This important collection reviews key inspection and monitoring techniques and their applications to bridges, buildings, and other civil structures. The first group of chapters covers ways for testing corrosion in concrete components. Reflecting their continuing importance and vulnerability to decay, the next series of chapters describes ways of testing wood components within civil structures. A final group of chapters looks at visual and acoustic techniques and their use in assessing bridges in particular. Inspection and Monitoring Techniques for Bridges and Civil Structures will be an invaluable reference for civil engineers involved in safety inspection, maintenance, and repair.

Design of hydraulic gates
by Paulo C. F. Erbisti
Edition: 2
Taylor & Francis, 2004
ISBN 9058096211, 9789058096210
351 pages
This book is based on the author's 35 years of experience as engineer of hydromechanical projects and describes, in a simple and objective manner, the principal aspects of the design, manufacture, erection and operation of hydraulic gates. Specific topics are analyzed in depth such as the selection of the gate type, the limits of their use, estimating their weight, the operative forces, the hoisting systems, the design of the structure and the support elements, the seals and the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces acting on the gates. The constructive aspects of very large or very deep gates are analyzed as well as the various ways of heightening gates and dams to increase the reservoir volume. The use of the most recent technological advances such as inflatable gates and fuse gates is discussed. The methods recommended for structural design follow international standards. The book can be used as a textbook and manual for the design of gates. About 300 drawings and photographs, 70 tables, 90 references and 20 worked examples help the reader to understand the basic concepts and methods presented. The SI system of units is used throughout.
