This book was released on 2022-04-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to predict the structure life time? Really my Ph.D about concrete structure reliability and its probability of failure with considering the corrosion effect. I did also many researches about concrete structure, steel and offshore structures failures and its reliability but this questions raised to me from 10 years in one on my courses in Dubai. From that date I spent many times and collect many researches about how to know the structure remaining life time really it is very complicated questions and different from structure to another. Based on that I published many books about corrosion, structure evaluation, quality control and then my book about assessment evaluation and repair concrete, steel and offshore structures, I try to address this point. The experimental technique and pushover analysis is discussed also. It is very important to highlight that in mature structure if you try to design it or evaluate it will be unsafe. I wish to delete this statement from your mind during evaluation mature structure "UNSAFE", but say it is violating to the existing code but how long it can live until failure that we discuss about it here in this book. For this eBook I focus about answering this question and provide many references can be used also in case for future reading. If you have any inquiry or questions or special case need to discuss let do not hesitate to contact me.

This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of Concrete Repair and Rehabilitation is gaining importance in view of its positive impacts in terms of socio-economic benefits and environmental sustainability. Due to growing importance of this field, many engineering colleges have included the subject of concrete repair and rehabilitation in the senior undergraduate and postgraduate course curriculums of civil engineering. This book is an earnest attempt to help students of civil engineering in enhancing their understanding and awareness about critical elements of repair and rehabilitation of concrete structure. The content is organised in such a way that it fulfils the academic needs of the students. This text attempts to dovetail all important aspects such as causes of distress, assessment and evaluation of deterioration, techniques for repair and rehabilitation along with selection of repair and rehabilitation materials and other important aspects related to preventive maintenance and rehabilitation/structural safety measures. The primary objective of this textbook is to guide students to: • Understand the underlying causes and types of deterioration in concrete structure • Learn about the field and laboratory testing methods available to evaluate the level of deterioration. • Get well acquainted with options of repair materials and techniques available to address different types of distress in concrete structure. • Grasp the knowledge of available techniques and their application for strengthening existing structural systems.

Download or read book An Evaluation of Equipment and Procedures for Tensile Bond Testing of Concrete Repairs written by Alexander M. Vaysburd and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the durability of repaired concrete structures is a primary objective of any repair project, then every effort should be made to ensure adequate bonding between the repair and the existing concrete substrate. A total of 257 partial-depth cores in 77 experimental repairs were tested in Florida, Illinois, and Arizona in order to evaluate the effect of material properties and environmental conditions on the bond between repair and concrete substrate. Three pull-off testing devices were used to determine the bond strengths for each of the experimental repairs. In addition, the testing devices themselves were evaluated by analyzing the magnitude and relative precision of the pull-off strengths, modes of failure, and ease of use in an effort to identify a reliable and practical device for determining in situ tensile bond. The optimum depth of core drilling into the existing substrate was determined by comparing theoretical finite element analysis of failure zone stress distribution with measured test results.

Download or read book Ageing and Life Extension of Offshore Structures written by Gerhard Ersdal and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive overview of managing and assessing safety and functionality of ageing offshore structures and pipelines A significant proportion, estimated at over 50%, of the worldwide infrastructure of offshore structures and pipelines is in a life extension phase and is vulnerable to ageing processes. This book captures the central elements of the management of ageing offshore structures and pipelines in the life extension phase. The book gives an overview of: the relevant ageing processes and hazards; how ageing processes are managed through the life cycle, including an overview of structural integrity management; how an engineer should go about assessing a structure that is to be operated beyond its original design life, and how ageing can be mitigated for safe and effective continued operation. Key Features: Provides an understanding of ageing processes and how these can be mitigated. Applies engineering methods to ensure that existing structures can be operated longer rather than decommissioned unduly prematurely. Helps engineers performing these tasks in both evaluating the existing structures and maintaining ageing structures in a safe manner. The book gives an updated summary of current practice and research on the topic of the management of ageing structures and pipelines in the life extension phase but also meets the needs of structural engineering students and practicing offshore and structural engineers in oil & gas and engineering companies. In addition, it should be of value to regulators of the offshore industry.
