This study aims to investigate the interaction between reinforced thermoplastic pipes (RTPs) and sandy soil. The mechanical properties of sandy soil in the South China Sea region were determined through shear tests to obtain fundamental data. Subsequ...
Reinforced thermoplastic composite pipes (RTPs) have been widely used for oil and gas gathering and transportation. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has the greatest potential as a thermoplastic liner of RTPs due to its excellent thermal and mechanical...
A steel-wire wound reinforced thermoplastic pipe (SWW-RTP) has been widely utilized in many industrial areas, and a soil landslide is an inevitable hazardous extreme condition for the SWW-RTP as it is usually buried underground. It is imperative to s...
The liner of reinforced thermoplastic composite pipes (RTPs) used for oil and gas gathering and transportation experienced blister failure due to gas permeation. Few reports have appeared on the problem of gas permeation in thermoplastics with absorb...
