Publisher's Synopsis
Concrete pipe has been in use for over 100 years and has not been replaced by any other material - especially for use in drainage pipes. The book touches all aspects of concrete pipes right from inception, design manufacture, laying, maintenance and so on. Spinning technology is fully described from both a practical and theoretical point of view, which is useful to all concrete pipe manufacturers. The book also offers the latest approach to hydraulics, right from determination of surface roughness to selection of appropriate value for 'C' in Hazen & Williams Formula, a case study of 50-year- old pipe to estimate the durability or the life of concrete pipe.
