This book was released on 2015 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inability of soil to provide sufficient tensile strength presents challenges for soils being used as a structural building material. However, it is possible to improve the structural performance with the inclusion of a reinforcing system. The development of these systems has been a major advancement of the civil engineering practice. Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall systems typically consist of a: concrete facing panel, specified backfill, reinforcing elements, and the retained fill. The interaction of the backfill with the reinforcements, and the reinforcements with the facing panels, produces a system that when properly designed, can be a cost effective engineering solution. In Nevada there are over 150 MSE walls that have been constructed using metallic reinforcements (Thornley 2009). Corrosion of metallic elements a naturally occurring electrochemical process is irreversible an inevitable. The rate of metal loss (corrosion) is a function of the environmental conditions and metal type. For MSE walls key parameters include the backfill's: salt content, organic content, saturation level, as well as the metal type of the reinforcements. Nevada has two previous corrosion investigations, an extensive site investigation at I-515/ Flamingo Rd. and a statistical analysis of as-built soil records along with a preliminary investigation for I-15/ Cheyenne Blvd. These studies form the foundation for this investigation of in-situ corrosion conditions. Seven MSE wall sites were investigated using electrochemical backfill characterization and linear polarization resistance (LPR) corrosion rate monitoring. Evaluation of electrochemical backfill characteristics has resulted in the discovery of six sites that fail current NDOT/ AASHTO MSE wall backfill requirements. The in-situ soil samples collected and analyzed more than doubled the available data used to describe the corrosiveness of the backfill. Linear polarization resistance corrosion rates were obtained for more than 200 different elements. These data suggest that despite the aggressive nature of the backfill, most elements are preforming well and are below the anticipated rates. However, several elements were discovered with corrosion rates in excess of five times the design model. The use of the LPR corrosion monitoring has concluded that the conditions at I-15/ and Cheyenne Blvd. are equivalent to or worse than the conditions evaluated in 2004 at the I-515/ Flamingo Rd. complex. The discoveries at Flamingo Rd. led to remediation of the largest wall at the complex. Through the use of electrochemical backfill characteristics and LPR corrosion rates, the seven sites investigated have been ranked. The rankings are dependent on several factors such as backfill electrochemical conditions and comparison of corrosion rates data with design models. This study has confirmed that observations of conditions along the exterior of the wall are not sufficient when determining the condition of the soil reinforcements. Routine corrosion monitoring is required to monitor the depletion of the soil reinforcements and should be incorporated into a Long-term Corrosion Monitoring and Asset Management Plan (LCMAMP). It is anticipated that a program will be integrated into Nevada's current asset management systems. The development and implementation of LCMAMP, directly reflects the federal initiative for systematic detailed evaluation of critical assets, MAP-21.

Book Synopsis Long Term Corrosion of Reinforcing Strips in Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls by : Brandon Seth Berke

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls are a more advanced form of a retaining wall, often larger and able to hold back more backfill. This is achieved by reinforcing strips or meshes (most often galvanized steel) placed into the soil, which are held in place by friction. The strips mechanically stabilize the earth while undergoing tension. The wall is covered with concrete medallions that connect to the reinforcements. The medallions have only a secondary structural role in holding up the wall but provide cover that protects the soil from washing away. MSE walls are structures expected to have very long service lives (e.g. 100 years). Confirmation is needed that such durability can be achieved, especially to show that the progression of corrosion of the reinforcement is slow enough. Ten MSE walls around Florida were instrumented (electrical connections were made through the concrete covers to the buried elements) between 1996- 1998 and used to survey corrosion rates of galvanized strip or mesh soil reinforcements. Initial estimates of corrosion-related durability were obtained at that time, indicating a good prognosis for long term durability. The objective of the research in this thesis was to obtain additional indications of the durability of reinforcements in MSE walls in Florida so as to perform a more reliable projection of future performance. Corrosion behavior was measured at the same locations as the initial survey by electrochemical nondestructive tests and by destructive tests. The nondestructive testing consisted of half-cell potentials, polarization resistance measurements, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Corrosion rates reported in this thesis are based upon polarization resistance measurements. The destructive testing consisted of soil extraction and hardware extraction. Hardware extraction enabled independent verification of estimates of electrochemical corrosion rate. Analysis of extracted soil verified that soil composition was within construction specifications. The data from the current survey were also used to further improve prediction of corrosion. The present series of evaluations confirm that the structures are performing as desired based upon the updated model projection of future corrosion.

