Eastman, Ryan S. "Experimental Investigation of Steel Pipe Pile to Concrete Cap Connections." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2011. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2628.
Full textAbstract:
Piles are often used to resist vertical and lateral loads when shallow foundations are inadequate or uneconomical. A critical part in designing pile foundations is the pile-to-cap connection. When a moment resisting connection is desired, reinforcement is typically used between the pile and the cap. A pile-to-cap connection with sufficient pile embedment depth, however, may provide similar results. One model that is currently used to determine the capacity of a pile-to-cap connection was developed by Marcakis and Mitchell for steel members embedded in concrete. This model considers an embedment mechanism that resists rotation at the connection. Recent testing has shown, however, that this model is conservative and that additional mechanisms contribute to the strength of the connection. An experimental study was conducted to investigate pile-to-cap connections for pipe piles without reinforcement. Three pile-to-cap specimens with varying pile embedment depth were loaded laterally to failure. The results from the testing confirm that pile-to-cap connections with shallow pile embedment depth have significant stiffness. An improved model was developed to estimate elastic and ultimate capacities of embedded connections. In addition to the embedment mechanism used by Marcakis and Mitchell, this model includes a bearing mechanism at the end of the pile. For pile-to-cap connections with a large pile bearing area to pile embedment depth ratio, this bearing mechanism provides more strength than the embedment mechanism. For pile-to-cap connections with a small pile bearing area to pile embedment depth ratio, this bearing mechanism has little contribution to the strength of the connection.

Full textAbstract:
A cellular cofferdam represents a challenging soil-structure interaction problem. The cellular system consists of a combination of a flexible structure formed from interlocking sheet piles that is filled with soil. In the past, the cellular cofferdam has been viewed as a temporary structure, and the design procedures have been based on empirical concepts. Basic to these approaches are assumptions of soil and structural behavior that have, at best, only a rough accounting for soil-structure interaction.
In the last decade, work on cofferdams has improved our understanding of the behavior of these systems. Documentation of performance has increased, and in a few cases major instrumentation efforts have been undertaken. Concurrently, finite element methods have been introduced for the analysis of cofferdams. Where the finite element models have been properly calibrated by field performance, they have reasonably predicted the principal aspects of cofferdam behavior. Results of the finite element models have also served to help explain some aspects of the soil-structure interaction process in the cofferdam system.
Two finite element programs are used in this research, AXISHL and GPS. The first of these is an axisymmetric analysis tool which is applicable to the case of filling of a main cell. The second program provides a simplified means of analyzing the main/arc cell and common wall system. Both programs are used in a series of parameter studies with the objective to provide information that will allow improvement of the state-of-the-art of design for cofferdams. An analytical solution is proposed which allows an insight to be developed as to how the clamping effect at the dredge line affects the behavior of the system. A simplified calculation procedure which has some of the characteristics of the finite element analysis is developed to supplement the need for a finite element analysis.Ph. D.

This study has been done in order to examine which type of pile, pile driving- and waterproofing methodsare most suited for an existing building. A building that will undergo an extensive reinforcement of itsfoundation.The study has been made in regard to the following conditions:● Different types of clay soil (Cohesion soil)● Underlying rock structure with heavy incline (8° slope)● Sensitive environment for vibrations and ground displacements● Limited accessibility (Room and maximum weight)● Compressive and tensile forces● Pool (Water environment)To answer the questions of statement a scientific literature study, interview with a foundation expert,calculations in sizing, but also time and cost analysis has been conducted. A site visit to an object ofreference, Nya Krav Himmerfjärdsverket, occurred where a reconstruction of an existing building withextensive work of reinforcement to its’ foundation was in progress.The steel pipe pile with anchor and steel core pile are the best pile types in such conditions as compressiveand tensile forces, clay soil with underlying inclined rock bed, limited accessibility and sensitivesurrounding environment. Which pile type, pile driving- and waterproofing methods that are most suited forsuch conditions is different for each project. The steel core pile is more suitable for higher loads, rockstructures in incline and when verification of load capacity is not needed. At the same time the steel pipepile is more suited when the underlying rock bed is far below ground level, where you would need manypile elements and joints. In addition, the steel pipe pile is suitable for buildings with a complex loaddistribution, where a greater number of piles with lower load capacities is needed in order to satisfy this.The best pile driving method for drilling in sensitive environment is the water equipped down-the-hole(DTH) drill. This drilling method is gentle to surrounding piles in existing building.In order to minimise the risk of water penetration and then expand the life span of the construction, use ofa combination of different waterproofing systems is to prefer when waterproofing pile heads or pilefoundations.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the available adfreeze data published in literature and the techniques used to obtain it. Two methods were selected and modified to complete series of adfreeze bond test. A model pile pull-out method consisting of pulling a pile out a large specimen of soil was the first method used. The second method was modified from an interface shearing apparatus developed by Dr. Fakharian and Dr. Evgin at the University of Ottawa in 1996 and allowed preparing, freezing and testing the specimen in place.
