Types of Retaining Walls - Structural Engineers

Retaining walls are structure used to retain soil, rock or other materials in a vertical condition. Hence they provide a lateral support to vertical slopes of soil that would otherwise collapse into a more natural shape. Most common materials used for retaining walls are:

DUCTILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDINGS

the brittle failure as result of inelastic deformation can be avoided only if the concrete is made to behave in a ductile manner so that the member can absorb and dissipate large amount of energy. Hence in the case of reinforced concrete members subjected to inelastic deformation, not only strength but also ductility plays vital role in the design.

Moreover, during a major earthquake, in ductile structures where the diaphragms are designed to remain essentially elastic, the superstructure

Reliable corrosion inhibition in the oil and gas industry

The objective of the work was to undertake a literature review on the subject of corrosion inhibition in the offshore oil and gas industry to understand the current issues. The application of chemical corrosion inhibitors can significantly reduce the rate of corrosion of carbon steel pipelines due to the presence of CO2 and/or H2S.

BONDSTRAND™ - NOV Inc.

Historically, offshore production platform, drilling rig and FPSO owners and operators have had to face the grim reality of continuously replacing most metal piping because of severe corrosion. This has resulted in piping systems costing two or three times the original investment since steel and metal pipe systems are very costly to maintain.
