Abstract:
The magnitude of today’s highway maintenance challenge, the impact of research on maintenance, basic objectives that should drive a maintenance program, and the progress made in meeting them over the last 4 decades are discussed. Highway maintenance should include the objectives of providing a consistently safe, comfortable, and efficient travel way for highway users and a safe environment for maintenance crews; providing optimum service life; maintaining as-built capacity and reliability; inviting, supporting, and using research and innovation; and performing with professionalism, competence, and diligence. Some of the challenges in meeting these objectives today are accelerating rates of deterioration, limited time available to work, complex interchanges and crowded rights-of-way, environmental restrictions, a litigious society, and public skepticism about all government functions. Three categories of responses are technologies, policies, and professionalism. A significant array of new, innovative tools and other products of research are making maintenance technology more effective. Maintenance managers need to be activists in promoting progressive policies in providing as-built capacity while performing maintenance and repair work and in procuring products and services. Maintenance policies should include recognition of user costs, use of performance specifications, fabrication of off-site repair components, design of repairable highway systems, use of corrosion-resistant materials, privatization of segments of the maintenance program, and establishment of an international maintenance technology reference program. Individual professionals must embrace continuing education, environmental sensitivity, community service, research and development, innovative management, and societal and political responsibilities.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe service life of aircraft structure includes the fatigue life and calendar life. The Aircraft Structural Life Envelop (ASLE) is a safe and reliable life scope of aircraft structures in service. The specific steps to establish the ASLE are developed, and a residual life prediction method for aircraft structure under service environments is established by combining the ASLE with the Miner theory. Furthermore, a service life extension method of aircraft structure is proposed based on a scope extension of the ASLE, including methods based on reliability analysis and structural repair. Finally, an application example of the ASLE is presented.

The author points out that self-education is the ontological basis of the educational process. Self-education forms a specific type of personal "natural economy". In industrial society teaching technologies reduce education to objective oriented learning leaving behind subjective oriented upbringing. Various markets are emerging in educational sphere characterized by the tendency to substitute "live" labor by "embedded" one. But even the most advanced countries have not extended WTO principles to the educational area.

Abstract:
Utility Computing is one of the most discussed business models in the context of Cloud Computing. Service providers are more and more pushed into the role of utilities by their customer's expectations. Subsequently, the demand for predictable service availability and pay-per-use pricing models increases. Furthermore, for providers, a new opportunity to optimise resource usage offers arises, resulting from new virtualisation techniques. In this context, the control of service quality and profit depends on a deep understanding of the representation of the relationship between business and technique. This research analyses the relationship between the business model of Utility Computing and Service-oriented Computing architectures hosted in Cloud environments. The relations are clarified in detail for the entire service life cycle and throughout all architectural layers. Based on the elaborated relations, an approach to a delivery framework is evolved, in order to enable the optimisation of the relation attributes, while the service implementation passes through business planning, development, and operations. Related work from academic literature does not cover the collected requirements on service offers in this context. This finding is revealed by a critical review of approaches in the fields of Cloud Computing, Grid Computing, and Application Clusters. The related work is analysed regarding appropriate provision architectures and quality assurance approaches. The main concepts of the delivery framework are evaluated based on a simulation model. To demonstrate the ability of the framework to model complex pay-per-use service cascades in Cloud environments, several experiments have been conducted. First outcomes proof that the contributions of this research undoubtedly enable the optimisation of service quality and profit in Cloud-based Service-oriented Computing architectures.

Abstract:
Untreated wooden cladding has a long tradition and has in recent years become a both economically and environmentally beneficial solution in miscellaneous modern building applications. Untreated wood in cladding and similar applications represents a building part that changes its appearance rather dramatically without compromising its technical functionality. The aesthetic service life is often the decisive criterion for these applications. This thesis comprises a study on the weathering of untreated, i.e. unpainted wood. Following the service life prediction methodology suggested in the ISO 15686 standard, wood was weathered both outdoors and in two laboratory weathering apparatuses. Climate data for the test site were assessed including temperature, wind-driven rain and solar radiation. The performance of non-structural wood components in exterior above-ground applications is often closely related to the aesthetics of the wooden component in question. Hence, a method for color determination of large samples was developed, and the topic of human color perception is discussed briefly. It was found that the colonization by mold growth fungi contributes significantly to its surface appearance. Differences between materials and exposure directions were investigated. The topic of limit-state for aesthetic service life is discussed and a possible assessment method for such applications is presented. No simple dose-response relationship between solar radiation and wind-driven rain, and color response of the material could be established. Acceleration factors for the conducted laboratory weathering tests are discussed. Furthermore, color changes by outdoor versus laboratory weathering were evaluated. It was found that the conducted laboratory weathering cycles could not recreate the visual appearance of an outdoor weathered surface. In summary, the suggested bottom-up approach of the service life prediction methodology is not easily adaptive for wood in this application