The material and soil tested for this study were provided by EXP Services Inc. The model pile, a galvanized HSS 114.3 x 8.6 section, is commonly used to install solar panels. Soil was taken from a future solar farm site in proximity to Cornwall, Ontario.
The study had for objective to develop a low cost adfreeze laboratory testing method. Limitations of the technics and apparatus used were observed. While the results of a model pile pull-out test compared to previous data publish by Parameswaran (1978), the interface shear series of test presented more limitations. The interface shearing method has been previously study by Ladanyi and Thériault (1990).
Issues with the interface shear method due to the water content of the soil as well as the range of normal stress applied to the specimen both during testing and freezing. The data obtained was inconclusive and the method will be studied in future research program.
This studied approach the adfreeze testing with new improvement. The main contribution of this study is the data obtained by measuring and observing adfreeze of ice poor sand with varying water content. The measurements allowed to study the effect that increasing water content has on the interface bond strength.
The modifications made to interface shear apparatus are also major new contribution provided by this research. The apparatus was converted in a small freezer chamber using insulation panel and vortex tubes. Which was used to freeze the specimen in the testing chamber and testing adfreeze in place without handling the shear box arrangement.

Full textAbstract:
The effectiveness of removing anomalous material from cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) piles by water jetting was examined. The primary objectives of this research were to examine how reinforcing steel influences water jetting and to evaluate how jetting pressures and standoff distance from the material surface affect water jetting of concrete type materials and PVC tubing. The experimental work consisted of water blasting submerged test specimens using rotary jets, nozzles, pumping equipment, and testing procedures currently used in construction practice. The concrete test specimens were comprised of ring- and cylinder-shaped samples, containing materials with compressive strengths of approximately 160 and 3,600 psi. Typical PVC tubing used as inspection access holes for non-destructive testing in CIDH piles was utilized for tubing specimens. During testing, erosion depths were measured as a function of standoff distance and jetting pressure. Water jetted specimens containing reinforcing steel were cut apart after testing to permit inspection of the erosion cavity and eroded material surfaces behind the steel reinforcement. Reinforcing steel bars in CIDH piles do interfere with the jet path and will locally influence material erosion and water-jetting effectiveness. For a relatively weak material, water-jetting pressures between 10,000 and 11,000 psi produced erosion up to a radial distance of approximately 12 inches from the water jet. This erosion distance is less than half the typical maximum design spacing of PVC inspection access tubing installed in CIDH piles.

ABSTRACTLateral Resistance of Piles near 15 Foot Vertical MSE AbutmentWalls Reinforced with Ribbed Steel StripsJarell Jen Chou HanDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering, BYUMaster of ScienceA full scale MSE wall was constructed and piles were driven at various distances behind the wall. Lateral load tests were conducted to determine the effect of pile spacing from the wall on the lateral resistance of the piles and the force resisted by the MSE reinforcement. The piles used for this study were 12.75 inch pipe piles and the reinforcements were ribbed steel strips.Load-deflection curves were developed for piles located behind the wall at 22.4 inches (1.7 pile diameters), 35.4 inches (2.8 pile diameters), 39.4 inches (3.1 pile diameters) and 49.9 inches (3.9 pile diameters). Data results show that the lateral resistance of the pile decreases as the spacing behind the wall decreases. Measured load-deflection curves were used to compare with computed curves from LPILE with p-multiplier developed for the lateral resistance of piles closer to the wall. A curve was created showing the variation of p-multiplier with normalized pile spacing behind the wall. The curve suggests that a p-multiplier of 1 (no reduction in lateral resistance) can be used when a pile is placed at least four pile diameters from the back face of the wall.

I crescenti problemi legati ai cambiamenti climatici rendono l'impiego delle energie rinnovabili sempre più interessante.
In questa ottica, in Germania si sta pianificando di aumentare la produzione di energia pulita attraverso lo sfruttamento dell’energia eolica. Nuovi impianti di turbine eoliche sono previsti nel Mare del Nord in acque medio profonde (25-45m) dove la parte immersa della struttura della turbina eolica (chiamata sottostruttura) è spesso costituita da una struttura jacket (traliccio) o tripod (a treppiedi). Questo tipo di sottostrutture trasmettono principalmente carichi assiali alle fondazioni (in genere fondazioni su palo), e il carico a trazione è la forza che maggiormente ne influenza il dimensionamento.
