Prestressed concrete pipeline failures, and some laboratory investigations into stress corrosion cracking

$15.00

In the winter of 1986, a burst occurred in a 1,5m diameter prestressed concrete watermain, carrying water at a pressure of 88m head. The peak flow of water through the burst was estimated at about 1000M1 per day, and the total discharge before the burst was isolated, at 140 M1.
