Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in the area of culvert hydraulics has centered on concrete box culverts and circular corrugated metal pipe culverts. The hydraulic analyses of these culvert types have been well defined for conventional installations, but not for environmentally sensitive and nontraditional culverts. It is desirable to design and construct some culvert crossings to minimize their impact on the natural environment. Culverts are now being designed to maintain natural velocities and minimize turbulence to allow migratory species to pass through the culvert barrel. Such designs may add baffles on the invert, bury the culvert invert, or use bottomless culverts to provide for a natural stream invert. Other designs use larger and wider culverts to reduce the amount of contraction and acceleration.
Download or read book Practical Channel Hydraulics 2nd edition written by Donald W. Knight and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Channel Hydraulics is a technical guide for estimating flood water levels in rivers using the innovative software known as the Conveyance and Afflux Estimation System (CES-AES). The stand alone software is freely available at HR Wallingford’s website www.river-conveyance.net. The conveyance engine has also been embedded within industry standard river modelling software such as InfoWorks RS and Flood Modeller Pro. This 2nd Edition has been greatly expanded through the addition of Chapters 6-8, which now supply the background to the Shiono and Knight Method (SKM), upon which the CES-AES is largely based. With the need to estimate river levels more accurately, computational methods are now frequently embedded in flood risk management procedures, as for example in ISO 18320 (‘Determination of the stage-discharge relationship’), in which both the SKM and CES feature. The CES-AES incorporates five main components: A Roughness Adviser, A Conveyance Generator, an Uncertainty Estimator, a Backwater Module and an Afflux Estimator. The SKM provides an alternative approach, solving the governing equation analytically or numerically using Excel, or with the short FORTRAN program provided. Special attention is paid to calculating the distributions of boundary shear stress distributions in channels of different shape, and to appropriate formulations for resistance and drag forces, including those on trees in floodplains. Worked examples are given for flows in a wide range of channel types (size, shape, cover, sinuosity), ranging from small scale laboratory flumes (Q = 2.0 1s-1) to European rivers (~2,000 m3s-1), and large-scale world rivers (> 23,000 m3s-1), a ~ 107 range in discharge. Sites from rivers in the UK, France, China, New Zealand and Ecuador are considered. Topics are introduced initially at a simplified level, and get progressively more complex in later chapters. This book is intended for post graduate level students and practising engineers or hydrologists engaged in flood risk management, as well as those who may simply just wish to learn more about modelling flows in rivers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Civil Function Structure and Industrial Architecture contains the Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Civil Function Structure and Industrial Architecture (CFSIA 2022), which was held on January 21-23, 2022, in Harbin, China. The Proceedings of CFSIA 2022 is intended to share scientific research results and cutting-edge technologies in the field of civil function structure and control engineering. Researchers, practitioners and academics in these disciplines will find the book useful. Over 90 papers are featured. Many topics are covered, but the contributions may be seen to fall into one of six broad themes of the conference, namely: (i) Engineering Structure (Engineering Advanced Technology, Engineering Structure and Seismic Resistance, High-rise Building and Large-span Structure, Bridge Engineering, Special Structure, Construction Technology, Monitoring and Control of Structure, Cartography and GIS, Concrete Structure, Construction and Control, etc.); (ii) Intelligent Building (Predictive Maintenance, Converged Networks, Wireless Retrofit, Biometric Integration, Computer Management System Engineering, Building Equipment Automatic Control System Engineering, etc.); (iii) Smart City (Intelligent Construction, Intelligent Transportation, Risk Management and Decision Making for Intelligent Construction, Intelligent Building Automation Control System, etc.); (iv) Structural Seismic Resistance (Structural Seismic Design, Earthquakes and Ground Motions, Building Site, Foundation and Basis, Principles of Structural Seismic Design Calculation, Seismic Shear Adjustment and Minimum Seismic Shear Requirements, etc.); (v) Monitoring and Testing (Steel Structure Stress Monitoring, Stress Change Monitoring for Large Construction Projects, Structural Health Monitoring, Foundation Pit Monitoring, Temperature Monitoring for Large Volume Concrete Pouring, etc.); (vi) Engineering Facility (Machinery Facility, Electrical Facility, Stationary Facility, Non-standard Facility, Compressor, Continuous Transmission Facility, etc.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drainage infrastructure systems (culvert, storm sewer, outfall and related drainage elements) are mostly buried underground and are in need of special attention in terms of proactive/preventive asset management strategy. Drainage infrastructure systems represent an integral portion of roadway assets that routinely require inspection, maintenance, repair and renewal. Further challenges are the wide geospatial distribution of these infrastructure assets and environmental exposure. There has been considerable research conducted on culverts, but mostly looked at the problem from a traditional structural/geotechnical perspective. Asset management procedures for culverts and drainage infrastructure systems are complex issues, and can benefit a great deal from an optimal asset management program that draws from programs pertaining to buried pipes. The first and most important step in an asset management initiative is the establishment of mechanism for asset inventory and asset conditions in a format compatible with the routine procedures of field operators and inspectors. The first objective of this research project was to develop field protocols and operational business rules for inventory data collection and management and inspection of drainage infrastructures in terms of types of data to be collected, frequency of inspection, and analysis and reporting mechanisms. After review of these protocols by the project oversight committee, a pilot study was conducted to verify efficiency of their implementation. The condition assessment protocol introduced is useful in evaluating the overall condition of culverts and can be used for decision making regarding the repair, renewal or replacement of culverts. For the second objective of this project, investigators examined the inventory and inspection protocols employed by Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and developed a decision support platform, which establishes a link between the inspection results and appropriate repair, renewal and replacement procedures. After applying the recommended procedures, the transportation agencies can better track the conditions of culverts thereby reducing the risks of culvert failures.

Book excerpt: An existing 37 year old, 15.67 ft. span, 9.58 ft. rise structural plate pipe arch culvert installed in cohesive backfill material was instrumented with biaxial electric strain gages and position transducers and loaded with two hydraulic cylinders, simulating live load from the rear axle of a vehicle. The loads were positioned above the crown point of the pipe and increased in increments until moderate degree of structural failure was observed.