Molte compagnie energetiche tedesche sono interessate a migliorare l’efficienza e i costi dei loro impianti eolici e, per questo, incaricano università ed istituti di ricerca (come il Fraunhofer IWES) per indagarne gli aspetti, come ad esempio il comportamento delle fondazioni offshore.
All’autore di questa tesi è stata data l’opportunità di studiare e lavorare al Fraunhofer IWES e perciò questa tesi tratterà del compramento di pali caricati assialmente e staticamente pensati per sottostrutture jacket o tripod per turbine eoliche.
Nello studio effettuato per questa tesi, i dati seprimentali, ottenuti da una campagna sperimentale condotta (in larga scala 1:10 1:5) su pali infissi in terreno sabbioso, sono confrontati attraverso l’impiego delle load-transfer curves (funzioni che descrivono il comportamento d’interfaccia palosuolo) usando sia un’approccio classico (fornito dal metodo di calcolo API Main Text) sia approcci più recenti (dati dai metodi di calcolo CPT).
Uno script Matlab creato appositamente dall’autore di questa tesi riesce ad implementare 11 diversi tipi di load-transfer curves. Il lavoro di tesi si conclude con un esempio pratico in grado di fornire un’idea di come questo script può essere usato nella progettazione.

Full textAbstract:
Les Piles À Combustible Microbiennes (PACMs) permettent de convertir directement en électricité une partie de l'énergie contenue dans des substrats biodégradables et ce, grâce à la formation d'un biofilm électroactif à la surface de leur anode. Solutions de grapillage énergétique d'avenir, ces systèmes bioélectrochimiques pourraient ainsi, à titre d'exemple, servir à l'alimentation autonome de capteurs en zone isolée ou être plus généralement implantés au sein de stations d'épuration. Néanmoins, après maintenant une vingtaine d'années de développement, les performances des PACMs ont tendance à stagner. La solution fréquemment retenue pour améliorer leurs résultats est de développer de nouveaux matériaux d'anode en optimisant leur structure ou leur surface mais très souvent en négligeant les critères de longévité, de prix et de transposabilité à une échelle industrielle, essentiels pour cette application. L'objectif de cette étude est de proposer des anodes performantes, avec un procédé de fabrication simple, bon marché et stables dans le temps. Constituées de monofilaments d'acier inoxydable 304L enchevêtrés, les anodes que nous développons ont été dans un premier temps caractérisées mécaniquement (par compression œdométrique) et d'un point de vue microstructural (par tomographie à rayons X). Puis, leur intégration au sein de prototypes de PACMs inoculés avec des boues activées a permis de mesurer l'influence de divers paramètres architecturaux de la pile (distance inter-électrodes, surface d’électrodes, ...) et de l'anode (taille de pores, diamètre de fil, ...) sur les performances électriques, avec comme objectif principal de maximiser leur surface spécifique tout en limitant leur colmatage. Des mesures de spectroscopie d'impédance électrochimique ont également été réalisées afin d'étudier plus en détail les différents phénomènes électrochimiques entrant en jeu. Ces anodes 3D inédites s'avèrent prometteuses car elles ont permis d'obtenir des densités de puissance de l'ordre de 200 mW/m² avec un coût d'électrode, comparativement à la littérature, considérablement diminuéMicrobial Fuel Cells (MFCs) allow a portion of the energy contained in biodegradable substrates to be converted directly into electricity through the formation of an electroactive biofilm on the surface of their anode. Future energy harvesting solutions, these bioelectrochemical systems could thus, for example, be used for the autonomous power supply of sensors in isolated zone or be more generally located within wastewater treatment plants. Nevertheless, after about twenty years of development, the performances of PACMs tend to stagnate. The solution frequently used to improve their results is to develop new anode materials by optimizing their structure or their surface but very often neglecting the criteria of longevity, price and transferability on an industrial scale, essential for this application. The objective of this study is to propose efficient anodes, with a simple manufacturing process, cheap and stable over time. Consisting of entangled 304L stainless steel monofilaments, the anodes we develop were initially characterized mechanically (by odometric compression) and from a microstructural point of view (by X-ray tomography). Then, their integration into prototypes of MFCs inoculated with activated sludge made it possible to measure the influence of various architectural parameters of the fuel cell (distance between electrodes, electrode surface, ...) and of the anode ( pore size, wire diameter, ...) on electrical performance, with the main objective of maximizing their specific surface area while limiting their clogging. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements were also carried out in order to study in more detail the different electrochemical phenomena involved. These innovative 3D anodes are promising because they have made it possible to obtain power densities of the order of 200 mW / m² with an electrode cost, compared to the literature, considerably reduced

Full textAbstract:
