Product Number: 41206-238-SG

Author: John Edgar

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Research conducted at OakRidge National Laboratories in Oak Ridge, TN, National Research Council Canada, and many other institutions around the world have shown that controlling airflow through the building envelope is more important and effective in reducing heat loss and moisture transport than controlling vapor diffusion.

An Overview of Water Leakage Paths into Exterior Walls

Product Number: 41206-249-SG

Author: Kurt R. Hoigard, Garth D. Hall

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Water leakage into exterior wall construction is one of the principal causes of damage and deterioration to facade materials and underlying construction. This paper discusses the basic approaches currently used to keep water out of buildings and their relationship to several common exterior wall systems.

Basics of Corrosion in Reinforced Concrete

Product Number: 41215-897-SG

Author: Fred Goodwin, Frank Apicella

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Concrete is the second most common man-made material after potable water, yet it is a complex material that is poorly understood. Steel reinforcement is added to improve the concrete's tensile strength and ductility and is initially protected by the high concrete pH and depth of cover concrete. Eventually, due to the ingress of deleterious ions, lowering of the pH from carbonation, or electrical potential changes within the steel, corrosion will occur.

Deterioration of Wastewater Treatment and Collection System Assets: Knowing Where and How to Look

Product Number: 41206-271-SG

Author: R. A. Nixon

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

After 35 years or longer in service, the concrete infrastructure in wastewater collection systems and treatment plants has deteriorated due to various corrosion and physical degradation mechanisms. This paper reviews the major mechanisms that cause deterioration of concrete and protective coatings. Also, examples of infrastructure degradation are presented along with a discussion of the best diagnostic methods for condition assessment of concrete for the various mechanisms.

Large-Scale Pilot Test Leads to Successful Coating Specification and Application in a Major Wastewater Rehabilitation Facility

Product Number: 51323-19033-SG

Author: David Adams, Michael Donne

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

The Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission (PVSC) in Newark, New Jersey is one of the most extensive modern wastewater facilities in the Eastern United States and is the sixth largest in the country. Established in 1902, PVSC began operating the Newark Bay Treatment Plant in 1924 to mitigate pollution in the Passaic River. The sprawling facility contains miles of access roads, utility tunnels, sewers, storm drains, and process pipes.

Moisture Management In Thermal Insulations For In-Service And Out Of Service Pipelines

Product Number: 51322-17594-SG

Author: Ahmad Raza Khan Rana, Graham Brigham

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Thermally insulated pipelines have wide networks globally that are used to transport various chemicals, hydrocarbons as well as steam. CUI (corrosion under insulation), external SCC (stress corrosion cracking) and corrosion fatigue are some of the prominent damage mechanisms which may occur on the external surface of insulated pipes/ pipelines that in turn jeopardize the long-term integrity and operations. The moisture is undoubtedly the key contributor behind the above said external degradations of metallic surfaces and can come under thermal insulations via seepage and/ or condensation. Various factors that influence the extent of moisture intrusion are the design of insulated system(s), type and age of insulation, operating temperature of pipeline(s) as well as environmental and neighborhood conditions.

Outdoor Performance of One-Coat Systems Applicable to New Steel Bridges

Product Number: 41210-545-SG

Author: Yuan Yao, Seung-Kyoung Lee, Bob Kogler

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

A two-year FHWA one-coat study was launched in November 2006 to evaluate various commercially available coating materials that can be applied as one-coat systems to new steel bridges. Seven one-coat systems, a 3-coat and a 2-coat control were selected and tested in three outdoor environments.

Spot Painting as a Bridge Preservation Tool

Product Number: 41214-835-SG

Author: Bobby W. Meade, Sudhir Palle, Theodore Hopwood II

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

One of the, if not the most, vexing problems for bridge maintenance personnel is the deterioration of bridge components below leaking joints. The joints may be open or closed, construction or expansion, but all seemingly leak shortly after construction or resealing. The bridge components affected by the leaking joints may be steel or concrete, but the end result is the same, deterioration.

SR 292 Over Perdido Keys – Challenges to Field Metalizing of Steel Superstructure

Product Number: 51218-143-SG

Author: Greg Richards, Chris Sasher

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) undertook recoating of the superstructure steel components of the SR 292 high-level bridge over the Intracoastal Water Way (ICWW) in Perdido Key, Florida, which carries one lane of traffic in each direction and is the only connection between Perdido Key and the mainland. Due to the significant impact to businesses and the public, including tourists, from any proposed lane closures, FDOT looked for other means to address the deteriorating paint system, provide for a longer service life, and complete the work without any lane closures on the bridge.
