Methods for calculating the impact composites have on the environment enable data-driven comparisons to traditional materials on a level playing field.
Based on the successful performance of previous composite bridge decks installed in Hamilton County, Ohio, highway engineers recently took a bold step, specifying an integrated composite bridge superstructure — that is, deck and support beams together in one unit — to replace a deficient span known as Eight Mile Bridge.
Around 1982, offshore platforms began using dry deluge systems, where the ring main is kept full of seawater but the downstream piping is dry. The dry piping is separated from the ring main by deluge valves, which automatically open and distribute water through the dry pipe to spray nozzles during a fire. This
Composites aren't as new as we think, but they are ever in the process of renewal. Their past predates recorded history when ancient man fulfilled the modern definition of a composite by assembling readily available, easily formed materials: huts made from mud bricks reinforced with straw and boats from bundles of
Building code changes and growing architect familiarity feed more frequent composites use in large-scale commercial construction.
Carbon fiber/vinyl ester reinforcement extends the structural life of architectural and art-world landmark.
With crude prices at historic highs, oil and gas companies now have the incentive to actively engage in exploration and production (E&P) in many offshore areas worldwide.
Teaming composites with traditional materials may be the future direction for cost-effective infrastructure replacement.