En 2014, le réseau de pipelines à travers le monde est estimé à près de 3 500 000 km. Ces conduites en acier traversent plusieurs continents, régions, climats et donc différents types de sols. Elles sont protégées contre la corrosion externe par des revêtements et une protection cathodique. Néanmoins, il subsiste toujours un risque infime de dégradation de l’acier. Afin d’évaluer le risque de rupture d’une conduite, il est nécessaire d’étudier l’influence du sol sur la corrosion de l’acier nu non protégé composant cette conduite. Les paramètres régissant la corrosion des aciers dans les sols étant nombreux, nous nous sommes focalisés sur l’un des paramètres clés, à savoir « la teneur en eau » qui est directement reliée à d’autres paramètres très influents comme : l’aération ou taux d’oxygène, la résistivité du sol et la surface active. Dans cette thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés aux phénomènes se produisant lors de périodes transitoires de séchage/humidification de plusieurs types de sols : argileux, limoneux argileux et sableux. Une électrode multi-coupons a aussi été utilisée afin d’étudier les phénomènes liés à l’hétérogénéité de surface (formation de piles d’aération différentielle). Pour cela, différents coupons en acier provenant d’une conduite d’Air Liquide ont été enfouis pendant de longues périodes (4, 6 et 12 mois) dans différents types de sols. Les vitesses de corrosion sont estimées par électrochimie via la modélisation des courbes de voltammétrie autour du potentiel d’abandon. La surface active de l’électrode est estimée via la mesure de la résistance d’électrolyte par spectroscopie d’impédance électrochimique. Les échantillons sont ensuite analysés par micro-spectroscopie Raman, diffraction des rayons X et microscopie (optique, confocale et électronique à balayage) afin de déduire les mécanismes de corrosion de l’acier. Les résultats montrent, notamment, qu’en cas d’un fort taux d’humidité et d’une faible aération, les vitesses de corrosion sont très faibles (de l’ordre de 20 à 30 µm.an-1) mais atteignent 200 à 400 µm.an-1 lors des phases de séchage. La mesure de courants de couplage effectuée avec l’électrode multi-coupons ainsi que l’analyse de surface des coupons conventionnels ont confirmé la présence de piles d’aération différentielle et le caractère localisé de la corrosionIn 2014, the pipelines network extended over 3500000 km worldwide. These pipes are passing through various continents, regions, areas and thus different types of soils. They are protected against external corrosion by coatings and cathodic protection. However, there is always a slight risk of carbon steel degradation. In order to evaluate the pipeline failure threat, it is necessary to study the influence of soil corrosion on the uncoated steel which composes this pipe. There are many parameters governing the steel corrosion in soils. We focused on one of the most important parameter “water content”. It is directly linked to other prominent parameters such as oxygen concentration, soil resistance and active area. In this thesis, we addressed the phenomena occurring at transitory periods of drying and remoistening in different types of soils : clayey, silt-loamy and sandy. A multi-coupon electrode was used as well in order to study the phenomena linked to surface heterogeneity (formation of differential aeration cells). For this aim, several steel coupons were buried in different types of soil for long periods (4, 6 and 12 months). The corrosion rates are estimated via electrochemical methods by fitting with a theoretical law the voltammetric curves acquired around the open circuit potential. The active area of the electrode was estimated via the determination of the soil electrolyte resistance by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Afterwards, the coupons were analyzed by micro-spectroscopy Raman, X-rays diffraction and microscopy in order to understand the corrosion mechanisms. Results showed that in case of very high moisture content and deaerated conditions, the corrosion rates were very weak (about 20 to 30 µm.yr-1) but reached 200 to 400 µm.yr-1 in the drying periods. The galvanic current measurements performed with the multi-coupon electrode and the surface analysis of the conventional electrodes both confirmed the presence of differential aeration cells and the localized nature of the corrosion

Full textAbstract:
L’objet de cette thèse est l’étude des comportements mécanique et à la corrosion d’un nouveau système de fondation, dit pieux SPIRMEC, adapté aux structures légères. Le travail s’est focalisé sur deux grands aspects. Le premier aspect concerne l’analyse du comportement sous chargement axiale des pieux SPIRMEC sur la base de l’expérimentation et de la modélisation numérique dans un sol mou non cohésif. Quant au deuxième aspect, il traite du problème de la corrosion de l’acier constituant le pieu dans un environnement tropical humide. Le comportement des pieux SPIRMEC sous une charge axiale de traction, dans un sol fin non cohésif, a montré le développement d’une surface cylindrique de rupture. Celle-ci ne dépend pas de la configuration géométrique des pieux tel que : l’espacement S, le diamètre d’hélice Dh et le diamètre du tube d. En adoptant ce critère de rupture et à l’aide d’une analyse statistique des données, nous avons proposé quatre méthodes analytiques de prédiction de la capacité portante des pieux SPIRMEC à partir des essais in-situ et au laboratoire qui sont: • Méthode CPT basée sur la résistance de pointe pénétromètrique (essai CPT), • Méthode MPT basée sur la pression limite pressiomètrique (essai MPT), • Méthode du couple d’installation, • Méthode analytique basée sur les paramètres de cisaillement de sol notamment