Full text
Abstract:

Pre-mature deterioration of reinforced concrete causesproblems world-wide and the search for reliable cost effectiveand environmental friendly repairs is intense. The service lifeof the repaired structure is important in order to establishthe annual cost and environmental impact for differentalternatives. This doctoral thesis focuses on the service lifeof concrete bridge decks repaired with bonded concreteoverlays. The approach was broad and based on the performanceof a number of bridge decks after approximately ten years inservice. The main aims were to establish the overall servicelife and to improve the design where improvements were needed.Efforts have been made to make the repairs as robust aspossible and the crucial production stage is always considered.The following parameters were investigated:

    Wear and rutting

    Bond strength and extent and cause of cracks

    Relative humidity and temperature in the deck

    Freeze-thaw resistance and number of freeze-thawcycles

    Concrete cover and service life criterion with respect tochloride initiated corrosion

    Service life predictions using moving boundarytheory

    Chloride concentrations in de-icing water and in thesurfaces of concrete overlays

    Absorption of water and chloride ions due to capillarysuction of de-icing water

    Chloride ingress in solid and cracked parts of bondedconcrete overlays

The wear and rutting were found to be limited. The bondbetween new and old concrete was unaltered or increased afterten years in service. The cracking on the overlays wasgenerally limited. The main cracking causes were insufficientcuring and reflective cracking due to construction joints (coldcasting joints) in the old bridge deck. The cracks can beavoided or made non-hazardous with respect to corrosion andfreeze-thaw damages with simple measures.

The chloride ingress was low in solid and limited in crackedparts of the overlay. Samples of concrete, snow, slush andwater were taken from the overlay during two years to quantifythe chloride concentrations and their variations. The chlorideconcentration interacted with the weather, the local climateand the salt-spreading procedures. The chloride content in theoverlays was affected to at least 10 mm from the surface.

The relative humidity in the overlay was stable and low atapproximately 20 mm from the wear surface. The number of(salt)-freeze-thaw cycles was high. The thickness of theoverlays was found to be fairly normal distributed and this wasused in the service life predictions.

The moving boundary method is suitable to predict theingress of a chloride threshold value. The method is easy touse with a probabilistic approach and simple and cheap toupdate and no parameters have to be guessed. Numerical methodswere also used and the influence of various surfaceconcentrations was investigated. The transport of chloride ionsinto cracked concrete was treated with a two dimensional modeland the influence of crack depth was found to be limited.

Both conventional capillary absorption tests and cyclicwetting and drying test out-doors were conducted on matureconcrete cast and aged in-situ. The conclusion was thatcapillary suction of de-icing water could be the dominatingfactor in the chloride absorption process.

Key words: Repairs, bridge decks, bonded concreteoverlays, service life, chloride ingress.

Abstract:
A model to determine the time to the End of Functional Service Life (EFSL) for concrete bridge decks in Virginia was developed. The service life of Virginia bridge decks is controlled by chloride-induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel. Monte Carlo resampling techniques were used to integrate the statistical nature of the input variables into the model. This is an improvement on previous deterministic models in that the effect of highly variable input parameters is reflected in the service life estimations. The model predicts the time required for corrosion to initiate on 2% of the reinforcing steel in a bridge deck and then a corrosion propagation time period, determined from empirical data, is added to estimate the EFSL for a given bridge deck or set of bridge decks. Data from 36 Virginia bridge decks was collected in order to validate the service life model as well as to investigate the effect of bridge deck construction specification changes. The bridge decks were separated into three distinct groups: 10 bare steel reinforcement decks â 0.47 water/cement (w/c), 16 Epoxy-Coated Reinforcement (ECR) decks â 0.45 w/c, and 10 ECR decks â 0.45 w/(c+pozzolan). Using chloride titration data and cover depth measurements from the sampled bridge decks and chloride corrosion initiation values determined from the literature for bare steel, service life estimates were made for the three sets of bridge decks. The influence of the epoxy coating on corrosion initiation was disregarded in order to allow direct comparisons between the three sets as well as to provide conservative service life estimates. The model was validated by comparing measured deterioration values for the bare steel decks to the estimated values from the model. A comparison was then made between the three bridge deck sets and it was determined that bridge decks constructed with a 0.45 w/(c+p) will provide the longest service life followed by the 0.47 w/c decks and the 0.45 w/c decks, respectively. From this it can be inferred that the addition of pozzolan to the concrete mix will improve the long-term durability of a bridge deck while a reduction in w/c appears to be of no benefit.

