Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drainage infrastructure systems (culvert, storm sewer, outfall and related drainage elements) are mostly buried underground and are in need of special attention in terms of proactive/preventive asset management strategy. Drainage infrastructure systems represent an integral portion of roadway assets that routinely require inspection, maintenance, repair and renewal. Further challenges are the wide geospatial distribution of these infrastructure assets and environmental exposure. There has been considerable research conducted on culverts, but mostly looked at the problem from a traditional structural/geotechnical perspective. Asset management procedures for culverts and drainage infrastructure systems are complex issues, and can benefit a great deal from an optimal asset management program that draws from programs pertaining to buried pipes. The first and most important step in an asset management initiative is the establishment of mechanism for asset inventory and asset conditions in a format compatible with the routine procedures of field operators and inspectors. The first objective of this research project was to develop field protocols and operational business rules for inventory data collection and management and inspection of drainage infrastructures in terms of types of data to be collected, frequency of inspection, and analysis and reporting mechanisms. After review of these protocols by the project oversight committee, a pilot study was conducted to verify efficiency of their implementation. The condition assessment protocol introduced is useful in evaluating the overall condition of culverts and can be used for decision making regarding the repair, renewal or replacement of culverts. For the second objective of this project, investigators examined the inventory and inspection protocols employed by Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and developed a decision support platform, which establishes a link between the inspection results and appropriate repair, renewal and replacement procedures. After applying the recommended procedures, the transportation agencies can better track the conditions of culverts thereby reducing the risks of culvert failures.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration there are more than 4.1 million miles of road in total length, making it the world's longest and biggest road network with millions of culverts hidden underneath the road in the UnitedStates. The development of underground infrastructure, concerns about environmental impacts, and economic trends are influencing society, resulting in the advancement of technology for more environment-friendly and cost-effective pipeline rehabilitation. Trenchless technologies employ innovative methods, materials, and equipment that require minimum surface excavation and access area for rehabilitation of old and deteriorated culverts. Trenchless technologies can be used when other conventional methods, such as open-cut methods, are not applicable or cost-effective. Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is an analytical method used to evaluate long-term investment options,and facilitate the associated costs which consist of three main modules as construction, environmental, and social costs. The main objective of this dissertation is to develop a machine learning-based prediction model for the comprehensive construction and environmental costs of trenchless cementitious spray-applied pipe linings (SAPLs), cured-in-place pipe with polyester resin (CIPP), and sliplining with high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe methods by evaluation and analysis of the construction and environmental costs based on the actual data. The secondary objective of this dissertation is to compare and analyze the results of construction and environmental costs for SAPL, CIPP, and sliplining in large diameter culverts. Developing a model for construction and environmental costs of a pipeline renewal is an essential element when considering sustainable renewal and replacement of underground infrastructure. Project owners, decision-makers, design and consulting, and contractors commonly may take into consideration the construction costs only, and sometimes overlook the environmental aspects while making a choice among trenchless methods. An actual bid data from 7 Departments of Transportation in the U.S. were used for this dissertation to evaluate and develop a prediction model for construction and environmental costs of large diameter trenchless SAPL, CIPP, and sliplining renewal methods. The results of this dissertation shows that host pipe length, diameter, location, renewal material and thickness were the key factors to construction costs. Material components, the volume of materials, material transportation, project duration and location, and installation equipment were the main influencing factors to environmental costs. Comparing environmental costs of SAPL, CIPP and sliplining, SAPL has the lowest and CIPP has the highest costs. The 60-in. diameter is the threshold for changing environmental cost difference between SAPL and the CIPP methods. Above 60-in.diameter, the environmental cost difference between CIPP and SAPL will increase by more than 50%. For diameters 78 in. to 108 in., the environmental costs of CIPP and sliplining are slightly the same and become twice SAPL application. In addition, the difference between mean construction costs of sliplining and SAPL in 72 in. diameter is 120 times more than that of 30 in. diameter. Diameter of culverts makes a significant difference for construction costs of SAPL and sliplining as increasing culvert diameter will make the sliplining more costly. It can be concluded that many quantifiable factors impact SAPL, CIPP, and sliplining construction and environmental costs for large diameter culverts. The prediction model developed in this dissertation provides a tool to compare and evaluate environmental and construction costs of SAPL, CIPP and sliplining for large diameter culverts and storm sewers.
