Pipelines Crossing Highways and Railroads by Tunneling
When new pipeline construction requires the crossing of highways and railroads, a pipeline is generally installed in pipe or tunnel linear plate encasement which has been installed by...
Analysis and Design of Direct Burial Sections of San Diego County Water Authority's Pipeline 4 Extension
The pipeline 4 extension is one of the San Diego County Water Authority's Phase I projects that will run for about 13 miles. Majority of this new pipeline will be 96 inch in steel and...
The Load Factor
Spangler's load-factor formula for projecting conduits is generalized to all cases of buried rigid pipe, whether in trenches or under embankments; this is in accordance with the analytical...
Preventing Coating Delamination in Prestressed Concrete Pipe
This paper describes the results of experimental and analytical studies of mortar coating delamination of prestressed of concrete cylinder pipe. Coating delamination resulting from radial...
Standard Installations: A Synopsis of the ASCE Standard Practice for Direct Design of Buried Precast Concrete Pipe
In 1970, the American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA) began a long range research program which focused on the behavior of buried concrete pipe. The research resulted in the comprehensive...
Microtunneling of Vitrified Clay Pipe in the United States
Vitrified clay pipe (VCP) has been used for centuries to convey waste water away for cities. In Europe and Japan, VCP has been used in the microtunnelling process for longer than 10 years....
Chemical Resistance of Thermosetting Resins Used for Cured-in-Place Pipe
This paper summarizes the chemistry, short term physical properties, and long term chemical resistance for representative epoxy vinyl ester, epoxy, and polyester resins that are currently...
Rehabilitation/Upgrading of Under-Rated or Deteriorating Single or Multi-Span Structures Using Corrugated Steel Pipe, Tunnel Liner Plate or Structural Plate
This paper cites advantages of the rehabilitation/upgrading of under-rated or deteriorating culverts or bridges using corrugated steel pipe, tunnel liner plate or structural plate. Among...
European Way of Standardization in the Field of Underground Pipe Renovation
European standardization is carried out within the framework of CEN (European Committee for Standardization). The development of standards for underground pipe renovation is taking place...
Television and Scanning Sonar in Seattle Metro's Siphons and Brick Sewers
Comprehensive and often costly investigations are required in order to identify performance deficiencies of the pipeline in sewer systems, particularly when sewers in excess of 48-inch...
Infrastructure Damage Modeling with GIS
This paper describes the use of a geographic information system to model damage to a municipal water distribution system. In a demonstration application detailed attribute data on components...
Detecting Leaks in Geomembranes
A field-tested leak-location survey, now commercially-available, can provide construction quality assurance or solve a leakage problem in lined landfills, impoundments or tanks. A liner...

Pin Piles Save Silos
The United Grain Corp. annually ships about 200 million bushels of wheat and other grains to destinations around the world from its leased facility on the Columbia River at Vancouver,...
Drilling with Direction
Norfolk, Va.'s 48 in. diameter raw water main crosses three rivers in its 52,000 ft route. At the Elizabeth River, an aerial or subaqueous crossing was not feasible, so a...
Trenchless Track Record
Ottawa is a leading user of trenchless technology for sewer rehabilitation projects. The municipality has nearly a decade's worth of experience with at least nine different...
Evaluation of Dilatometer Method to Determine Axial Capacity of Driven Model Pipe Piles in Clay
The flat Dilatometer (DMT) provides a unique approach to estimate the effective stress axial capacity of driven displacement piles in clay. An investigation using this approach was performed...
Piles for Marquette University Math Building
This paper presents a comparison of static pile capacity predictions using CPT cone resistance results with results of a test pile program and production pile driving. Pile capacity prediction...
3-D Deformation Analysis of Pile Groups During Wave Loading
Deformation predictions of pile group supporting one leg of Magnus platform were conducted using the 3-D nonlinear computer program SPLICE (Structure/Pile/Soil Interaction Analysis) and...
Evaluation and Monitoring of Pile Performance Using Dynamic Measurements in Supporting Offshore Structures
The installation of offshore platforms into deeper waters and new environments is accompanied by an increasing uncertainty in the structure response, foundation design and performance....
