Pipeline By Moness Rizkalla

• This second edition of the 2008 ASME publication on the same topic is an expanded and updated treatment of a broader range of pipeline geohazard management aspects to serve the global community of pipeliners - both those of a geotechnical background as well as their colleagues in the multi-disciplinary teams that deal practically with these issues. The book strikes a balance between overviews of certain topics and somewhat more detailed treatment of other topics. Recognized experts were invited to contribute entire chapters, short Invited Technical Briefs or longer Invited Perspectives in their areas of specialization.

• This book will serve as a valuable reference to widely applicable and critically important geo-environmental topics for pipeline engineers worldwide. The topics covered are: route selection, open cut and elevated river crossings, horizontal directional drilling, buoyancy control and geohazard management.Authored by a team of recognized specialists in their respective fields and with practical examples from experiences around the world, this book will provide generalists with working knowledge in the topics addressed to better define design, construction and integrity management issues and to identify practical solutions.
