Investigating Pipeline Integrity Failure as a Result of Corrosion
Abstract: The study reviewed different failure factors and data of onshore crude oil pipelines covering corrosion, external interference, structural defects, and operators’ errors. The focus of this research is to identify factors affecting failure of crude oil pipelines in Nigeria due to corrosion with analysis of failure data from 2008–2017. Corrosion (internal and external) over total length of available pipelines for each year was analysed to determine the current mean time …

Bituminous of Plastic Road
Abstract: Transfer of waste materials, such as plastic sacks, has become a significant issue, and plastic wastes are singed for transport, causing severe environmental impact. The use of waste plastics in bituminous mixes has shown that they improve the blend's characteristics while also reducing transfer difficulties. Plastic garbage that has been separated and cleaned is sliced so that it can pass through a sieve with a size of 2 mm - …

Plastics Compressive Strength Testing
Abstract: Compression test is a mechanical test that determines how much compressive force a material to resist before cracking. A gradually applied load compresses the test item, which is commonly in the shape of a square, pyramid, or cylinder, between the platens of a compression-testing machine. Many ductile metals, such as mild steel, have extremely high compression strength, yet measuring them is challenging. Whenever a load is given to a ductile …

Analyzing the Effect of Rice Husk Ash & Quartz Powder on Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene Fiber Based Concrete Using Regression Analysis
Abstract: Several works were identified with sustainable development have uplifted the improvement of composite binders incorporating Portland cement, industrial, agricultural by- products and partial substitutions to aggregates. One of the most adverse effects of using cement is the emission of CO2 into atmosphere during production and it can be reduced with the effective use of cementitious materials. Several efforts were attempted to make use of supplementary cementitious materials to enhance the …

Finite Element Analysis of Composite Pressure Vessel with Non-Geodesic Fiber Trajectory In view of Friction Factors on Cylinder and End Domes
Abstract: Composites are materials created by dissimilar materials with a view to improve the properties or to create materials with desired properties. Progressive Fiber Polymer Composites have developed as an essential class of industrial materials for load carrying applications with well-rounded properties for many industrial and social applications. Structures like pressure vessels, pipes and motor casings made-up of Filament Winding technology are widely used in aerospace applications. Conventionally, pressure vessels were …
