Stephenson D. Pipeline Design for Water Engineers

Elsevier Publishing, 1989, 263 pages, ISBN: 0080870317 0444873732 9780080870311.Developments in Water Science, Volume 40.This classic book contains research in cavitation and flow control, sections on supports to exposed pipes and secondary stress, sections on pipe network systems analysis and optimization.
Pipelines are being constructed i n ever-increasing diameters, lengths and working pressures. Accurate and rational design bases are essential to achieve economic and safe designs. Engineers have for years resorted to semi-empirical design formulae. Much work has recently been done in an effort to rationalize the design of pipelines.
This book collates published material on rational design methods as well as presenting some new techniques and data. Although retaining conventional approaches in many instances, the aim of
the book is to bring the most modern design techniques to the civil or hydraulic engineer. It is suitable as an introduction to the subject but also contains data on the most advanced techniques in the field. i3ecause of the sound theoretical background the book will al so be useful to under-graduate and post-graduate students. Many of the subjects, such as mathematical optimization, are still in their infancy and the book may provide leads for further research. The methods of solution proposed for many problems bear in mind the modern acceptance of computers and calculators and many of the graphs i n the book were prepared with the assistance of computers.
