Case Histories of Sulfide Corrosion
Section 522 of the Water Quality Act of 1987 requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct a study of sulfide corrosion and control options in collection and treatment...
Status of Integrated Performance Assessment of the Waste Packages and Engineered Barrier System
Performance assessment of the engineered barrier system for a nuclear waste repository combines information from relevant disciplines and predicts the net long-term performance of the...
?4C Release From Failed Spent Fuel Containers
Partially failed containers may provide a meaningful barrier to the release of gaseous radionuclides. A modeling approach is outlined and sample calculations are provided that show the...
Feasibility of Class C FRP Load Transfer Devices for Highway Jointed Concrete Pavements
The objective of this paper is to analyze the feasibility of using corrosion free fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) devices in lieu of steel tie bars in the longitudinal joints of highway...
Grouting Slip Liners: The New Inside Story
There are approximately 800,000 miles of water and sewer pipelines in the U.S. that need remedial work. About 2% need work each year, usually due to normal or accidental corrosion. Normal...
Industry Faces the Parking Problem
Parking structures are deteriorating; no land is available for new facilities; and employees have no other options for parking. The situation is a serious one, verging on disaster for...
Assessment of Conductors
This paper deals with the mechanical integrity of conductors after several years in service and discusses current innovative conductor designs which benefit the structural designer working...
Fatigue Strength of Corroded Rolled Beams
Highway and railway bridges fabricated from ASTM A7, A36, and A572 steels will corrode if the paint system is allowed to fail for lack of maintenance. Corroding members lose cross section...
Sulfide in Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems
ASCE Manual 69, Manual of Practice on Sulfide in Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems, is intended to help planners, designers, and operators of wastewater facilities understand...
Conducting a Waterline Corrosion Evaluation
A study has been conducted to determine the level of corrosion activity occuring on the U.S. Navy's potable waterlines on Guam. The study evaluated soil parameters including...
Parking Garage Crisis
Corrosion in reinforced concrete parking garages is reaching crisis proportions. The rehabilitation market for these structures is estimated to be as much as $750 million a year, or 30%...
Unbonded Performance
Unbonded single strand tendons have been used in the U.S. for about 30 years. In a small number of buildings, strand corrosion failures have occurred. Although it is clear that post-tensioning...
Fretting Corrosion on Large Split Thrust Bearing Runners
In the early fifties interfacial slip was measured on laboratory models. Design improvements, resulting from these tests, were incorporated into later machines. These improvements appreciably...
Lead: Taking it from the Tap
Medical evidence is lowering the definition of a safe concentration of lead. In turn, there has been an effort to reduce lead in drinking water. Solutions are complicated, as many lead...
Building the Seven Seas
The Brookfield Zoo's Seven Seas Complex, outside of Chicago, is a combination of the Caribbean and the Pacific Northwest. Completed in May 1987, the Seven Seas Complex consists...
Corrosion Monitoring of Critical Service Pipelines
Corrosion, including microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), is receiving much attention as a significant piping material performance concern particularly for critical service pipelines...
Design of Ductile Iron Pipe Systems
To ensure a reliable, low maintenance infrastructure capable of withstanding the test of time, proper initial design is essential. The basis of the design standard for ductile iron pipe...
Pipeline Infrastructure Rehabilitation
A significant amount of technological development has occurred during the past ten (10) years regarding the actual rehabilitation methods, or reconstruction procedures on the decaying...
Cables in Trouble
Having inspected more than half of the world's cable stayed bridges, the authors conclude that many are in danger of sudden collapse unless corrosion problems can be stopped....
Weathering Steel: Industry's Stepchild
Improper location and poor detailing are two reasons why some weathering steel bridges are not living up to their early promise. That was the consensus reached during a July 1988 forum...
