Quantifying Variable Importance in Predicting Critical Span Length and Scour Depth for Failure of Onshore River Crossing Pipelines Using ANN
Onshore oil and gas pipelines are often buried beneath the river bed and channel banks. One of the primary reasons for the exposure of buried pipelines is the scouring mechanism that occurs when shear stress induced on riverbed by flowing water exceeds the resistance of channel bed material. Dependi...
