Concrete Pipe for the New Millennium

Focused on the design, installation, and material innovation of concrete pipe and culverts, particularly within aggressive environments and modern infrastructure projects. Several papers discuss mitigating microbial induced corrosion (MIC) in sewer systems through material advancements like sulfur concrete, acid-resistant cements, and antimicrobial additives, detailing successful laboratory and field tests. Other sources concentrate on evolving structural design standards for buried concrete pipe, highlighting the implementation and verification of the Standard Installation Direct Design (SIDD) methodology and comparing it with older design approaches. Finally, the texts analyze and contrast the AASHTO Standard and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) codes for concrete box culverts, and introduce the concept of an Intelligent Technology System (ITCS) for optimizing pipeline project cycles through comprehensive data management.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/civil_engineering_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
