Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT (con't): The results indicate that in the perception of the respondents, building inspectors could improve their performance regarding concrete reinforcing inspections. Some suggestions for improvement were discussed and include the following: devoting some of the continuing education hours required for re-certification to coursework involving concrete reinforcing placement methods and designs, developing and implementing a specific inspection checklist, increasing the time devoted for each inspection, and enacting field experience requirements similar to current on-the-job training minimums that journeyman apprenticeship programs currently follow.

Download or read book Means Facilities Maintenance Standards written by Roger W. Liska and published by RSMeans. This book was released on 1988-03-31 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Answers virtually any question about facilities maintenance and repair — helps you head off serious problems before they happen! The importance of this reference to facilities managers, professionals and architects. An effective maintenance program is the only answer to lengthening the life and value of investments in buildings and related facilities. Defects, however, are seldom detected before they become obvious. When this happens, repairs must be made on a rush basis, at high cost. The result is that unbudgeted expenses must be paid, and at worst, the facility is put out of service while repairs are made — often for extended periods of time. Means Facilities Maintenance Standards is oriented toward locating deterioration and material and systems failures before they become serious. Special attention is given to the causes and correction or repair of both common and uncommon defects. Because many maintenance problems and material failures are related to engineering and design decisions, the book is an invaluable aid to architects, engineers and designers as well as facilities professionals. Unique features of this one-of-a-kind working guide for facilities maintenance comprehensive guidance for understanding and solving every imaginable maintenance problem ready-to-use forms, checklists, worksheets and comparison tables authoritative commentary explains what to do — and why analysis of materials systems, and the "why's" of deterioration and wear concise help for planning, scheduling and controlling costs for maintenance guidance for estimating maintenance and repair costs with man-hours, equipment and tools Means Facilities Maintenance Standards — planned and written to solve today's building and facilities maintenance problems Here is a full-range facilities maintenance expertise, tightly written, contemporary and thoroughly relevant to you as a facilities professional. Every area of modern maintenance and repair is put under a magnifying glass for you... materials behavior and deterioration... major structural decay... interior and exterior finishes... managing the work... estimating costs... planning and scheduling. Means Facilities Maintenance Standards is an extremely valuable, working encyclopedia that points the way to solutions to every kind of maintenance and repair dilemma. A comprehensive overview of the facilities management process. Through a program of planned steps incorporating a process of elimination, almost any maintenance problem can be remedied at a reasonable cost. The book steps you through a complete understanding of the underlying causes of wear and deterioration and shows you how to analyze the effects. Only then are you ready to proceed to the right repair solutions, and ultimately, the prevention of future trouble. Because all of the checklists in Means Facilities Maintenance Standards are organized in the order you need them, you'll never have to worry about overlooking an important consideration or crucial step in repairs. An entire section of this monumental work is devoted to the management of facilities operations. If you're at all uncertain about planning, estimating or scheduling work, these three chapters will bring you right up to speed — in a hurry!

This book was released on 1995 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to research, specifications, materials, design, and construction engineers; contract and specification administrators; agency project managers and staff; and concrete bridge deck construction contractors. This synthesis describes the state of the practice with respect to the development and present status of waterproofing membranes for concrete bridge decks. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the use of waterproofing systems applied to new bridge decks and the rehabilitation of deteriorated concrete bridge decks. In addition, this synthesis describes current practice with regard to methods for assessing the effectiveness of membranes, criteria for use, installation practices, and factors that affect the performance of waterproofing systems in new construction and rehabilitation. Suggestions for future research are also included.

Download or read book A Procedure for Load Rating Reinforced Concrete Slab Bridges Without Plans written by Alain Michael Cuaron and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridges without plans are a problem in the state of New Mexico since standard bridge load rating techniques cannot be used due to the lack of design plans and documentation that contains the required information such as the amount and location of the reinforcement. A research project was conducted for the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) to provide an effective method to load rate reinforced concrete slab bridges without plans using both structural analysis and non-destructive experimental techniques. This thesis presents the evaluation of two simple-span and two continuous-span reinforced concrete slab bridges. Bridge 8486 is a simple-span reinforced concrete slab bridge located in Albuquerque, NM. The bridge was built in 1984. According to the most current bridge inspection report for the bridge, the bridge had a satisfactory condition rating for the deck and superstructure and a good condition rating for the substructure. The bottom reinforcement layout was determined using a Hilti Ferroscan along with an AASHTO-based required steel area estimate while the material properties were determined based on the age of the bridge. The final load ratings from an AASHTOWare BrR analysis show that Bridge 8486 is capable of carrying an HS-20 vehicle safely. Bridge 8282 is a simple-span reinforced concrete slab that was built in 1976. The bridge is located in Albuquerque, NM. The bridge has a satisfactory condition rating for the deck and superstructure while the substructure was given a fair condition rating based on the most current bridge inspection report. The bottom reinforcement layout and material properties were estimated similarly to Bridge 8486. The final BrR load ratings show that the bridge has a load carrying capacity that can safely carry an HS-20 vehicle. Bridge 8827 is a three-span continuous reinforced concrete slab bridge. The bridge was built in 1991 in Albuquerque, NM. The deck, superstructure and substructure were given a fair condition rating in the most current bridge inspection report. Like Bridge 8486 and Bridge 8282, the bottom reinforcement was estimated using a Hilti Ferroscan, however, the scanner did not provide enough data to estimate the top reinforcement layout. Therefore, the top reinforcement layout was estimated using a combination of AASHTO, a top to bottom steel area ratio assumption (i.e., steel area for the top of the slab above the pier is 10% larger than the bottom steel area at midspan), and the Hilti Ferroscan results. Based on the final BrR load ratings, the bridge can carry an HS-20 vehicle safely. Bridge 7489 is a two-span continuous reinforced concrete slab bridge. The bridge was built in 1964 in Albuquerque, NM. The bridge had satisfactory condition ratings for the deck, superstructure, and substructure. The bottom and top reinforcement layout were estimated using the Hilti Ferroscan along with the required steel area estimation following AASHTO. The bridge load rating from BrR showed that the bridge could carry an HS-20 vehicle.
