Download or read book Standard Construction Guidelines for Microtunneling written by and published by Amer Society of Civil Engineers. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Standard Guideline covers the planning, design, pipe materials, and construction of microtunneling. Microtunneling is defined as a trenchless construction method for installing pipelines. The North American definition of microtunneling describes a method and does not impose size limitations on that method. The tunnel may be considered a microtunnel if all of the following features apply to construction: the microtunneling boring machine is remote controlled, a laser guidance system is employed, a jacking system is used for thrust, and continuous pressure is provided to the face of the excavation to balance groundwater and earth pressures. This Standard Guideline is a vital reference for owners, engineers, contractors, and construction managers.

Download or read book Microtunnelling written by Dietrich Stein and published by Wiley-VCH. This book was released on 1989-10-25 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed as a fundamental source of information on the installation and renewal of non-man-size supply and sewage lines by the trenchless construction method, this book describes non-steerable and steerable microtunnelling systems, their ranges of application and relevant operational experience. The text is supplemented by numerous photographs, outline drawings, tables and charts. In-depth knowledge is given on the subjects of design and operation of different types of soil removal systems, measuring and steering techniques, construction of starting and target pits, as well as obstruction removal. Moreover, the presentations cover the special jacking pipes required for microtunnelling, and provide detailed information regarding the relevant stress and strain analyses. It is shown how the trenchless construction method can be used for marking service house connections, and that there are new ways to link up house service lines with shafts or sewers. A comprehensive bibliography rounds off the text

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Specification for Tunnelling has been completely updated to refelct the many significant changes in tunnelling techniques. It is written to be used as a contract specification on its own, or in conjunction with other standard specifications on multi-disciplinary projects. The original Model Specification for Tunnelling was the first document produced for the industry with the specific aim of establishing a common standard for the design and construction of tunnelling in the UK. This new edition continues to draw heavily on the practical experience of both corporate and individual members of the British Tunnelling Society, and provides a sound basis for specifying tunnelling design and construction. This updated specification is a considerable advance on the original, and should continue to be the de facto standard for tunnelling in the UK.
Download or read book Bentonite Handbook written by Steffen Praetorius and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-03-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pipe jacking is a construction process for the no-dig laying of pipes. Successful pipe jacking demands low skin friction between the ground and the jacked pipe. This is achieved with bentonite lubrication. The bentonite slurry fed into the annular gap fulfils several purposes. It stabilises the annular gap by supporting the surrounding ground and reduces friction contact between ground and jacked pipe. The Bentonite Handbook deals comprehensibly with the relevant aspects of annular gap lubrication: starting with the ground conditions, which are of decisive importance for lubrication, through the rheological properties of the bentonite slurry to the technical components of lubrication technology and lubrication strategy. The use of standardised measuring apparatus is described as well as mixing equipment and the automatic lubrication system. Overview tables with calculations and suggested values for bentonite consumption quantities depending on the prevailing ground conditions and the pipe jacking parameters complete the recommendations.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Stein, Dietrich: Hochschulprofessor, 03.11.1938-. Brauer, Ansgar: Bauingenieur, 18.09.1972-. Weitere Angaben Verfasser: Born on 3 November 1938 in Ströbitz/Cottbus and after graduating from the University for Civil Engineering in 1962, University-Prof. Dr.-Ing. D. Stein gathered practical and scientific experience in dam- and storage construction in Dresden, Gersdorf and Berlin. From 1975 to 1977 he gathered university-educational experience at the University for Engineering in Cottbus on the sector of "pre-fabrication and technikum". In 1970 he was awarded a doctorate externally at the University for Transportation "Friedrich List" in Dresden. In 1979, after emigrating to the Federal Republic of Germany, he found another working sphere at the Ruhr-University Bochum, where he was promoted as a professor on the sector of construction method technique in 1981; and in 1991 he was appointed to a professorship for the new teaching sector "pipeline construction, rehabilitation and maintenance", which had been founded by him. The research works supervised by him and the international expert's opinions created as a sworn technical expert deal with the planning, operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of all urban supply and disposal networks in the broadest sense. Since having been given his emeritus status in spring 2004, Prof. Stein now applies himself intensively to his engineering consultant office Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stein & Partner GmbH (www.stein.de), which was founded in 1993. The Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stein & Partner GmbH - in short S & P or Stein & Partner - is an innovation-orientated enterprise. Situated near the Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany), it operates successfully on the sectors of pipeline construction, pipeline maintenance and rehabilitation as well as environmental technology. Among S & P's fields of activity are: engineering (e.g. planning, structural calculation, operation and maintenance concepts, expert reports and consulting), research and development, new media (www.unitracc.de) as well as training and education. More than 150 publications, articles and especially the standard manual "Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Drains and Sewers", which has been published in its third edition, as well as the technical books "The Accessible Utility Tunnel" and "Trenchless Technology for Installation of Cables and Pipelines" prove his international scientific commitment.
