Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To improve structural efficiency of multi-span simply supported bridges, partial and/or full continuity is provided through cast- in-place concrete diaphragms and decks. These bridges, known as Simple-Span Precast Prestressed Bridge Girders Made Continuous, are continuous for live loads. This continuity connection is also beneficial from maintenance point of view by eliminating open joints. However, continuity connections also have their own structural, construction, and maintenance shortcomings. Development of positive moments and diaphragm cracking at the internal pier due to time dependent effects of prestressing is a major structural problem that also affects bridge durability and esthetics. Another issue is that due to reinforcement congestion joint construction is time consuming and thus expensive. Furthermore, the degree of continuity varies depending on structural and construction conditions. These problems are common to various design details used by many states in the US.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Possibly the most pressing need in highway construction today is the repair or replacement of existing bridges. Due to increased needs and growing traffic, in addition to aging and extensive use, more than 2000 bridges in Kansas alone need to be replaced during the next decade. The majority of these bridges has spans of 100 ft or less, and has relatively shallow profiles. It is becoming increasingly important to implement a standard method for replacement in which the process is expedited and accomplished in cost-effective manner. Requirements for design and construction of concrete bridges have drastically changed during recent years. A main change in design is live-load requirements. Nebraska inverted-T bridge system has gained increasing popularity for its lower weight compared to I-girder bridges. However, there are some limiting issues when using IT system in replacing existing CIP bridges. Implementation of a post-tensioned IT system, which is the focus of this research, is believed to be one excellent solution for the IT deficiencies. Post-tensioning is added by placing a draped, post-tensioning duct in the stems of the IT members. Post-tensioning will lead to a higher span-to-depth ratio than IT system, and will reduce the potential transverse cracks in the (CIP) deck. Finally, the undesired cambers of pretensioned beams will be reduced, because fewer initial prestressing will be needed. This study was intended to explore the behavior of the PT-IT system, identify major parameters that control and limit the design of this system, and investigate different construction scenarios. This was achieved by conducting an extensive parametric study. For that purpose, PT-IT analysis program was developed and written using C++ programming language. The program was used to analyze various post-tensioning procedures for the post-tensioned inverted-T system. A Visual Basic friendly interface was provided to simplify the data input process. The findings of this research included recommendation of construction scenario for PT-IT system, as well as examining different methods for estimating time-dependent restraining moments. Effect of different concrete strengths on the behavior of PT-IT system was also determined. Most importantly, the effect of timing on different construction stages was also evaluated and determined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion is a naturally occurring cost, worth billions in the oil and gas sector. New regulations, stiffer penalties for non-compliance and aging assets are all leading companies to develop new technology, procedures and bigger budgets catering to one prevailing method of prevention, cathodic protection. Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems: A Guide for Oil and Gas Industries trains on all the necessary reports, inspection criteria, corrective measures and critical standards needed on various oil and gas equipment, structures, tanks, and pipelines. Demands in the cathodic protection market have driven development for better devices and methods, helping to prolong the equipment and pipeline's life and integrity. Going beyond just looking for leaks, this handbook gives the engineer and manager all the necessary tools needed to put together a safe cathodic protection system, whether it is for buried casing while drilling, offshore structures or submarine pipelines. - Understand how to install, inspect and engage the right cathodic protection systems for various oil and gas equipment, tanks, and pipelines - Properly construct the right procedure and anodes with all relevant US and International standards that apply - Gain knowledge concerning techniques, equipment, measurements and test methods used in real-world field scenarios
