Thanks for the post. I read over a couple of the pages, but I dont think this is what I am looking for. But thank you anyways.
I am looking for the regulations (EPA / Clean Water Act / SPCC) that dictate what the requirments for secondary containment are for "piping" between...
All,
Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding the requirements for secondary containment for facility piping.
The piping varies in size and is steel/metal pipe. Some of the pipe has threaded fittings, some is welded.
Thanks for all your help.

I am working for a concractor on a restoration of an existing 2 story building. The building has a foot print of 50ft x 300ft. The building has a concrete floor system for the 2nd floor. The restoration project requires some extensive modifications to the existing truss system that...
I have had personal experience with this and used the forms on the SJI website. Follow the link that RCraine has posted above. They got back to me with in a few hours and even provided answers and information to follow up questions.
A column footing that I was inspecting yesterday was made of concrete that had visable "Seashells" on the surface. This was not an archtectural feature. The footing was under a wooden floor and was not intended to be seen. A forman called the concrete "Tabby Concrete". He said that this type...
All,
Frist thanks to all that provided help.
Second, I am sorry for labeling the method of flexural design "Strain Compatibility". The method is a strength design process. I have always associated the fps equation that is located in section 18.7.2 as "strain compatibility" since it is...
Friends,
I am a relatively new engineer, assigned to train some new engineers prestress design (Get them up to speed on basics). Currently we are reviewing flexural design and using the strain compatiability process.
We are at the point of choosing a value for "gamma,p" Factor for...
One of the new products that are available to precast manufacuters is admixtures that prevent the growth microbial induced corrosion.
The corrosion occurs when gas is released do to turbulence in the sewer line. This gas is a breeding ground for the bacteria that produce the acid that eats the...
Friends,
I am looking for resources that would cover the bending radius required for Manhole Inverts.
I checked a Pipe Fittings book and there is no standard from what I could see (I.E. 1.5 x Diameter of Pipe). Thanks for any help.

Friends,
I am a utilities precast engineer that usually deals with slabs and wall thickness that are 10" or less.
A project that we have been chasing requires 12" thick walls and a 16" base slab that will be monolythcally poured.
Original Design calls for one layer of steel in the center...
Friends,
I work for a precaster and design underground structures. I have an enclosed structure that is buried 45~50 deep from the top of the structure. I am determining the loads and was wondering if I could be a little less conservative than taking the unit weight of the soil x the depth...
Friends,
In an effor to reduce our rework dollars for the upcoming business year we are looking at some of the more costly problems that we have with our process. One problem is stripping the product early or when it is to "green".
I have been asked to find out if there is a test that can...
Friends,
I am trying to determine all of the loads on a underground strucutre (5 Diameter) Atleast 9' deep. The structure is 22' away from a rail road line. Do I need to worry about a lateral surcharge from the railroad.
Thanks
