In this paper an experimental program has been carried out in order to compare compressive strength fcand elastic static modulus Ecof recycled concrete with ultrasonic waves velocity Vp, to establish the possibility of employing nondestructive ultrasonic tests to qualify recycled concrete. 9 mix of concrete with different substitution percentage of recycled aggregates instead of natural ones and 27 cylindrical samples have been made. At first ultrasonic tests have been carried out on cylindrical samples, later elastic static modulus Ecand compressive strength fchave been experimentally evaluated. The dynamic elastic modulus Edhas been determined in function of ultrasonic wave velocity Vp; furthermore the correlations among Ed, Ec, fce Vphave been determined. It has been demonstrated that ultrasonic tests are suitable for evaluating different deformative and resisting concrete performances even when variations are small.

Good Agreement

With the increasing application of electrofusion (EF) welding in connecting polyethylene (PE) pipes for gas distribution, more effort has been invested to ensure the safety of the pipeline systems. The objective of this paper is to investigate and understand the temperature distribution during EF welding. A one-dimensional transient heat-transfer model was proposed, taking the variation in the rate of power input, the phase transition of PE, and the thermal contact conductance between heating wire and PE into consideration. Then, experiments were designed to verify the power input and the temperature. The measured values of the power input were shown to be in good agreement with the analytical results. Based on ultrasonic test (UT), a new “Eigen-line” method was presented, which overcomes the difficulties found in the thermocouples’ temperature measurements. The results demonstrate good agreements between prediction and experiment. Finally, based on the presented model, a detailed parametric study was carried out to investigate the influences of the variation in the power input, the physical properties of PE, and the thermal contact conductance between heating wire and surrounding PE.

Deepwater Risers

Recent incidents with drilling risers in the Gulf of Mexico have led the industry’s application of more stringent integrity assurance requirements to its deepwater risers. Riser monitoring provides information that enables the operator to measure riser configurations and fatigue damage, confirm the integrity of the riser, assist with operational decisions, optimize inspection, maintenance and repair schedules /procedures and calibrate design tools. Monitoring can also improve the understanding of complex behavior of risers for the improvement to future design and analysis tools. This paper presents the characters of three different monitoring systems that suit specific objectives and requirements. An example project of acoustic approach is introduced with its working mode and design scheme.
