This book summarizes the technical method and construction process of pipe jacking. It has a total of 17 chapters and one appendix. It includes how to prepare the pipe jacking construction, how to choose the pipe and equipment for jacking, how to choose the engineering environment, how to do the geological survey before jacking, how to design the working pit, what's the procedure of pipe jacking, how to do the measurement and monitoring during jacking, how to do the treatment and acceptance after jacking, and so on. Appendix contains reference tables for pipe jacking archives, which might aid readers in understanding the book's content. This book's language is simple to read, and it has a wealth of graphics. Even those without a foundational understanding of pipe jacking could read and comprehend it with ease. This regulation could be the fundamental discipline for pipeline jacking projects. It is the important basis and criterion for the design, construction, management, inspection, and acceptance of pipeline jacking.

The world of steel is amazingly diverse and so complex that it is not easy to keep track of in practice. In the form of portraits of selected steels and steel groups, this world of steel is to be brought closer to the reader; compact, understandable, informative, structured with examples from practice and suitable for reference. Hot work tool steels are a group of alloyed steels with high hot strength suitable for tools. These can withstand surface temperatures of more than 600 °C in use. For this purpose, they are optimally adapted to the most diverse requirements, especially for tools used in hot forming and die casting. Important are the chemical compositions, methods of production and processing as well as their properties or the material data of hot work tool steels, which are briefly and clearly presented in this book. The contents The history of hot work tool steels Designations, chemical compositions, grades, microstructure and properties Production (melting and powder metallurgy), heat and surface treatments The target groups Trainees in metal professions, Students, practitioners, engineers in steel production, forming and production technology, in steel, metal and tool construction and in the steel trade About the authors Dr.-Ing. Joachim Schlegel: Steel shaped his professional life as a mechanical engineer, rolling mill operator, researcher, salesman, product manager, customer consultant and lecturer (continuing education) Dr.-Ing. Till Schneiders: After studying mechanical engineering/materials technology, he has been working in the foundry and special steel industry since 2005, amongst others as Vice President Technology and Quality at Deutsche Edelstahlwerke.

This book presents the numerical results of the use of the chemical model to analyse the advancement of the reaction and the mechanical model to simulate creep and shrinkage phenomena in COMSOL Multiphysics®, as a way to reassess concrete structures suffering from those mechanisms. Both models were implemented separately to evaluate their responses and compare them with the theoretical results and experimental benchmarks presented in the literature. The numerical simulation results showed excellent agreement with the experimental results data, with maximum disagreement not exceeding 10%, indicating that the implementation of the developed numerical models behaved very efficiently.
