It is well known that buried pipelines get an insulating effect from adjacent soil mass.
Can anyone cite references where the temperature of the soil just below seabed
has been measured and reported? This could also have been used in the analysis
of temperature gradient of the fluid in the...
I am looking for the basis for determining the coating breakdown factor
for a submarine pipeline coated with about 500 microns of Fusion
bonded epoxy and having a concrete weight coating of 1-3 inches.
This type of system, I understand, is common in GOM. The coating
breakdown factor is...

It is common to provide steel piles and concrete decks in Jetty
structures. What kind of connection is commonly detailed ?
Are there many choices for designers? The situation I am
interested in is a connection wherein there is a large bending
moment apart from axial load at the interface.
Has anyone used a non-elastomer (steel, stainless steel, other metals)
bearing for bridges? Specific advantages/ disadvantages ? I believe
they could be cheaper, easier to manufacture, and longer lasting.
Thanks

I presume load testing of piles under bridges would be still common
around the world. I would like to know the practice of deriving
safe working load of the piles from load tests for large
diameter piles. i.e., what is the load/settlement upto which
the pile is tested, and what is the method of...
I wish to discuss the various acceptability criteria for safe working
loads of piles from Pile load tests. The most commonly quoted
criterion is: "Safe working load is 50% of the load corresponding to
a settlement of 10% of pile diameter".
When we consider large diameter piles, say...
1. I am interested in finding if there are international standards or
minimum requirements for
providing mooring arrangements in tankers (winches, bollards, mooring
ropes/wires, their capacities etc.) which are followed by the entire
shipping industry. (Something equivalent to OCIMF). I would be...
How prevalent is the use of Epoxy coated Rebars in Bridges
in USA, apart from deck slabs? Are there any DOT
requirements in this regard in any state? My interest is in
girders, substructures including piers and other components
such as abutments, foundations. Any references, links would be...
I would like to get the feedback from designers of
marine facilities what type of rebars they have used,
particularly in the tidal zone.(Ordinary black bars,
galvanized, epoxy coated, any other). and why was
the selection made. Any feedbacks based on
construction experience, long term...
I am looking for write ups, photos of field performance of concrete
marine structures, particularly with regard to corrosion of
reinforcement. Type, coating of reinforcement(if any) prescribed/
practised in different countries for concrete marine structures
is also of interest.
Any leads...
