Reliability Study Examines Slow Crack Growth and Burial Design Impact on HDPE Pipelines

A new reliability study from Universidad Nacional de Colombia analyzes how slow crack growth (SCG) and burial design variables—such as soil class, depth of cover, and trench width—affect the long-term performance of HDPE pipelines. Using Monte Carlo simulations and machine learning, researchers identify key factors influencing pipeline failure risk.
