In Rehab We Trust
Glulam structures will be durable and last for a long time provided structural elements are protected from water and moisture. Once water is allowed to come into direct contact with glulam...
America's Pavements: World's Longest Bathtubs
Pavements are the most unusual structures designed by civil engineers. Water flows through their tops, bottoms and sides but because pavements are relatively flat, flows out again very...

Focusing on Fatigue
Properly designed and maintained bridges sometimes need repair for fatigue damage. Among the reasons may be that the bridge was designed before current fatigue design provisions, or initial...
Dredging '94
During the past decade, the discipline of dredging has been challenged in the areas of economics, the environment, and management of dredging projects. Dredging has kept pace with its...

Probing the Port of Los Angeles
Geotechnical investigations can uncover nasty surprises. When conducted after the preliminary design, the results can force significant and costly changes or�even worse�lengthy delays....
Questioning Composites
Steel, concrete and timber are, of course, the most commonly used construction materials. Composites, or fiber reinforced plastics, have been used in specialty applications in construction...

The French Composite: A Bridge for Normandy
Aside from its record breaking 856 m span, the most important fact about France's 2,141 m Pont de Normandie�the Normandy Bridge�is that it is being built at all. The bridge...
Design and Uses of Reinforced Shotcrete in Underground Projects in Canada
The first use of steel fibre reinforced shotcrete (SFRS) in Canada was using the wet-mix process in the support of deteriorated ground in 80 year old railway tunnels in the Fraser Canyon,...
Technical Note: STC-40 Shotcrete Adhesion In Situ Tester
It is essential that the shotcrete when reinforcing the rock mass achieves a good adhesive bond to the rock surface. The strength of that bond can be controlled by pull out testing either...
Development of Mechanized Wet Mix Shotcrete Application in Norwegian Tunnelling Industry
From 1971 to 1980 wet mix shotcrete won the Norwegian market 100%. In the same period hand held spraying was replaced by hydraulic manipulators. From 1980 to 1986, steel fibre use increased...
Wet Mix Shotcrete Used in Subsea Tunnel Environments
To reject the claim that the use of accelerator in shotcrete reduces the compressive strength with time, lately cored samples were taken from an 18 to 19 years old concrete. A wet mixed...
