| dc.description.abstract | This project gives information for the failure distribution of water supply main which is buried in susceptible areas of expansive soil of Addis Ababa and comparing with the area of non-expansive soil. It is known that the water supply line has several reasons to fail. External load exerted on the pipe, due to age, soil pressure, construction work along the line and internal pressure are among others. However, the concern of this project is the failure due to pressure. According to Addis Ababa Water and Sewerage Authority (AAWSA) failure data, if there is a failure and has no reason, then the failure data has been recorded as failure due to pressure. Therefore, in this study an attempt was made to assess the failure data and the failure comparison to understand the cause for failure of water main in area of Expansive soils of Addis Ababa. | en_US |
