Inspection, Touch Up, & Repair of Hot-Dip Galvanizing

Product Number: 51219-221-SG

Author: Kenneth Tator

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Hot-dip galvanizing is one of the most economical, maintenance-free corrosion protection systems available. Like any other manufacturing process, hot-dip galvanized steel requires an inspection of the finished product to ensure compliance with applicable specifications. In this presentation, we will discuss the inspection process completed at galvanizing facilities prior to final shipment.

Proposed Standard for Levels of Inspection

Product Number: 41208-431-SG

Author: Louis G. Lyras, Dave Hatherill, William LePage

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

This paper identifies the problems with current inspection procedures and discusses a proposed standard for levels of inspection that the owner will specify in the contract documents. The paper identifies the problems and cost to contractors and owners for inspection without clear and specified inspection standards and will demonstrate a savings without compromising the quality of the work.

The Quebec Bridge Collapse (1907): An Engineer’s Perspective to Avoid Catastrophic Failures

Product Number: MPWT19-14244

Author: Saleem Parvez Mistry

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

The failure assessment of the collapse of the Quebec Bridge in 1907 conducted by the Royal Commission is discussed in the following paper. The Quebec Bridge is a 987.5 m long; 29 m wide; and 104 m high riveted steel truss structure which collapsed not once but twice during construction. The reason for the bridge failure was attributed to member behavior and stability proved by experimental work conducted following the collapse by Royal Commission. The bridge was finally completed in 1917 and has been in operation since then. The lessons learned from the bridge collapse were pivotal in the advancement of engineering design, fabrication and formation of the two organizations, namely - the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in 1914 and American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) in 1921. The author highlights the importance of validating the design criteria and specifications by material and load testing, conducting peer reviews, design control, and paying attention to details. The lessons learned reinforce the need to establish and monitor shop fabrication practices, inspection procedures and gates (witness, hold and review points) to safely complete the execution of any civil engineering project, be it onshore or offshore construction.
