Influence of wall friction on Active Earth Pressure in Model Test
Abstract: Earth pressure theories occupy a paramount position in the field of geotechnical engineering. The knowledge of active earth pressure under static condition is essential in designing a retaining wall as the damage to such retaining structures may lead to disastrous failure. A retaining wall helps in maintaining the ground surface at different elevations on either side of it. Without such a structure, the soil at higher elevation would tend to …

Challenges and Prospects of the Use of Horizontal Directional Drilling Techniques for Laying Oil and Gas Pipelines in Nigeria
Abstract: Nigeria pipelines, especially the petroleum and petroleum product pipelines are always vandalized by the sabotage. Huge amount of money is expended to put the damaged pipeline in good shape; and petroleum and petroleum product transfer is sometimes hampered due to leakages and damages caused by the oil thieves. Also huge money is being budgeted yearly to secure the pipelines. To combat this problem, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is being proposed. …

Review of Subsea Pipeline for Minimizing Thermal and Pressure Expansion
Abstract: As the offshore oil and gas fields have been exploited in deeper water, subsea pipelines are required to operate at high temperatures and pressures. It causes subsea pipelines to be more subject to movements both in lateral and axial directions due to the loads produced by high temperatures and pressures. Some high temperature pipelines have experienced the cumulative axial displacement of an overall pipeline length over a number of start-up/shut-in …

Effect of Strong Column Weak Beam Concept on Seismic Capacity of Buildings of Varying Heights: A Review
Abstract: The strong-column-weak-beam (SCWB) layout philosophy in which plastic deformation is authorized to arise most effective with inside the beams whilst the columns continue to be basically elastic is broadly followed in seismic layout codes for metallic second frames. Under this yield mechanism, the seismic strength is dissipated ordinarily with the aid of using the plastic hinges with inside the beams and on the column bases. The relative plastic flexural capacities …
