Abstract:Traffic loads have an important impact on long-term performance of buried urban pipelines due to generation of cyclic stress and fatigue damage. As a key task for pipeline fatigue assessment, the investigation of traffic-induced pipe stress and fatigue load spectrums is always a big challenge. Focusing on the metal pipelines buried under urban intersection, an integrated framework is proposed for fatigue assessment of the pipelines under traffic loads using video monitoring data acquired by the widespread surv… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
