Hello, Can anyone please confirm (or provide reference materials) concerning the permissible (failure pressure/MOP) ratio of corroded pipe section for class location, 2, 3 and 4 by 49 CFR 192 (and ASME B31.8). This ratio basically dictates the need for repair criteria for corroded pipes...

Can anyone guide me to any source giving some general statistical information concerning tailings dams systems. I want to get some sense (imagination) about average properties of these huge geo-systems concerning Geometry [ultimate height, type (upstream/downstream), slope of the embankment...

If critical project why not trying to follow one of the field test :estimating the permiability on site

I 've been always wondered that there are no rules or straightforward guidelines on very common and conventional geotechnical things that engineers come across daily /or at least weekly . For example.. every project we come across the technical question (keep the budget aside): How many...

Let me explain to you my point: Most of geotechnical engineers commonly overlook an important matter when analyzing geotechnical problems under Plain Strain mode (Biaxial mode) .e.g. 2D deformation analysis of Slopes , Tunnels , embankment and foundation and so on. They implement shearing...

Hello I have Mohr-Coloumb strength parameters ,friction angle and cohesion, obtained based on Triaxial Test results ( axisymmetric loading case). Can the Direct shear test parameters be obtained from the Triaxial Shear strength Parameters.If yes, Please refer me to the related literature Thanks

In terms of elasticity : For stress strain curve ,do you have loading and unloading paths If you do not have unloading path then this would be the only way to get elasticity modulus if you only have stress-strain curve data. Alternatively, You may want to get the approximate elasticity modulus...

Alright You can use simple elasto-plsaticity model that is temperature-dependent Get the young modulus from the stress strain curve. If you notice the Curve, you find it at early loading stage linear. So get the slope of this linear part of the curve . That will be your Young modulus (E )if...

What model are you using in ABAQUS ? what material data do you have ? For the fluid pressure: you can simulate it by applying hydrostatic pressure on the edge (surface) of the metal part this fluid pressure operating on.

For applying Fluid pressure: are you analyzing porous medium..?

For modelling metal: It depends on the Loading (Cyclic or static) and on the Lab data available to you Do you have creep results? Conventional insenstive to hydrostatic pressure model ,e.g , Tresca (or Mises) with isotropic hardening can be used if you only have Stress-Strain curve under...

You apply Temperature BC at the outer surface of the pipe contacting the water (that is the temperature of the water [we assume it fixed])and the Temperature BC at the outer surface of the pipe contacting the Air (that is the temperature of the air [we assume it fixed])and given the thermal...

If you have two materials (different properties) connected by interface displacement elements then you would have this strain-jump but the displacements and the stresses should be the same.. should not they..? please check and let us know..

dog2k5 I do not understand exactly what you are doing, but if you define them as two seperate parts, you need to decide what kind of bonding should exist between them: full bonding (Tie) or with interface properties (allowing sliding at the interface)that you should reasonably estimate based on...

Numerical singularity would mean zero stiffness which in turn could be due to insufficient constraining of the material, buckling of a point in your system (geometry -caused such as a weakness pont (imperfection) or it could be due to the high distortion of the material point.
