Reliability analysis of slow crack growth in HDPE pipes: Impact of buried pipeline design and soil characteristics

Reliability analysis of slow crack growth in HDPE pipes: Impact of buried pipeline design and soil characteristics

This study delves into one of the most common fracture mechanisms in polyethylene pipes and the primary cause of their long-term failure, the slow crack growth (SCG) phenomenon. This failure mode in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipelines can potentially lead to brittle-like fractures without any...
