Prepared by the Horizontal Auger Boring Task Force of the Trenchless Installation of Pipelines Committee. Sponsored by the Utilities Engineering and Surveying Institute of ASCE Horizontal Auger Boring Projects, Second Edition, is a comprehensive manual of practice covering horizontal auger boring (HAB) techniques for pipeline crossing. This second edition of MOP 106 presents current practices for the planning, design, and construction of pipelines under highways and railroads using HAB. These cost-effective and versatile techniques can also be applied to various utility installations crossing under or parallel to roads and streets. This manual is divided into seven sections. The first section offers an overview of HAB and other trenchless alternatives. The second section provides details of the system, including system components, recent innovations, and variations. The remaining five sections provide information on the planning phase, geotechnical investigation, design phase, and construction phase of a HAB project. This Manual of Practice will assist engineers, contractors, and owners involved in new pipe installation projects using HAB methods to design and carry out projects effectively and safely.

Prepared by the Task Committee on Structural Design for Physical Security of the Blast, Shock, and Impact Committee of the Dynamic Effects Technical Administration Committee of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE Structural Design for Physical Security, MOP 142, provides an overview of the typical design considerations encountered in new construction and renovation of facilities for physical security tactics. The constant change in threat tactics and types has led to the need for physical security designs that account for these new considerations and anticipate the environment of the future, with flexibility and adaptability being priorities. This Manual of Practice serves as a replacement for the 1999 technical report Structural Design for Physical Security: State of the Practice and is intended to provide a roadmap for designers and engineers involved in physical security. It contains references to other books, standards, and research. Topics include Threat determination and available assessment and criteria documents, Methods by which structural loadings are derived for the determined threats, Function and selection of structural systems, Design of structural components, Function and selection of window and façade components, Specific considerations for retrofitting structures, Testing methodologies, and Bridge and tunnel security. This book will be a valuable resource to structural engineers and design professionals involved with projects that have physical security concerns related to explosive, ballistic, forced entry, and hostile vehicle threats.