l’angle de frottement interne (essais triaxial et boîte de cisaillement). Ces méthodes tiennent compte de la géométrie du pieu, du procédé de mise en oeuvre et de la compacité du sol. L’analyse de performance des méthodes proposées a montré que les méthodes analytique et CPT représentent mieux le comportement des pieux testés. La modélisation numérique du comportement des pieux SPIRMEC sous charge axiale de traction a été également étudiée à l’aide du code de calcul Plaxis 2D. Un modèle axisymétrique a été adopté pour modéliser la géométrie de la structure. Le modèle de comportement hardening soil a été retenu pour modéliser le comportement élastoplastiq des couches de sol. Un modèle élastique linéaire a été retenu pour le pieu. Quant au comportement de l’interface sol-structure, il a été pris en compte par un modèle élastoplastique basé sur les critères de Mohr-Coulomb. L’expansion du sol résultant de l’installation des pieux a été approchée par une cavité cylindrique. Cette dernière a été modélisée par des déformations volumiques anisotropes. Nous avons constaté, qu’appliquer une déformation volumique de l’ordre de 40% permet une bonne concordance entre les résultats numériques et expérimentaux. L’étude paramétrique nous a également permis de constater l’existence d’une variation linéaire entre la capacité portante et l’espacement S. Le comportement de l’acier galvanisé dans le sol a été également étudié au moyen de trois approches: électrochimique, visuelles grâce au microscope électronique et gravimétrique. Les tests électrochimiques de corrosion du zinc ont été réalisés dans la solution de sol artificielle pour deux périodes bien distinctes : saison des pluies et après 8 mois de contact sol-pieu. Une forte dépendance est constatée de la vitesse de corrosion de zinc au pH et à la conductivité de la solution. La vitesse de corrosion est plus importante en saison des pluies qu’après 8 mois de contact de pieu avec le sol. Les fortes concentrations en sulfates semblent augmenter la vitesse de corrosion. Les analyses menées au MEB montrent que la zone de fluctuation de nappe et en surface externe (sol/air) sont les zones les plus corrodées. La comparaison entre les différentes techniques d’évaluation de la vitesse de corrosion a montré que l’eau de nappe peut être utilisée comme un milieu représentatif du profil chimique d’un sol non cohésif et légèrement granulaireThe purpose of this thesis is to study the both behaviors mechanical and of the corrosion of a new foundation system, called spirec piles, for lightweight structures. The work was based on two main aspects. The first aspect concerns the analysis of behavior of the spirmec piles under axial loading on the basis of experimental and numerical modeling in a non-cohesive soft soil. On the second aspect, it addresses the problem of corrosion of steel forming the pile in a humid tropical environment. The behavior of the tested piles under axial traction load, in a non-cohesive soil, showed the development of a cylindrical surface of failure. This does not depend on the geometrical configuration of the tested piles such that: the spacing s, the helix diameter dh and the diameter of the shaft. By adopting this failure criterion and using statistical data analysis, we proposed four analytical methods for predicting the bearing capacity of the piles from in-situ and laboratory tests, which are: cpt method based on tip resistance penetrometer (cpt test), mpt method based on pressuremeter limit pressure (test mpt), method of installation torque and analytical method based on the shear parameters of soil (triaxial tests and shear box). These methods take into account the geometry of the pile, the method and implementation of soil compaction. Performance analysis of the proposed methods showed that the analytical methods and cpt represent better the behavior of piles tested. An axisymmetric condition was assumed to model this geometry in two-dimensional space. In this study, we proposed to model the pipe screw pile with plates elements available in plaxis 2d. The helixes were modeled as circular disks. Interface elements were incorporated along the pile to simulate the soil-pile interaction. Hardening soil model was chosen to describe the soil with drained behavior was assigned for all layers. Linear elastic for pile and elastic plastic model based on the mohr-coulomb criterion was used to describe the interface behavior. The lateral expansion generated by the pile shaft was modeled by anisotropic volumetric strains (ɛxx=ɛzz, ɛyy=0). The pile behavior under tensile loading at different volumetric strains, it is clear that the best fit was obtained at volumetric strain of 40%. The parametric study also allowed us to establish the existence of a linear variation between the bearing capacity and spacings. The behavior of the galvanized steel in the ground has also been studied using three approaches such as: electrochemical, microscopic imaging and gravimetrically. Electrochemical tests of the corrosion of the zinc have been made in artificial soil solution into two periods, the rainy season and after eight months of contact soil-pile. Is a strong dependence of the observed corrosion rate of the zinc at the ph and conductivity of the solution. The corrosion rate is higher in the rainy season compared to eight months of contact of the pile with soil. High sulfate concentrations increase the rate of corrosion. The meb analysis shows that the fluctuation zone of the water table is the most corroded area.

