Longitudinal Stresses in Buried Pipes
Longitudinal stresses are inevitable in buried pipes even in pipes with gasketed joints. Longitudinal stresses in any pipe section are cumulative. They include stresses due to soil friction...
KEMCOR?A Chemical and Corrosion Resistant Piping System
KEMCOR is a new underground composite pipe system designed for chemical process use in such industries which require a high degree of corrosion resistance to varying concentrations and...
Successful Use of Centrifugally Cast Glassfiber Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Pressure Pipes for Public Works in Sweden
Centrifugally cast GRP pipes were introduced in Sweden 17 years ago for industrial applications mainly as a gravity pipe. The process of pipe manufacturing as well as the pipe itself and...
Buckling of Flexibly-Joined Simple Frames
A nonlinear analysis of plane elastic frames is presented. The static loading consists of both eccentric concentrated loads (near the joints) and uniformly distributed loads on all or...
Flexibility of Steel Seismic Moment Connections
Relevant Berkeley experimental results are critically evaluated to determine the flexibility of W18 W24 beam joints with and without stiffeners and/or doubler plates. The paper discusses...
Wall/Floor-Slab Interaction in Brickwork Structures
The paper summarises the results of three series of tests on sections of brickwork structure carried out with a view to determining the characteristics of wall/floor slab joints in terms...
A Space Frame Forecast
New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center has the largest space frame of its kind in the world. There are several unique design features in the space frame, among...
Golillas Dam?Design, Construction and Performance
Golillas Dam is a concrete face, gravel fill dam, 125 m (410 ft) high built seven years ago that has had some difficulties during its initial operating years; due to the shape of the canyon,...
You Need More Than a Plumber's Helper
Maintenance of subsurface drains may be the least understood and most neglected of all maintenance activities carried out by irrigation districts. Few irrigation districts have a maintenance...
Connection Flexibility and Steel Frames
The papers included in this book introduce and present methodologies for the analysis and design of frames which take into account the effect of joint flexibility on the response characteristics...
Jointless Bridge Decks
Deck joints in a bridge are the source of many problems over its lifetime. In time, chances are good the joint will leak, permitting water and salt to leak through. Often this leads to...
Watertightness and Seepage Control in Roller Compacted Concrete Dams
An unjointed mass of roller compacted concrete (RCC) can easily be proportioned and compacted so that it is essentially impermeable and 'watertight. ' Permeability tests of various field-placed...
Determining Rockbolt Requirement from Keyblock Simulation
Repair�Don't Replace�Cracked Sewer Pipe
Approximately 0.5 mile (0.8 km) of 42 in. (1,07 m) diameter reinforced concrete was installed for a sanitary sewer project when the on site inspector discovered that numerous joints had...
The Use of Joint Reinforcement in Qualifying Masonry Walls in Nuclear Power Plants
Wire joint reinforcement has been traditionally used in block masonry walls for crack control and to provide continuity for multiple wythe walls. In a number of nuclear power plants, vertically...
