Effect of Static Load on Cast Iron Drainage Manhole Coverijtsrd
Drainage manhole covers are widely used in sanitary sewer and storm water systems in world. However, technical information regarding their structural aspects is limited. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of main parameters that impact the design of manhole cover. A three-dimensional finite element model for circular manhole cover was developed using AutoCAD, solid works and NX. The 3d model was analyzed by ANSYS for different parameters like different load and different material. Here cast iron is used as material of cover. The load condition was applied for two type of cover one without stiffer and with stiffer. Dhruvkumar Joshi | Hardik C.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

“Originally, the project was designed using rein-
forced concrete pipe in order to meet FAA [Federal
Aviation Administration] specifications,” Pentecost
said. “But I liked the idea of fewer joints. Generally, in
concrete pipe, that is where we have the most issues,
and, on that airfield, most of the pipe was fairly deep.”
In addition to meeting long-life and other perfor-
mance criteria, the pipe would need to provide an
efficient means of installation. Safety and speed
were critical factors.
“Speed was the key,” Pentecost said. “There are
only two runways, so shutting down one for an
extended period of time to install the pipe was not
a favorable option.”
The bid specifications from Waggoner Eng.
included a thermoplastic pipe from Advanced
Drainage Systems Inc. (ADS) and called for ADS HP
pipe to be considered as an alternate.
ADS HP pipe is a high-performance polypropylene
pipe designed and manufactured for gravity-flow storm
drainage applications. It couples advanced polypropyl-
ene resin technology with a dual-wall profile design
for performance and durability. The smooth interior
wall offers additional strength as well as flow. The
pipe meets ASTM F2736, ASTM F2881 and AASHTO
M330 for the respective diameters. It is approved for
use by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for storm
drainage applications.
The pipe has a patented extended, reinforced
bell with a polymer composite band and dual gas-
kets that add safety within each joint. Joint perfor-
mance meets or exceeds the 10.8 psi laboratory
performance standards per ASTM D3212 require-
ments. Pipe sections are 20 ft long and can be
easily moved with minimal equipment and crew. In
addition to its use in storm water drainage, the pipe
also is used in other under-pavement airport areas,
including deicing pads, runways and taxiways.
“The ADS HP pipe fit the specifications and,
at the same time, the FAA was in the process of
approving that pipe,” Pentecost said. “It all just kind
of fell together.
“It was after we advertised the project that the
FAA approved the pipe. So we included it as an alter-
nate by addendum prior to the bid. For Hemphill
Construction, this was the first time they used it, and
they seemed to like it because the pipe was easy to
handle and install,” he said.
Taking the Field
The multiphase project began in January 2015
and was completed in the fall. The system was
designed for a 25-year storm. The WEI/AJA team
reevaluated the hydraulics of the entire field and
resized some areas that had added or expanded
buildings and parking lots. The watertight pipe
ranged from 24 to 60 in. in diameter, and traditional
precast structures also were used.
The new pipe was installed as the old RCP was
being removed, using the same pathway. Burial
depth ranged from 4 to 16 ft and averaged 8 to 10 ft.
Pentecost and his team planned to specify a
granular material for bedding in the design process,
but ADS preferred to use a select sandy material
instead of having granular material to the springline
of the pipe and another backfill material above it.
“It sped up construction for sure,” Pentecost
said of the pipe. “Every piece of pipe we installed
required at least one taxiway closure. During
construction, staging and closures were required
throughout, so the quicker the crew could com-
plete an area, the more convenient it was for every-
one at the airport.”

n November 2015, a new storm water drainage
system was completed in Jackson, Miss., for
the Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International
Airport (JAN). The airport has two runways
and encompasses some 3,300 acres. It ser-
vices approximately 20 commercial aircraft
daily and also is home to the 172nd
Airlift Wing of the
Mississippi Air National Guard.
An integral part of the project’s required
installed efficiency was the use of 13,000 ft of
thermoplastic pipe in diameters up to 5 ft. The new
pipe was used to replace reinforced concrete pipe
(RCP) that was failing, and also for new runs. The
project was designed and overseen by WEI/AJA,
a joint venture between Waggoner Eng. and AJA
Management & Technical Services, both of Jackson.
“The project was initiated because the airport
was having issues maintaining the airfield,” said Will
Pentecost, P.E., project manager for WEI/AJA. “The
original concrete pipe had reached its design life. It
had been in the ground for well over 60 years and it
was starting to experience joint failures, causing sink-
holes, which were safety risks. What they had was a
safety issue for maintenance personnel, and the sink-
holes could have caused damage to an aircraft. There
were some large sinkholes on the airfield where they
were losing material through the concrete pipe joints.
Also, if the drainage could not be maintained, it would
allow water to accumulate and would have been a
concern because birds would congregate there and
increase the potential for bird strikes.
“We conducted an evaluation of all the storm
drainage on the airfield and compiled a report on
the condition of each pipe run and inlet. We then
designed a project to meet the airport’s budget and
needs at the time and to immediately address the
worst areas,” he said.