Full textAbstract:
The effect of modern mechanized girth welding on high strength line pipe has been investigated. The single cycle grain coarsened heat affected zone in three grade 690 line pipe steels and a grade 550 steel has been simulated using a Gleeble thermo-mechanical simulator. The continuous cooling transformation diagrams applicable to the grain coarsened heat affected zone resulting from a range of heat inputs applicable to modern mechanized welding have been established by dilatometry and metallography. The coarse grained heat affected zone was found to transform to lath martensite, bainite, and granular bainite depending on the cooling rate. The impact toughness of the steels was measured using Charpy impact toughness and compared to the toughness of the grain coarsened heat affected zone corresponding to a welding thermal cycle. The ductile to brittle transition temperature was found to be lowest for the steel with the highest hardenability. The toughness resulting from three different thermal cycles including a novel interrupted intercritically reheated grain coarsened (NTR ICR GC HAZ) that can result from dual torch welding at fast travel speed and close torch spacing have been investigated. All of the thermally HAZ regions showed reduced toughness that was attributed to bainitic microstructure and large effective grain sizes. Continuous cooling transformation diagrams for five weld metal chemistries applicable to mechanized pulsed gas metal arc welding of modern high strength pipe steel (SMYS>550 MPa) have been constructed. Welds at heat inputs of 1.5 kJmm-1 and 0.5 kJmm-1 have been created for simulation and analysis. Dilatometric analysis was performed on weld metal specimens cut from single pass 1.5 kJmm-1 as deposited beads. The resulting microstructures were found to range from martensite to polygonal ferrite. There is excellent agreement between the simulated and as deposited weld metal regions. Toughness testing indicates improved energy absorption at -20 °C with increased cooling time.L'effet des méthodes modernes de soudage circonférentiel mécanisé sur des aciers à forte résistance utilisés pour les tubes de canalisation a été investigué. La zone affectée thermiquement ayant subi une croissance de grain lors d'un cycle thermique simple de soudage a été simulée pour trois grades d'acier à tubes de canalisation 690 et un grade d'acier 550 à l'aide d'un appareil de simulation thermomécanique Gleeble. Les diagrammes de transformation en refroidissement continu pour la zone affectée thermiquement ayant subi une croissance de grains ont été établis pour un spectre de chaleur induite représentatif du procédé de soudage mécanisé en utilisant la dilatométrie ainsi que des analyses métallographiques. Il résulte que la zone affectée thermiquement ayant subi une croissance de grain connaît un changement de phase vers une martensite massive, une bainite ou une bainite granulaire selon le taux de refroidissement rencontré. La résistance des aciers étudiés a été mesurée par essais Charpy et comparée à la résistance obtenue pour la zone affectée thermiquement ayant subi une croissance de grains correspondant à un cycle thermique de soudage. Le plus bas température de transition ductile-fragile a été obtenue pour les grades d'acier ayant la plus grande aptitude à la trempe. La résistance résultante des structures obtenues pour trois différents cycles thermique, notamment un nouveau cycle thermique interrompu par recuit intercritique similaire à l'effet que peut avoir un soudage à double torche à déplacement rapide et espacement réduit, a été étudié. Toutes les zones affectée thermiquement montrent une baisse de résistance causée par l'apparition d'une structure bainitique et la croissance des grains.Les diagrammes de transformations en refroidissement continu ont été établis pour 5 alliages de soudage applicable pour le soudage pulsé à l'arc sous gas des aciers à tube modernes à haute résistance. Des soudures avec un apport de chaleur de 1,5 kJmm-1 et 0,5 kJmm-1 ont été utilisées pour les simulations et les analyses. Des essais de dilatométrie ont été faits sur des échantillons prélevés des cordons de soudure déposés en une passe à 1,5 kJmm-1. L'observation métallographique des échantillons présente une structure allant de la martensite à la ferrite polygonale. Une excellente concordance a été établie entre la structure du métal obtenu par simulation et telle que déposé. Les tests de résistance indiquent une amélioration de l'énergie absorbée à -20°C lorsque le temps de refroidissement est plus long.

