Reliability of Exposed Pipelines at Water Crossings

A probabilistic approach was developed to assess the reliability of exposed river crossings due to third-party activities and natural hazards.  The approach considers pipeline failures due to denting, puncture, local buckling, and yielding related to bending and axial tension.
