Concrete pipe

Shipments of concrete pipe in 1990 had a value of > 1.6 billion dollars. Much of this piping was for storm and sanitary sewers, culverts, and irrigation piping. Pressure piping sales were close to 300 million. There are a large number of manufacturers of concrete pipe since much of the pipe is produced reasonably close to the point of use.

TWo additional observations can be made. First, because a rigid pipe transmits almost all the load of the earth cover to the trench bed, someone will occasionally be heard to say that rigid pipe, such as concrete pipe, does not require side support. This is not true. Second, because of the difference in the ways rigid and flexible conduit distribute the load of their earth cover, flexible piping materials are often said to require less bedding bearing strength, because they impose less of a load...

The water distribution system in the city of Dayton, OH, uses Southdown concrete water mains to deliver water to its citizens. Routine sampling and testing of Dayton s water supply by the city s Department of Water consistently shows that the levels of metals are well below the Ohio EOA Community Drinking Water Standards, and that these levels have remained constant throughout a nine-year testing period from 1982 to 1990. Because metal leaching has not occurred, there is no reason for concern over the safety of Southdown concrete pipes to transport drinking water. 

Wei Mon Industry Co. was established in 1987 to manufacturing concrete piping materials as well as contracting major civil infrastructure projects such as water supply pipelines, sewerage systems, and land developments. Since 1996, Wei Mon started to research and develop natural and environmentally-friendly products, including Biodegradable Plastic Products.

A 5-m-vvide, 4-m-high, and 40-ra-long kiln used to cure concrete pipes is made of 20-cm-thick concrete walls and ceiling (k 0.9 W/m - °C). The kiln is maintained at 40 C by injecting hot steam into it. The two ends of the kiln, 4 in X 5 m in size, are made of a 3-tnm-thick sheet melal covered with 2-cm-thick Styrofoam k = 0.033 W/ra - °C). The convection heat transfer coefficients on the inner and the outer surface.s of the kiln arc 3000 W/m C and 25 W/m °C, respectively. Dl.srcgaiding any heat loss through llie floor, determine the rate of heat loss from the kiln when the ambient air is at — 4°C. 

Steam is supplied by a gas-fired steam generator that has an efficiency of 85 percent, and the plant pays 1.20/thcrm of natural gas (1 therm = 105,500 kJ). If the pipe is insulated and 90 percent of the heat loss is saved as a result, determine the amount of money (his facility will save a year as a result of insulating the steam pipe-s. Assume that the concrete pipes are cured 110 nights a year. State your a.ssumptions. 

Liner Plate and Tile In addition to the above mentioned brick there is also liner tile, smooth faced with dove tailed or grooved backs. These are used to line concrete pipe and trenches. They are set into the forms, joints filled with corrosion resistant mortar, then concrete of the pipe or trench walls poured. Similarly, half round tile known as channel tile is available. This may be installed in... 

The apprication of FRP mortars is various construction materials, such as the sidewalk concrete flags (Photo 6), the artificial wood of concrete (Photo 6), the centrifugal concrete pipe with luster surface (Photo 7), and the surface mortar layer on concrete blocksf or retaing wall and revetment, laying blocks (Photo 8).

The tunnel invert was located 17 ft below track level, and the lower half of the tunnels was in clay. Above the clay was 2 to 4 ft of sand overlain by meadow mat about a foot thick. Mixed cinder and sand fill were above the meadow mat. Two shafts were put down by driving sheet piling. They were 270 ft apart, spanning the tracks. Concrete pipe was to be jacked into place, forming the tunnels. Figure 19.1 shows sketches of the job parameters. 

Pipe jacking was also involved in a 4000-ft pipeline in Alameda, California [1]. Five-foot-diameter concrete pipe was being laid by cut and cover methods. The pipe had to penetrate a 65-ft-high levee, where cut and cover could not be used. After jacking got underway a short distance, sand, gravel, and boulders ran into the pipe, leaving a large open cavity above it. 

Graft copolymers of starch with acrylonitrile and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, after saponification, were claimed to be good sorbents.3092 A composite of saponified acrylonitrile-starch-copolymer with vinyl formal polymers showed very good salt-rejection characteristics and served as membranes.3093 The same material prepared with poly(vinyl chloride) has been used in gaskets for concrete pipes.3057 Saponified acrylonitrile-starch graft copolymers blended with C12-C16 alcohols provided excellent water-retention characteristics.3094... 

Biofilm samples collected from carbon steel and concrete pipes of the DWSS Yovkovtsy had different appearance, content of water, organic and corrosion products, while ones from concrete pipe and water tank s surfaces were the same. Biofilm community mainly consisted of heterotrophic bacteria and some fungi, actinomyces and autotrophic bacteria. Corrosion related bacteria were determined in some of the biofilm samples. 

Comparison between heterotrophic bacteria count in biofilm samples from carbon steel and concrete pipes didn t show significant difference (P=95%) in bacterial density under residual chlorine content in water higher than 0.3 mg/dm3. Below that value, the significant difference in bacterial...
