Effect of the number of broken wire wraps on the structural performance of PCCP with full interaction at the gasket joint by Hajali, M.

“…A 244-cm (96-in.) embedded cylinder pipe (ECP) is modeled with 5, 35, 70, and 100 broken wire wraps. The results obtained show that the internal fluid pressure required to cause failure can be as much as 14% lower when the damage is at the joint, and that the internal pressure that causes yielding of the wire wraps decreases approximately 65% as the severity of the damage increases from 5 to 100 broken wires.…”
