Corrosion Management System Of Regional Reinforced Concrete (Rc) Bridges, Homero Castaneda, Ayman Okeil
Corrosion Management System Of Regional Reinforced Concrete (Rc) Bridges, Homero Castaneda, Ayman Okeil
Data
Civil infrastructure assets, including buildings, transportation networks, energy grids and networks, and water-sewer systems, are critical functional components of day-to-day life activity in a modern society. The durability and reliability of these civil infrastructures are largely affected by corrosion-induced structural deterioration. In addition to continual use and increasing traffic demands, natural environmental conditions set degradation due to corrosion damage as a critical condition to durable and reliable infrastructures. Therefore, in order to improve the durability of the bridge infrastructures affected by corrosion in the most efficient manor, we propose a procedure/methodology to manage integrity of corroding RC bridges which is …

Malfunction Analysis In The Freight Cars Used In Uzbekistan And Measures For Their Elimination, Nodir Botirovich Adilov
Malfunction Analysis In The Freight Cars Used In Uzbekistan And Measures For Their Elimination, Nodir Botirovich Adilov
Journal of Tashkent Institute of Railway Engineers
This article uses the analysis of malfunctions of the load-carrying apparatus of freight car structures used in Uzbekistan. The reasons for the occurrence of malfunctions in the load car structures are studied. It seems that in order to determine the technical condition of the device, it is possible to increase the reliability of the stored device by making the correct conclusion from the fault signs derived from the design parameters using information received from the controlled stands.
Reliability Analysis Of Concrete Gravity Dams Under Earthquake Loads, Anu Abraham
Reliability Analysis Of Concrete Gravity Dams Under Earthquake Loads, Anu Abraham
LSU Master's Theses
Dams are infrastructure assets of extreme importance; the failure of which can have catastrophic consequences on adjacent communities. Therefore, it is prudent for authorities to evaluate the safety of existing dams in seismically active regions. This thesis focuses on carrying out a reliability analysis of concrete gravity dams under earthquake loads using an enhanced finite element model. For many years, reliability studies on concrete gravity dams were performed using a finite element model that considered a massless foundation and assumed that water is incompressible. Moreover, the design ground motion was applied without any modification either at the bottom fixed boundary …
Calculation Of Operational Suitability And Reliability Of Structures, Nodira Ziyayevna Saatova, Abdurakhman Asimovich Ishankhodjaev
Calculation Of Operational Suitability And Reliability Of Structures, Nodira Ziyayevna Saatova, Abdurakhman Asimovich Ishankhodjaev
Journal of Tashkent Institute of Railway Engineers
With the acquisition of independence of our Republic in the system of transport communications, great importance was attached to the qualitative improvement of the design, construction, and operation of aboveground structures. Many tasks have been performed to increase the reliability and strength analysis of these bridges. Along with these, improving methods for calculating the resource of artificial structures in the system of transport communications are required. The Strategy for the Further Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan, including the following tasks: "... implementation of targeted programs for the development and modernization of road transport, engineering, communication, and social infrastructures, ...". …
Method For Evaluating The Residual Resource Of Long Designs, Sergey Vladimirovich Chizhov, Ulugbek Zabixullayevich Shermuxamedov, Sharofat Shavkatovna Kadirova
Method For Evaluating The Residual Resource Of Long Designs, Sergey Vladimirovich Chizhov, Ulugbek Zabixullayevich Shermuxamedov, Sharofat Shavkatovna Kadirova
Journal of Tashkent Institute of Railway Engineers
The article describes a method for calculating the safety of extended structures, in particular tunnels. The probabilistic approach to solving the problem is analyzed using the reliability of the structure with the probability of failure-free operation and assessment of the residual life of the structure. These characteristics make it possible to predict the residual life of the structure within a time value until the design has exhausted its ultimate state. An assessment of the operational reliability of the structure is carried out by measuring and establishing existing structural defects. Based on the data obtained, an analysis was carried out and …

A persistent challenge in integrated water management is the ability to accurately evaluate human and ecological tradeoffs. Two-dimensional (2D) hydraulic models are frequently used to evaluate water management alternatives concerning aquatic species physical habitat needs or preferences. Recent studies have assessed the timing or duration of suitable habitat conditions, but no standardized approach exists to integrate and interpret ecohydraulic model outputs within a water management framework. Such an approach is needed to maximize the information obtained from model outputs and to facilitate communication between river scientists and water managers. This study presents a general framework to aggregate and summarize 2D …
Análisis Por Confiabilidad Del Modelo De Diseño Aashto 93 Para Pavimentos Flexibles En El Valle De Aburrá, Mario Santiago Hernández, Juan Pablo Osorio, Juan Camilo Viviescas
Análisis Por Confiabilidad Del Modelo De Diseño Aashto 93 Para Pavimentos Flexibles En El Valle De Aburrá, Mario Santiago Hernández, Juan Pablo Osorio, Juan Camilo Viviescas
Books/Book Chapters
La necesidad de construir pavimentos con mejores especificaciones técnicas y mayores períodos de servicio requiere de una modelación rigurosa de la variabilidad en las propiedades geotécnicas con el fin de garantizar la confiabilidad de estas estructuras. Por lo tanto, se realizó un análisis basado en la confiabilidad del método Aashto-93, considerando la variabilidad geotécnica del suelo, asociada al módulo resiliente de la subrasante. Los diseños por confiabilidad fueron efectuados de acuerdo con las categorías, parámetros y estructuras establecidas por el Manual de diseño de pavimentos asfálticos en vías con medios y altos volúmenes de tránsito, de 1998, del Instituto Nacional …
