Pipeline Systems

The intent of this study is to investigate the difference between a serrated faced flange connection and a non-serrated faced flange connection; mainly to determine whether one would leak sooner than the other.

Project Title: Hoop Tensile TestIndustry Partner: PSI LabCIEST Personnel Participants: John HindmanYear: 2022Project Summary:The CIEST Laboratory successfully completed testing pipe liner samples for “apparent hoop tensile

The intent of this study is to impose external loading conditions to test specimens that are representative of the significant deformations possible during earthquake-induced ground motions such as landsliding, fault rupture, and liquefaction-induced lateral spreading, characterizing the pipeline system capacity.
