Risk of GRP Panel Failure During Installation in Sewers When Using Relining Technology
Publication: Vulnerability, Uncertainty, and Risk: Quantification, Mitigation, and Management
Abstract
In this paper, analysis of risk of the new glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) panel failure during installation in sewers with the use of short relining technology, was investigated. Although past experience indicates that the assembly phase poses a significant risk of panel failure, structural analysis for this phase is usually not carried out at the design stage. The paper presents results of numerical analysis based on the author's computational model for egg-shaped panels which was carried out for the assembly phase. States of stress and deformation were analyzed during grout distribution for different methods of protecting panels. The results of analysis allow for a more accurate selection of method for protecting GRP panels against failure during the assembly phase, which can reduce the risk of its occurrence and reduce the time and cost of renovation which will make this non-disruptive technology more competitive than traditional methods.