PETRÓLEO BRASILEIRO S. A.Neste trabalho são apresentados os efeitos do processo de curvamento a quente por indução na microestrutura e nas propriedades mecânicas do tubo API 5L X80, fabricado pelo processo UOE, com chapa produzida através do processo de laminação controlada sem resfriamento acelerado. O curvamento foi realizado com aquecimento localizado, provocado por uma bobina de alta freqüência, seguido de resfriamento por jatos de água. O tubo curvado foi avaliado e comparado com o tubo reto. Adicionalmente, foi realizado um tratamento térmico de revenido em parte da região curvada. Foram realizados ensaios mecânicos de tração, microdureza e impacto Charpy-V, análises dimensionais e avaliação microestrutural. Verificou-se uma alteração significativa na microestrutura da região curvada, resultando em uma curva com menores valores de temperatura de transição e limite de escoamento inferior ao do tubo original e ao requerido por norma. O tratamento térmico aplicado na região curvada, mostrou-se eficiente para elevar o limite de escoamento para valores acima do mínimo especificado pela norma API 5L para o X80.
The present work discusses the effect of the induction bending process on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of an API 5L X80, 20 pipe produced by the UOE process. The key characteristic of the pipe was the manufacturing process of the steel plate, involving thermomechanical controlled rolling without accelerated cooling. The pipe bending was carried out applying local induction heating followed by water quenching and a further temper heat treatment was applied to the curved section. The methodology of analysis compared the curved section with the original body pipe, taking into account dimensional analysis, microstructural evaluation and mechanical tests which included Charpy-V impact, tensile and microhardness. A significant microstructural change and decrease, not only in the transition temperature, but also in the yield strength ocurred after induction bending, this reduction was below the standard requirements. The subsequent tempering heat treatment applied to the curved section produced an increase in the yield strength to achieve the API 5L requirements for this class of steel.

Full textAbstract:
Bridges and other coastal structures in Georgia and throughout the Southeast are deteriorating prematurely due to corrosion. Numerous corrosion
initiated failures have occurred in precast prestressed concrete (PSC) piles and reinforced concrete (RC) pile caps, leading to the costly repair and
replacement of either the entire bridge or the affected members. With the Federal Highway Administration's goal of a 100-year bridge service life
and recent legislative action such as the Bridge Life Extension Act, new emphasis has been placed on the development and implementation of new
corrosion mitigation techniques.
This thesis involves the mechanical testing, and proposed future test program of high-strength stainless steel (HSSS) prestressing strand to be used
in prestressed marine bridge piles. The metallurgy for two types of HSSS strand was selected from a previous study of the corrosion resistance,
mechanical properties, and feasibility of 6 candidate HSSS drawn wire samples. Duplex stainless steel (DSS) grades 2205 and 2304 were selected
for production of 7-wire 1/2" diameter prestressing strand. DSS wire rod was drawn, stranded, and heat-treated using the same production methods
and equipment as used for standard of practice, high carbon prestressing strand. The production process was documented to analyze the problems
facing this production method and suggest improvement and optimization.
After production, the strands were subjected to a series of mechanical tests. Tension testing was performed to provide a stress-strain curve for the
strands and related mechanical properties. Wire samples were also taken at varying points in the drawing process to give more information about
the work hardening of the stainless steels. Stress relaxation testing was performed on both strand and wire samples to assess the overall losses and
to provide comparisons between strand and wire test results as well as drawn wires before and after heat-treatment.