Abstract:
Pipelines are extensively used engineering structures for conveying of fluid from one place to another. Most of the time, pipelines are placed underground, surcharged by soil weight and traffic loads. Corrosion of pipe material is the most common form of pipeline deterioration and should be considered in both the strength and serviceability analysis of pipes. The study in this research focuses on two different types of buried pipes including concrete pipes in sewage systems (concrete sewers) and cast iron water pipes used in water distribution systems. This research firstly investigates how to involve the effect of corrosion as a time dependent process of deterioration in the structural and failure analysis of these two types of pipes. Then two probabilistic time dependent reliability analysis methods including first passage probability theory and the gamma distributed degradation model are developed and applied for service life prediction of the pipes. The obtained results are verified by using Monte Carlo simulation technique. Sensitivity analysis is also performed to identify the most important parameters that affect pipe failure. For each type of the pipelines both individual failure mode and multi failure mode assessment are considered. The factors that affect and control the process of deterioration and their effects on the remaining service life are studied in a quantitative manner. The reliability analysis methods which have been developed in this research, contribute as rational tools for decision makers with regard to strengthening and rehabilitation of existing pipelines. The results can be used to obtain a cost-effective strategy for the management of the pipeline system. The output of this research is a methodology that will help infrastructure managers and design professionals to predict service life of pipeline systems and to optimize materials selection and design parameters for designing pipelines with longer service life.

Abstract:
Nuclear plant service water systems are a critical part of the facility’s infrastructure. System integrity and performance are vital for plant reliability and essential to achieving a plant life of 40 years and beyond. Corrosion, fouling (macrofouling, microfouling and sedimentation) and other effects that are detrimental to the reliability of the service water system led to the issue of NRC Generic Letter 89-13 “Service Water System Problems Affecting Safety-Related Equipment.” This generic letter continues to be a fundamental guideline for safety related service water systems at all U.S. nuclear plants. The low temperature and pressure service water piping systems are primarily degraded by corrosion. Because of the complexity and random nature of corrosion processes, it is nearly impossible to develop a mathematically deterministic model that accurately predicts pipe wall loss. However, if statistical distributions are used to describe the various corrosion processes, mathematical algorithms that incorporate all of the distributions, iterated a statistically significant number of times, can be used to forecast the most probable number of leaks. This paper predicts the condition of service water piping at Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant using the described model and includes the expected number of through-wall leaks as a function of operating time.

Abstract:
Subsection ISTD of ASME’s Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code) is the required code for preservice and inservice examination and testing of dynamic restraints (snubbers). This code replaced the inspection requirements of Article IWF-5000, “Inservice Inspection Requirements for Snubbers,” in Section XI, “Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components,” of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code after the publication of the 2006 addenda to Section XI, which deleted Article IWF-5000. When the requirements of IWF-5000 were deleted, the requirements for examination and testing of snubbers, as required by Section 50.55a, “Codes and Standards,” of Title 10, “Energy,” of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.55a) became those specified by Subsection ISTD of the ASME OM Code. Therefore, when nuclear power plant owners prepare their ten-year inservice testing (IST)/inservice inspection (ISI) program updates that incorporate the 2006 (or later) addenda to Section XI, the snubber requirements will be required to be in accordance with those of Subsection ISTD of the latest approved edition and addenda of the ASME OM Code (2004 Edition with Addenda through 2006). This edition of the ASME OM Code is cited in the NRC Rulemaking which was published on June 21, 2011. Because this is a change in requirements, owners should be asking some of the following questions: What is the difference between our existing program requirements and those included in Subsection ISTD of the ASME OM Code? How will this change our existing program or the way the current snubber examination and testing program is implemented? How much effort will be required to implement this program change? This paper will provide some specific guidance for the implementation of the ISTD Code and will identify typical areas where changes may be required to existing snubber examination and testing programs. It will also describe some approaches to satisfy the requirements of ISTD-6000, “Service Life Monitoring,” which might not have been included in the previous requirements under Section XI.
