The Development of a Novel Steel Reinforced Composite (SRC) Liner for the Rehabilitation of Deteriorated PCCP

Abstract
This paper presents details for the development of an innovative steel reinforced composite (SRC) system used for prestressed concrete cylinder pipes (PCCP) remediation. SRC system is a trenchless technology that consists of high strength steel wires continuously wrapped inside the pipe and embedded in cementitious or polymeric matrix. The system was designed to address shortcomings of current PCCP remediation techniques such as replacement, cured-in-place pipe CIPP, slip lining, and jacketing with fiber reinforced polymers (FRP). Full scale pressure testing was performed on two 1676 mm (66 in.) diameter PCCP sections, with and without the SRC system. Part or all of the existing pre-stressing wires in the host pipes were cut to simulate the behavior of a damaged PCCP during the test. Results indicate that while the unstrengthened pipe failed at a low pressure with partial wires cut, the SRC system was able to restore 100% of the original design capacity of the host pipe with 100% of the original prestressing wires cut. SRC design procedure, full scale pressure tests and results, and final conclusions are included in this paper.
