Criteria for rehabilitation priority are an important factor in planning theimprovement of water supply systems. In this study, deteriorations of water pipes arediscussed to evaluate structural stability of deteriorated cast iron transport andtransmission pipes. For the purposes, safety factor is introduced and estimated bymeasuring tensile strength and analyzing stress caused by the internal-external loadsworking on buried pipe body. Prediction models of a residual tensile strength arepresented using pit characteristics and fracture toughness.Related information is surveyed and collected in the fields up the pipe bydigging and assessing its structural stability.. The collected data is analyzed to evaluate the deterioration degree of thepipes including corrosion and pitting characteristics, fracture toughness, installationenvironment and water qualities etc. Assessment models developed in this studyshowed a little correlation for measured residual tensile strength. The results will veryhelp water utilities to manage water pipes in the aspect of rehabilitation andassessment of structural safety. |
