Cathodic Protection of Prestressed Concrete Pipe

Prestressed Concrete Piles

A state of the art presentation on prestressed piling as used throughout the world is discussed in this General Report to the FIP Symposium on Mass-Produced Prestressed Precast Elements in Madrid, Spain, May 1968. Historical information, design data and notes along with manufacturing techniques, installation practices, discussion of problems and failures and a complete bibliography are all cove...

Ductility of Prestressed and Partially Prestressed Concrete Beam Sections

D analyses of structures responding elastically to ground motions recorded during severe earthquakes have shown that the theoretical response inertia loads are generally significantly greater than the static design lateral loads recommended by codes. Hence, structures designed for the lateral earthquake loads recommended by codes can only survive severe earthquakes if they have sufficient ducti...

Ductility Evaluation of Prestressed Concrete Members

In this paper, moment-curvature behavior and ductility of prestressed concrete members based on nonlinear analysis is investigated. Influence of various design parameters on ductility of flexural members is determined according to appropriate materials models for stress-strain curves of concrete, prestressing steel and conventional reinforcements. Parameters studied include reinforcing index (ω...

CATHODIC PROTECTION OF STEEL REINFORCED CONCRETE BY CONDUCTIVE EPOXY PAINTS IN MARINE ENVIRONMENTS

Anodes are critical component of cathodic protection systems. As part of this effort, three different anodes were tested in a cathodic protection system that was designed and constructed to prevent further corrosion of reinforced concrete. This anodic system includes an electrically conductive coating composition applied in fluid form over an outer surface of the concrete mix. The composition f...
