Profile

Dr. Moore is a Civil Engineer specializing in Geotechnical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Non-linear Soil-structure Interaction, and the Non-linear Mechanics of Shell Structures like pipes interacting with solids such as soil, employing both computational and experimental methods. His work includes research on stability limit states for long-span flexible culverts, buried pipes (concrete, steel, aluminum, polyethylene and PVC), manholes and buried tanks. Recent research includes continued development of design methods for thermoplastic, metal and concrete culverts, assessment of strength of corroded metal (corrugated steel and cast iron) pipes, behaviour of liners used to repair gravity flow and pressure pipelines, soil-pipe interaction during pipe bursting and horizontal directional drilling, behaviour and design of pipe joints and of continuous and jointed pipelines when subjected to differential ground movements.

  • Effect of differential ground motion on gravity flow and pressure pipes.
      • Outline: Most pipe design focusses on the two-dimensional response around the pipe barrel. However, various circumstances arise where differential ground motion along the pipe axis leads to longitudinal bending that can jeopardize the structural capacity of the soil-pipe system. Testing has been used to establish how flexural stiffness of the pipe influences the bending moments that arise where a pipe spans across a normal ground fault, and the performance of plain and corrugated thermoplastic pipes, steel, and glass fibre reinforced polymer pipes under differential ground motion.

  • Effect of erosion voids on performance of gravity flow pipes.
      • Outline: Leakage of pipe joints or perforation due to corrosion or fractures leads to ingress of groundwater which may erode the surrounding backfill. The loss of sidefill has been studied using full scale experiments with erosion voids, as well as finite element analyses. Past work has established that erosion voids compromise the strength of rigid and flexible pipes, as well as the stability of the ground surface above shallow buried structures. Laboratory testing and nonlinear analysis is being used to understand how stability is influenced by erosion voids in the vicinity of the buried sewer pipe, as well as vehicle loads. Testing has also been used to investigate the extent to which grouting restores the structural capacity of the soil-pipe system.

  • Stability of Liners Used to Repair Damaged Culverts, Sewers and Water Pipes.
      • Outline: Polymer liners fitted within damaged sewers respond to external fluid loads, and to changes in earth loads as a result of vehicle loads on the ground surface or deterioration of the backfill in the vicinity of the buried structure. Past work has established the role of damaged pipe and liner geometry on both resistance to buckling under external fluid pressures, and local bending under external earth pressures. Laboratory testing and nonlinear analysis is being used to understand how stability is influenced by erosion voids in the vicinity of the buried sewer pipe, as well as vehicle loads. Limit states have been investigated for water and gas supply pipes repaired using cast in place liners, considering the influence of internal pressure, ground movements and soil-pipe-liner interaction. Work has been conducted examining the strength limit states for sprayed cementitious liners, grouted slip-liners, repair by paving the invert, and cured in place polymer liners. Experiments are being used to collect physical evidence on these limit states, and design models have been and continue to be developed to guide consultants selecting liner thickness and other aspects of the rehabilitation.

  • Ring fractures and condition assessment of in buried cast iron water pipes
    • Outline: Analytical and experimental work is being used to understand stability limit states for buried cast iron pipes responding to frost loads. Thermo-viscoelastic analysis has been developed for HDPE to permit calculation of temperature-induced deformations or stresses. Three dimensional finite element analyses has been used to examine cast iron pipe damage as a result of differential ground movements caused by different levels of frost susceptibility. Fieldwork is linking frost heave at the ground surface measured using Lidar, to location of leaks, and subsequent development of ring fractures. Laboratory assessments are investigating the role of pitting corrosion and other stress concentrations of flexural capacity of pipe segments.

  • Analysis of pipe and culvert coupling systems
      • Outline: Reinforced concrete, vitrified clay, corrugated steel, and thermoplastic pipes used for stormwater sewers, highway culverts and water supply are fitted with a variety of mechanical and pressure rated couplings, and the performance of these joints often controls the service life of these structures. The design of these couplings depends on the interaction of the two pipes, as well as the mechanical coupler and/or rubber gasket. Full scale experiments, finite element analysis, and closed form analysis have been and are being used to explain coupling behaviour, and develop rational design procedures for these systems.
