Handbook of Steel Drainage and Highway Construction Products

INTRODUCTION
Years of dependable service and a multitude of wide ranging installations have led the corrugated steel industry to play a major role in modern engineering technology for drainage systems. Flexible steel conduits play an important role in the form of culverts, storm sewers, subdrains, spillways, underpasses, conveyor conduits, service tunnels, detention chambers and recharge systems; for highways, railways, airports, municipalities, recreation areas, industrial parks, flood and conservation projects, water pollution abatement and many other programs.

This is the Second Canadian Edition of the “Handbook of Steel Drainage and Highway Construction Products”. It has been developed and published by the Corrugated Steel Pipe Institute, representing the CSP industry in Canada. The First Canadian Edition of this book was written and published by the American Iron and Steel Institute in 1984. Since then there have been a number of reprints, but no major changes. This second edition is the result of a thorough review, revision and updating of information to reflect the current state-of-the-art and needs of the users in Canada.
Some of the specific changes that have been made include:
• The addition of spiral rib CSP and deep corrugated structural plate profiles.
• Structural design in accordance with the 2001 Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code CSA-S6 for structures 3 m in span and larger.
• Design examples illustrating the structural design methodology.
• Additional retaining wall types.
• All metric information.

BS 7543:2003 Guide to durability of buildings and building elements, products and components

Executive summary
Guidance on the durability, required and predicted service life and design life of buildings and building elements, products and components.

Abstract
This British Standard provides guidance on durability, required and predicted service life and design life of buildings and their components and/or parts. It applies primarily to new buildings and their components and/or parts rather than to alterations and repairs. It also gives guidance on presenting information on the service and design life of buildings and their components and/or parts when a detailed brief is being developed.

This standard applies to civil engineering projects involving buildings, but only partially to other civil engineering projects such as roads, bridges and dams.

This standard does not deal with many aspects of obsolescence, i.e. when buildings or parts of buildings are replaced or altered either to suit different needs and changing conditions including change of use, mandatory requirements or when new products offer better performance without a corresponding increase in cost.

EN 12063:1999 Execution of special geotechnical work - Sheet-pile walls

This standard specifies requirements, recommendations and information concerning the execution of permanent or tempory sheet pile wall structures in accordance with 2.4 of ENV 1991-1:1994 and the handling of equipment and materials. It does not give requirements and recommendations for the installation of specific parts of the structure such as ground anchorages and piles which are covered by other codes.
