Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for this project originated with Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) plans to widen and replace a number of bridges along Route I-95. Many of the bridge decks in the new facilities will be in the shade, which will increase the probability that maintenance crews will have to respond to icy conditions. Various anti-icing technologies have shown promise, but most still require personnel to travel to the site of icing problems to treat them. Fixed automatic spray technology (FAST) is an exception. FAST is the application of a liquid chemical freezing-point depressant using an in-place, mechanical, spray system The purpose of this study was to evaluate the automatic anti-icing spray technology for bridge decks and become familiar with the construction, maintenance, and operations issues involved with such systems. The study evaluates a number of design options for delivery of a liquid chemical to the deck to determine the effectiveness of the options. For the purposes of this report, effectiveness is defined in terms of timeliness of operation, appropriateness of response, achievement of desired results, and a benefit-cost ratio greater than 1. The report recommends that VDOT consider FAST an option for initial delivery of deicing chemicals to road and bridge travel lanes and develop criteria for prioritizing FAST installations that consider savings for reduced accidents and congestion. Recommendations are also made for nozzle and surface sensor design and location based on lessons learned from the pilot project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the results of a 27 month analytical and test program to investigate the use of heat pipes and renewable energy sources (specifically earth heat) to avoid the preferential freezing of highway bridge decks. Based on computer simulations of typical preferential icing events (days), a single system design is recommended for most U.S. locations. This design consists of nominal 0.5 inch heat pipes at the slab mid-plane, on 23 cm centers, connected to nominal 2 inch heat pipes in the ground via a pumped fluid loop, with 1 m of earth heat pipe provided for every 0.3 m2 of bridge deck. The report also provides preliminary assessment of the design requirements and costs of an alternate, solar collector design; it concludes that the solar collector design may offer economic advantages over the earth heat pipe system, and thus should be investigated further.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life-Cycle of Structures and Infrastructure Systems contains the lectures and papers presented at IALCCE 2023- The Eighth International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering, held at Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, 2-6 July, 2023. This book contains the full papers of 514 contributions presented at IALCCE 2023, including the Fazlur R. Khan Plenary Lecture, nine Keynote Lectures, and 504 technical papers from 45 countries. The papers cover recent advances and cutting-edge research in the field of life-cycle civil engineering, including emerging concepts and innovative applications related to life-cycle design, assessment, inspection, monitoring, repair, maintenance, rehabilitation, and management of structures and infrastructure systems under uncertainty. Major topics covered include life-cycle safety, reliability, risk, resilience and sustainability, life-cycle damaging processes, life-cycle design and assessment, life-cycle inspection and monitoring, life-cycle maintenance and management, life-cycle performance of special structures, life-cycle cost of structures and infrastructure systems, and life-cycle-oriented computational tools, among others. This Open Access Book provides both an up-to-date overview of the field of life-cycle civil engineering and significant contributions to the process of making more rational decisions to mitigate the life-cycle risk and improve the life-cycle reliability, resilience, and sustainability of structures and infrastructure systems exposed to multiple natural and human-made hazards in a changing climate. It will serve as a valuable reference to all concerned with life-cycle of civil engineering systems, including students, researchers, practicioners, consultants, contractors, decision makers, and representatives of managing bodies and public authorities from all branches of civil engineering.
