Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In a rapid load test, loads applied to strategic locations are meant to induce the internal forces equivalent to those resulting from distributed loads. The engineer has to be able to analytically interpret this equivalency when establishing the load level to be applied during the in situ test. This implies an understanding of boundary conditions (i.e., fixity), collaboration of adjoining members (i.e., load sharing), and composite action with structural and non-structural components. A rapid load test consists of concentrated loads being applied in a quasi-static manner in at least six load cycles, with each cycle containing several load steps. The initial cycles achieve relatively low levels of load and are used to verify assumptions made in the preliminary analysis and ensure stability of the system. The key feature of a rapid load test conducted with hydraulic jacks is in the ability to progressively expose a structural member to loading-unloading cycles. This allows the engineer the opportunity to maintain a strict control on safety and, at the same time, determine response parameters that are key to structural assessment, namely: linearity of behavior, repeatability of response, and permanency of deformation. The duration of a rapid load test can be significantly shorter than the 24-hour period that has been employed with traditional in situ tests. The cyclic nature of the rapid load test is considered a suitable substitute for the 24-hour sustained load. In any event, a rapid load test can last as deemed necessary by the engineer"--Abstract, leaf iii.

Book Synopsis FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures by : Perumalsamy Balaguru
Download or read book FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures written by Perumalsamy Balaguru and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-11-05 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High strength fibre composites (FRPs) have been used with civil structures since the 1980s, mostly in the repair, strengthening and retrofitting of concrete structures. This has attracted considerable research, and the industry has expanded exponentially in the last decade. Design guidelines have been developed by professional organizations in a number of countries including USA, Japan, Europe and China, but until now designers have had no publication which provides practical guidance or accessible coverage of the fundamentals. This book fills this void. It deals with the fundamentals of composites, and basic design principles, and provides step-by-step guidelines for design. Its main theme is the repair and retrofit of un-reinforced, reinforced and prestressed concrete structures using carbon, glass and other high strength fibre composites. In the case of beams, the focus is on their strengthening for flexure and shear or their stiffening. The main interest with columns is the improvement of their ductility; and both strengthening and ductility improvement of un-reinforced structures are covered. Methods for evaluating the strengthened structures are presented. Step by step procedures are set out, including flow charts, for the various structural components, and design examples and practice problems are used to illustrate. As infrastructure ages worldwide, and its demolition and replacement becomes less of an option, the need for repair and retrofit of existing facilities will increase. Besides its audience of design professionals, this book suits graduate and advanced undergraduate students.

Book excerpt: Load Testing of Bridges, featuring contributions from almost fifty authors from around the world across two interrelated volumes, deals with the practical aspects, the scientific developments, and the international views on the topic of load testing of bridges. Volume 13, Load Testing of Bridges: Proof Load Testing and the Future of Load Testing, focuses first on proof load testing of bridges. It discusses the specific aspects of proof load testing during the preparation, execution, and post-processing of such a test (Part 1). The second part covers the testing of buildings. The third part discusses novel ideas regarding measurement techniques used for load testing. Methods using non-contact sensors, such as photography- and video-based measurement techniques are discussed. The fourth part discusses load testing in the framework of reliability-based decision-making and in the framework of a bridge management program. The final part of the book summarizes the knowledge presented across the two volumes, as well as the remaining open questions for research, and provides practical recommendations for engineers carrying out load tests. This work will be of interest to researchers and academics in the field of civil/structural engineering, practicing engineers and road authorities worldwide.

Book Synopsis Durability Design of Concrete Structures in Severe Environments, Second Edition by : Odd E. Gjørv
Download or read book Durability Design of Concrete Structures in Severe Environments, Second Edition written by Odd E. Gjørv and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most pressing problems facing the construction industry globally is the deterioration of major concrete infrastructure in marine and other chloride-containing environments. While recent advancements in concrete technology have made it easier to control the negative impact of deteriorating processes such as alkali-aggregate reaction, freezing and thawing and chemical attack, chloride-induced corrosion of embedded steel continues to pose the biggest threat to structure durability and performance. The second edition of Durability Design of Concrete Structures in Severe Environments focuses on enhancing the durability and service life of concrete structures. The text describes field experience and deteriorating processes of concrete structures in severe environments, and includes current data based on extensive field investigations. It presents a durability design based on calculation of corrosion probability, and outlines additional protective strategies and measures. The text also describes procedures for performance-based concrete quality control and quality assurance with documentation of achieved construction quality and compliance with specified durability. The text further covers calculation of life cycle costs and life cycle assessment, and includes some new recommended job specifications. What’s New in the Second Edition: This second edition delivers more results and experience from practical applications of the probability-based durability design and the performance-based concrete quality control. It includes recent commercial projects both for Oslo Harbor KF and Nye Tjuvholmen KS in Oslo, and contains some preliminary results from the more comprehensive research program "Underwater Infrastructure and Underwater City of the Future" at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The book serves as an essential guide both for the owners and the consulting and construction engineers involved in new and major concrete infrastructure design and construction.
