  USDOT: Seismic Retrofitting Guidelines for Complex Steel Truss Highway Bridges
Posted by: ir_71 - 06-22-2011, 03:50 AM - Forum: Bridge (Project and Technology) - Replies (1)

Seismic Retrofitting Guidelines for Complex Steel Truss Highway Bridges

Author: Tom Ho, Roupen Donikian, Tim Ingham, Chuck Seim and Austin Pan | Size: 12.1 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: FHWA | Year: 2006 | pages: 190

[Image: 68769285373633477290.jpg]

This manual, entitled Seismic Retrofitting Guidelines for Complex Steel Truss Highway Bridges (referred to as Guidelines in this document), collects and summarizes the state-of-the-practice, up to 2005, for retrofitting steel truss bridges on the highway system within the United States. These Guidelines are based on and are supplementary to the Seismic Retrofitting Manual for Highway Structures Part 1: Bridges (referred to in these Guidelines as the Bridge Retrofitting Manual), developed by the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER), to be published by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 2006. The Bridge Retrofitting Manual divides ordinary highway bridges into two classifications, “essential” and “standard,” by their expected performance after a seismic event. Essential bridges are all bridges that are expected to function after a seismic event by continuing to carry traffic. Standard bridges are all other ordinary highway bridges, which may sustain minor to serious damage after a seismic event (but preserve life safety) and may need extensive repair or replacement. These Guidelines also define two classifications of highway steel trusses by their truss configurations: “seismically standard” trusses, which are “ordinary highway bridge” trusses; “seismically complex” trusses, which are the “unusual” types of highway steel trusses; and “long-span” highway steel trusses. All highway truss bridges that meet the classification of “essential bridges” in the Bridge Retrofitting Manual are automatically classified as “seismically complex” trusses in these Guidelines. As in the Bridge Retrofitting Manual, a performance-based seismic retrofit philosophy is used in these Guidelines with performance criteria specified for two earthquake ground motions: a lower level earthquake with a mean return period of 100 years, and an upper level earthquake with a mean return period of 1,000 years. For the “seismically standard truss” classification, a higher performance requirement is specified for the lower level earthquake than for the upper level earthquake. For the “seismically complex truss” classification, a higher performance requirement is specified for both lower level and upper level earthquakes, because seismically complex trusses have special structural configurations that behave under seismic excitation in a complex manner; thus they require a higher standard of seismic retrofit. These Guidelines are written primarily for practicing bridge design engineers who have some familiarity with the seismic retrofitting design of ordinary steel and concrete girder bridges. Experience in the applications of more advanced design techniques such as nonlinear analysis, soil-foundation-structure interaction, and experience with bridge construction methods are helpful in applying these Guidelines. U.S. customary units are used rather than SI units because they were used in the construction of most of the truss bridges that will require seismic retrofitting. Theses Guidelines comprise seven chapters on the technical application of the seismic retrofitting of steel truss highway bridges:
1 Introduction
2 Retrofitting Philosophy and Process
3 Screening and Prioritization
4 Structural Analysis
5 Design Parameters
6 Evaluation of Members, Connections and Subsystems
7 Retrofit Measures, Approach and Strategy
Three additional chapers provide supporting information:
8 Case Studies
9 Glossary
10 References and Bibliography

  Frost Resistance of Building Materials
Posted by: ir_71 - 06-22-2011, 03:26 AM - Forum: General Books - No Replies

Frost Resistance of Building Materials, Proceedings of the 3'd Nordic Research Seminar in Lund

Author: K Fridh, Editor | Size: 11.4 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Lund Institute of Technology Division of Building Materials | Year: 1999 | pages: 167

[Image: 94483374796286936697.jpg]


[Image: info.png]

This report contains papers presented at a Research Seminar , or rather "workshop", organised by our Department. It is the third in a series. The previous seminars were held in 1993 and 19961• The seminar is "Nordic", by which is meant that the speakers came from the Scandinavian countries -Demnark, Norway, Sweden- and Finland. Certainly there are other Nordic countries in which frost is a real problem, but this time there were no participants from these countries. Most participants were invited personally and asked to give presentations. The seminar language was English making it possible also for participants from outside Scandinavia to take part. This time same German guest research students took part as "observers" and as contributors to the discussions.
The papers cover many aspects of frost damage. Some papers discuss the very important problem of mai sture uptake before and during a freeze/tha w test. Other papers treat the destruction mechanisms behind salt-frost scaling and internai frost attack. There are also papers dealing with the assessment of the service life of concrete exposed to frost action. Same papers present data from field exposure of specimens and from real structures. Altogether, the seminar gives a good picture of what is going on in frost research in the Nordic countries. Almost aU papers, however, treat concrete. There are many more building materials for which frost damage is a problem, but no papers were presented. This does not necessarily mean that work is not done on materials such as clay brick, natural stone, etc, but evidently the activities are much smaller than for concrete. One reason might be that it is much more difficult to find research funding for studies of these types of materials.

