Abstract:One of the current pressing problem for all DOTs is the corrosion-oriented deterioration of the existing metal culverts. These metal culverts typically are designed for a life of 50 years. However, corrosion is making them last no longer than 30years. Here we propose use of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) pipe section as a fit-in GFRP profile liner for complete repair and rehabilitation of the corroded metal culvert with an expected life of 75 years. This is mainly because of the corrosion free nature of the GFRP material. In the current study, the design method for using glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) slip liner to retrofit CMP culvert is presented. Furthermore, this report presents field implementation of retrofitting of a 24 in corroded corrugated metal pipe embedded that is 25 ft span and buried below 18 of soil. The corroded corrugated metal pipe was retrofitted with a 22 in diameter GFRP slip liner. Load testing before and after the retrofitting proves the efficiency of the proposed retrofitting system and its ability to extend the service life of the retrofitted pipe. The total size of the described zip file is 12.64 MB. JPG files can be opened using the system's photo viewer. Files with the .xlsx extension are Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files. These can be opened in Excel or open-source spreadsheet programs. A file that ends in .m are files written in Objective-C. They help initialize variables and functions from other Objective-C source files. They can be viewed with Apple Xcode or using an iOS simulator. This file is used in conjunction with the .MAT file, which is a binary data container format used by MATLAB, an open source program.

Content Notes:National Transportation Library (NTL) Curation Note: As this dataset is preserved in a repository outside U.S. DOT control, as allowed by the U.S. DOT's Public Access Plan (https://doi.org/10.21949/1503647) Section 7.4.2 Data, the NTL staff has performed NO additional curation actions on this dataset. The current level of dataset documentation is the responsibility of the dataset creator. NTL staff last accessed this dataset at its repository URL on 2022-11-11. If, in the future, you have trouble accessing this dataset at the host repository, please email NTLDataCurator@dot.gov describing your problem. NTL staff will do its best to assist you at that time.
