these elements can affect the structural capacity of soil-pipe systems and reduce their longevity. Currently, there are no clear ... -
The Performance of Reinforced Concrete Pipe Joints under Differential Ground Settlement
Leakage from reinforced concrete pipe joints has negative environmental impacts and can compromise the sewer or culvert’s service life. Pipes can fracture, corrode, rotate, experience joint pullout, and potentially undergo ... -
Vitrified Clay Pipe Joint Behaviour Under Differential Ground Movement
(2015-09-08)Field-scale experiments were used to investigate the behaviour of pipe joints connecting four segments of vitrified clay pipe subjected to differential ground movement. Firstly, linear potentiometers, inclinometers and ...