An experimental program for future study was designed to assess the HSSS prestressing strand behavior in precast piles. This testing involves
assessment of pile driving performance, pile flexural and shear behavior, strand transfer and development length, long-term prestressing force
losses, and material durability.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with the experimental description of friction between steel and wood materials, specifically laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and pine wood with two types of annual rings. It studies the influence of a number of different parameters on the coefficient of friction such as contact pressure, moisture content, fiber orientation in relation to the load direction, steel surface roughness, and horizontal load rate. First, the theoretical mechanical and physical properties as well as the coefficient of friction itself are described. This is followed by the description of the test setup including the test method and how the obtained data is exported, handled and processed and how the coefficient of friction is determined. The results study the influence of different parameters and show that the coefficients of friction for the smooth sliding plate tests vary in between 0.1 and 0.3, whereas tests with the rough sliding plate vary around 0.7. Factors influencing the coefficient of friction were found to be the different moisture content under all tested pressures, the different fiber direction under low contact pressure, the contact pressure itself, though under higher pressures the influence was found to be low, and the horizontal load rate under low pressures. The outcomes are further discussed in the discussion chapter.

Full textAbstract:
In the continuous casting of steel shapes, a tundish feeds the molten steel alloy into oscillating moulds. Therefore, a better knowledge of some of the parameters of the steel in this phase of the process will lead to better quality with more productivity and in a safer environment. There are many control parameters to be measured in the tundish, especially on a continuous basis, yet in this project we are focused on the following 3 main ones that are the basics of tundish metallurgy: the temperature of the steel, the thickness of the slag, and the composition of the steel.A viewing tube capable of withstanding the intense environment of the steel tundish enables one to obtain information about temperature, slag thickness and composition of the melt on a continuous basis. This probe based on heat pipe technology has been designed and fabricated and tested in two different environments. One was in gaseous environment in a natural gas filled furnace. The other environment in which the heat pipe has been tested was in a molten aluminum bath. The results of the first experiments showed that the heat pipe is capable of extracting 23 kW at a heat flux of 0.5 MW/m while in the next set of tests the heat pipe could not overcome the film boiling limitation. This was a result of the internal design of the pipe, thus, some design modifications are suggested to solve the problem.Dans la coulée en continu pour produire des formes en acier, un panier de coulée alimente des moules basculants en acier en fusion. Par conséquence, une meilleure connaissance de certains des paramètres de l'acier dans cette phase du processus permettra d'améliorer la qualité ainsi que la productivité dans un environnement plus sûr. Il y a beaucoup de paramètres de contrôle qui peuvent être mesurés dans le panier de coulée, surtout sur une base continue, cependant cette étude concerne les trois principaux qui représentent la base fondamentale métallurgique du panier de coulée : la température de l'acier, l'épaisseur des scories, et la composition de l'acier.Un tube capable de résister à l'environnement intense du panier de coulée et permettant l'observation in-situ a été utilisé pour obtenir l'un rend capable d'obtenir des informations sur la température, l'épaisseur de scories et la composition du fond sur une base continue. Cette sonde fondée sur la technologie des caloducs a été conçue, fabriquée et essayée dans deux environnements différents. L'un était dans un environnement gazeux dans une fournaise alimentée en gaz naturel. L'autre environnement dans lequel le caloduc a été essayé était dans un bain d'aluminium en fusion. Les résultats des premières expériences ont montré que le caloduc est capable d'extraire 23 kW à un flux de chaleur de 0,5 MW/m pendant que dans la prochaine série de tests le caloduc ne pouvait pas surmonter la limite imposée par le film qui bout. Ceci était un résultat de la conception interne du caloduc, ainsi, quelques modifications de conception sont suggérées pour résoudre le problème.

Full textAbstract:
Chemical composition of structural steels with a ferrite-pearlite microstructure has been developing towards decreasing carbon content, to increase weldability, with increased microalloying element content, to provide grain refinement, solid solution and precipitation strengthening. During the UOE forming of large diameter (more than 400 mm) welded pipes the strength drop from plate to pipe, as a result of reverse deformation (the Bauschinger effect), depends on steel grade, namely microalloying element content, and processing. In this project the microstructure of two Nb- and V-microalloyed steels has been studied with optical, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The dislocation density and (Ti,Nb,V,Cu)-rich particle diameter, volume fraction and number density were measured for as-rolled and annealed (30 min. at 400 \(^0\)C and 550 \(^0\)C) steels. The Bauschinger effect was measured during compression-tension testing for the same steel conditions. The yield stress drop during reverse deformation has been found to increase with an increase in forward pre-strain, dislocation density and particle number density within the effective particle diameter range of 12-50 nm. On the basis of dislocation-particle interaction analysis, a quantitative model of work-hardening behaviour dependence on particle number density and dislocation density has been derived for the reverse deformation of studied steel grades.