  Supplementary Cementing Materials for Use in Blended Cements
Posted by: ir_71 - 06-21-2011, 04:45 PM - Forum: General Books - No Replies

Supplementary Cementing Materials for Use in Blended Cements

Author: R. Detwiler, J. Bhatty, S. Bhattacharja | Size: 8.6 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: PCA | Year: 1996 | pages: 106 | ISBN: 0893121428

Provides information on using fly ash, slag, silica fume and natural pozzolans in the manufacturing of blended cements and the effects of these materials on cement and concrete.
Blended cements have been used extensively in Europe but are not common in North America, where supplementary cementing materials are generally added directly to concrete. However, interest in blended cements in North America is growing because of such advantages to the manufacturer as increased production capacity, reduced CO2 emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Blended cements offer a number of potential advantages to the user as well. These include optimized chemistry for sulfate resistance, optimized particle size distributions for low water demand and the desired reactivity, optimized strength gain characteristics, and superior quality control. However, these benefits are not an automatic result of combining clinker with one or more supplementary cementing materials. There is a distinct possibility of making blended cements that are inferior to portland cement if they are not optimized. This report describes the characteristics of the various components that can be used in blended cements and discusses in detail the mechanisms by which they affect each other and the behavior of concrete.

  ISO FDIS 19906:2009 Petroleum and natural gas industries — Arctic offshore structures
Posted by: ir_71 - 06-21-2011, 04:48 AM - Forum: ISO - Replies (2)

ISO FDIS 19906:2009 Petroleum and natural gas industries — Arctic offshore structures

Author: ISO/TC 67 | Size: 8 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: ISO | Year: 2009 | pages: 474

[Image: 64049917118718502741.jpg]


[Image: info.png]

This International Standard specifies requirements and provides recommendations and guidance for the design, construction, transportation, installation and removal of offshore structures, related to the activities of the petroleum and natural gas industries in arctic and cold regions. Reference to arctic and cold regions in this International Standard is deemed to include both the Arctic and other cold regions that are subject to similar sea ice, iceberg and icing conditions. The objective of this International Standard is to ensure that offshore structures in arctic and cold regions provide an appropriate level of reliability with respect to personnel safety, environmental protection and asset value to the owner, to the industry and to society in general. This International Standard does not contain requirements for the operation, maintenance, service-life inspection or repair of arctic and cold region offshore structures, except where the design strategy imposes specific requirements (e.g. 17.2.2). While this International Standard does not apply specifically to mobile offshore drilling units (see ISO 19905-1), the procedures relating to ice actions and ice management contained herein are applicable to the assessment of such units. This International Standard does not apply to mechanical, process and electrical equipment or any specialized process equipment associated with arctic and cold region offshore operations except in so far as it is necessary for the structure to sustain safely the actions imposed by the installation, housing and operation of such equipment.

  ISO 19901-1,2,4,6 Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries-Specific Req for Offshore Strs
Posted by: ir_71 - 06-21-2011, 04:15 AM - Forum: ISO - Replies (10)

ISO 19901-1:2005 Petroleum and natural gas industries - Specific requirements for offshore structures — Part 1: Metocean design and operating considerations

Author: ISO/TC 67 | Size: 5.5 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: ISO | Year: 2005 | pages: 144

[Image: 75333835613224570078.jpg]


[Image: info.png]

This part of ISO 19901 gives general requirements for the determination and use of meteorological and oceanographic (metocean) conditions for the design, construction and operation of offshore structures of all types used in the petroleum and natural gas industries. The requirements are divided into two broad types:
a) those that relate to the determination of environmental conditions in general, together with the metocean parameters that are required to adequately describe them;
b) those that relate to the characterization and use of metocean parameters for the design, the construction activities or the operation of offshore structures.
The environmental conditions and metocean parameters discussed comprise
⎯ extreme and abnormal values of metocean parameters that recur with given return periods that are considerably longer than the design service life of the structure,
⎯ long-term distributions of metocean parameters, in the form of cumulative, conditional, marginal or joint statistics of metocean parameters, and
⎯ normal environmental conditions that are expected to occur frequently during the design service life of the structure.
Metocean parameters are applicable to
⎯ the determination of actions and action effects for the design of new structures,
⎯ the determination of actions and action effects for the assessment of existing structures,
⎯ the site-specific assessment of mobile offshore units,
⎯ the determination of limiting environmental conditions, weather windows, actions and action effects for pre-service and post-service situations (i.e. fabrication, transportation and installation or decommissioning and removal of a structure), and
⎯ the operation of the platform, where appropriate.
NOTE Specific metocean requirements for tension leg platforms are to be contained in ISO 19904-2[1], for sitespecific assessment of jack-ups in ISO 19905-1[2], for arctic structures in ISO 19906[3] and for topsides structures in ISO 19901-3[4].
