The Ivie Pipeline Delivering Water to West Texas
The Ivie Pipeline is a $76,000,000 - 156-mile long water pipeline being constructed in West Texas. This paper describes highlights of the planning, design, and construction phase....

An Evaluation of Fiberglass Pipe Made by Three Different Manufacturing Processes for use in Water Transmission Projects
Fiberglass pipe is made primarily using continuous filament wound process, discontinuous helical filament wound process, and centrifugal cast process. Some 40 countries around the world...

Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Pressure Pipe Diagnosis
Prestressed and reinforced concrete steel cylinder pipes are used for transmission mains, water intake lines, sewers force mains. Many collapses caused by the steel cylinder attack were...

Selection and use of Pipeline Leak Detection Methods for Liability Management into the 21st Century
Pipeline leak detection systems have been in use for many years on all types of pipelines with various products being transported. Pipeline owners and operators are subject to stringent...

Relocating a 54-Inch Diameter Force Main without Interrupting Wastewater Flow
The City of Tampa, Florida, was faced with the challenge of relocating three segments of an old 1372 mm (54-in.) diameter reinforced concrete pipe force main, totaling nearly a mile in...

Gas Pipeline Fitness-for-Service Investigation
A delta reclamation district's plan to add significant fill on their levee caused great concern for the integrity of a critical PG&E 22-inch (559 mm) gas transmission line which...

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...

Controlling Corrosion in Bridge Structures
The overall objectives of the Structures Research Area of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) were to provide methods to protect chloride-contaminated concrete components against...

Gyratory Testing Machine Usage in Monitoring HMA Quality
This paper describes research conducted by the Mississippi Department of Transportation to investigate the potential of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Gyratory Testing Machine (GTM)...

Cost-Effective Pavement Repair Materials
In 1990, as part of the Strategic Highway Research Program's (SHRP) initiative in the highway operations area, a 2 1/2 -year research effort was initiated to study the cost-effectiveness...

Pavement Repair Automation
Faced with aging and decaying road systems, continual downsizing of government staffs and increasing budget shortfalls, roadway maintenance needs some help. That help is on the way. It's...

Electrochemical Treatment and Protection: Lessons Learned
Corrosion is recognized today as one of the major contributors to the deterioration of steel reinforced concrete structures. Two electrochemical techniques, chloride removal and cathodic...

Concrete Bridge Protection Repair & Rehabilitation
A methodology for the selection of cost effective solution(s) to the protection, repair, and rehabilitation of concrete bridges in chloride-laden environments is presented. The methodology...
