It should be emphasized that capital cost estimates using installation factors are at best crude and at worst highly misleading. When preparing such an estimate, the designer spends most of the time on the equipment costs, which represent typically 20 to 40 percent of the total installed cost. The bulk costs (civil engineering, labor, etc.) are factored costs which lack definition. At best, this type of estimate can be expected to be accurate to 30 percent. [Pg.417]

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion that law underlies this extraordinarily tunny and witty book (Stephen Potter in the Sunday Times) which also makes some painfully serious points for those in business or the Civil Service. [Pg.445]

There is finally another type of jet fuel somewhat heavier and less volatile than TRO, which allows safe storage on aircraft carriers. This is the TR5 or JP5. Among these products, TRO or Jet Al have the most widespread acceptance because they are used for almost all the world s civil aviation fleet. The information that follows will concern essentially TRO, and very rarely TR4. [Pg.226]

Civil aviation gasoline corresponds to the grade, 100/130 it is still called 100 LL (LL signifies Low Lead) because of its low lead content of 0.56 g/1 compared to military gasolines of the 115/145 type which can contain as much as 1.28 g/1. [Pg.232]

Waterproofing, whether it has to do with protecting civil engineering structures or roofs or terraces. Poured asphalt, often placed in layers with kraft paper, oxidized bitumen or modified bitumen can be used, generally with copolymer. The modified bitumen are used for the making prefabricated multi-layer waterproofing composites. [Pg.289]

The performance of the classifier has been verified using a number of practical applications, such as civil engineering [3], inspection of aerospace composite structures, ball bearings and aircraft multi-layer structures. Here we present shortly some results, focusing on detection of disbonds in adhesively joint multi-layer aerospace structures using Fokker Bond Tester resonance instrument, details can be found in [1]. [Pg.107]

There remains a great deal of work to be done before NDE in Civil Engineering ean reaeh the technological standards and level of sophistication which is found in established and traditional NDE-branches. There are NDE- methods presently available, however, which are reliable and which can be put to practical use on site, but their potential is not being fully exploited. [Pg.996]

Recent conferences held on the subject of NDE in Civil Engineering, e.g. NDE-CE 1993,... [Pg.998]

As for radiography it seems that the lack of attention is due to a combination of trends and fashion, coupled to a general unawareness of this technique amongst the civil engineering community. [Pg.999]

A list from experience of typical and most common inspection requirements in civil engineering in reeent years and the methods applied is given below ... [Pg.999]

It also requires two- sided aceess to the structural element in question. The degree of contrast between homogenius concrete and concrete with voids will not decrease linearly with increasing thickness, and the maximum practical thickness of concrete elements which can be studied for small voids using film radiography is of course limited, but sufficient for most civil engineering applications. [Pg.1002]

The common civil engineering seismic testing techniques work on the principles of ultrasonic through transmission (UPV), transient stress wave propagation and reflection (Impact Echo), Ultrasonic Pulse Echo (UPE) and Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW). [Pg.1003]

Zinc is also used extensively to galvanize other metals such as iron to prevent corrosion. Zinc oxide is a unique and very useful material for modern civilization. It is widely used in the manufacture of paints, rubber products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, floor coverings, plastics, printing inks, soap, storage batteries, textiles, electrical equipment, and other products. Lithopone, a mixture of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate, is an important pigment. [Pg.54]

Federal regulations (40 CFR 261) classify acrylonitrile as a hazardous waste and it is Hsted as Hazardous Waste Number U009. Disposal must be in accordance with federal (40 CFR 262, 263, 264), state, and local regulations only at properly permitted faciUties. It is Hsted as a toxic pollutant (40 CFR 122.21) and introduction into process streams, storm water, or waste water systems is in violation of federal law. Strict guidelines exist for clean-up and notification of leaks and spills. Federal notification regulations require that spills or leaks in excess of 100 lb (45.5 kg) be reported to the National Response Center. Substantial criminal and civil penalties can result from failure to report such discharges into the environment. [Pg.185]

Based on the technology developed for using PVA fiber as a replacement for asbestos in cement products, Kuraray has been developing thick fibers for reinforcing concrete (42). Super-thick fibers with a thickness of 39 tex (350 den) (200 p.m in diameter) to 444 tex (4000 den) (660 p.m in diameter) are now available the 39 tex material is used for reinforcing various mortar-based cement products and the 444 tex material for reinforcing concrete in civil engineering works such as tuimels, roads, harbors, and bays. [Pg.342]

Also of value is the study of the history of technology (24,25) that affords insights into the history of the development of civilization. The eadiest existing written records, treatises of crafts people and artists on the techniques and materials with which they worked, date back to medieval times (26—29). For prehistoric human activities, the record is in the objects which remain, and only through the study of these can knowledge in this regard be furthered. [Pg.417]

Measurement by Liquid Level. The flow rate of Hquids flowing in open channels is often measured by the use of weirs (see Liquid-LEVEL measurement). The most common type is the rectangular weir shown in Figure 22e. The flow rate across such a weir varies approximately with the quantity. Other shapes of weirs are also employed. Standard civil engineering handbooks describe the precautions necessary for constmcting and interpreting data from weirs. [Pg.110]

By the middle of the nineteenth century it was realized, both in England and in the United States, that kerosene, or coal oil, distilled from coal, could produce a luminous combustion flame. Commercialization was rapid. By the time of the U.S. Civil War, /yr (23,000 gal/yr) of lamp oil was... [Pg.78]