Book excerpt: This manual provides guidance for the safe design and economical construction of retaining and flood walls. This manual is intended primarily for retaining walls which will be subjected to hydraulic loadings such as flowing water, submergence, wave action, and spray, exposure to chemically contaminated atmosphere, and/or severe climatic conditions. For the design of retaining walls which will not be subjected to hydraulic loadings or severe environmental conditions as described above, TM S-8l8-l may be used for computing the loadings and evaluating the stability of the structure.
Book Synopsis Measuring Corrosion Conditions in Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls by : Robert L. Parsons
Download or read book Measuring Corrosion Conditions in Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls written by Robert L. Parsons and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KDOT extensively utilizes mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, typically with coarse aggregate backfill. Previous projects K-TRAN: KSU-15-6 and K-TRAN: KU-15-5 tested the aggregate material from MSE walls under construction. KU identified that several of the clean aggregate samples contained some fines, likely from crushing of the aggregate, and two of the walls contained over 10% fines. Aggregate backfill is specified because it allows for free drainage, limiting the pore water pressure buildup behind the wall. There is the potential for these fines to migrate towards the base of the wall over time. This migration of fines would not only increase the potential for water retention, but it would also increase the localized corrosion potential of the backfill. This joint project measured the backfill corrosion conditions of 12 MSE walls selected by KDOT. Walls were surveyed using a variety of non-destructive resistivity arrays and by cutting through the wall face, sampling the backfill, and inspecting reinforcing strap conditions. Multiple walls with potentially corrosive backfills (low resistivity) were identified, and several walls had reinforcement with visible corrosion in progress. The resistivity survey method and the physical sampling method were generally consistent in identifying backfills with low resistivity. The results support the potential of using a modified four-electrode electrical resistivity measurement to identify corrosive environments in MSE walls. If used by KDOT, this will improve KDOT’s geotechnical asset management of MSE walls. Results from the physical testing of backfills showed that the finest fraction of the backfill (D10) was strongly correlated with low resistivity values, particularly with the sand backfills. High chloride concentrations were also measured in the three samples with the lowest resistivity. These results support the current recommendation that the percentage of fines (material smaller than the #200 sieve) be limited to a maximum of 5%, and encourages the consideration of an additional specification that the percentage passing the #100 sieve be limited to 10%.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated a multi-parameter corrosion monitoring system for existing reinforced concrete structures in chlorideladen service environments. The system was fabricated based on a prototype concrete corrosion measurement system that had been built and patented by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI). In a laboratory benchmark test, a chloride concentration vs. potential calibration curve was established and indicated good linearity between 0.01 mol/L and 1 mol/L. The general and maximum localized corrosion rates, as measured by the Multielectrode Array Sensor (MAS) probe, were all sensitive to the incremental chloride concentration in a simulated pore solution. However, once active corrosion is initiated and a great amount of chloride is present, the MAS probe may no longer serve as a good tool to predict the corrosion rate of rebar unless more research is conducted to establish such prediction or correlation. It was also revealed that in a sensor longevity test, only a fraction of sensors can be considered reliable after eight accelerated weathering cycles. In addition, a laboratory pilot-scale test was done by incorporating an array of three sensing units at different depth of a mortar cylinder to monitor the ingress of chloride and the corrosion rate of rebar at different depths. The results identified many challenges to improve the sensor probe. A detailed guideline along with video documentation was developed as a reference to guide field implementation. A field deployment of the system in an ODOT bridge pier was attempted for a few months. However, future research into improvements of the sensor system is needed to achieve a successful field application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to provide a detailed overview of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Walls Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls deploy horizontal layers of closely spaced tensile inclusion in the fill material to achieve stability of a soil mass. GRS walls are more adaptable to different environmental conditions, more economical, and offer high performance in a wide range of transportation infrastructure applications. This book addresses both GRS and GMSE, with a much stronger emphasis on the former. For completeness, it begins with a review of shear strength of soils and classical earth pressure theories. It then goes on to examine the use of geosynthetics as reinforcement, and followed by the load-deformation behavior of GRS mass as a soil-geosynthetic composite, reinforcing mechanisms of GRS, and GRS walls with different types of facing. Finally, the book finishes by covering design concepts with design examples for different loading and geometric conditions, and the construction of GRS walls, including typical construction procedures and general construction guidelines. The number of GRS walls and abutments built to date is relatively low due to lack of understanding of GRS. While failure rate of GMSE has been estimated to be around 5%, failure of GRS has been found to be practically nil, with studies suggesting many advantages, including a smaller susceptibility to long-term creep and stronger resistance to seismic loads when well-compacted granular fill is employed. Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls will serve as an excellent guide or reference for wall projects such as transportation infrastructure—including roadways, bridges, retaining walls, and earth slopes—that are in dire need of repair and replacement in the U.S. and abroad. Covers both GRS and GMSE (MSE with geosynthetics as reinforcement); with much greater emphasis on GRS walls Showcases reinforcing mechanisms, engineering behavior, and design concepts of GRS and includes many step-by-step design examples Features information on typical construction procedures and general construction guidelines Includes hundreds of line drawings and photos Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls is an important book for practicing geotechnical engineers and structural engineers, as well as for advanced students of civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering.
