Comprehensive Investigation Into Historical Pipeline Construction Costs and Engineering Economic Analysis of Alaska In-State Gas Pipeline - Product Features
- The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between collective teacher efficacy and the achievement gap among a sample of third-grade mathematics students. The research questions guiding this study were: (1) What differences exist between teacher rankings of collective teacher efficacy based on teaching experience and schools with varying achievement gaps and poverty levels? (2) How do the third-grade Standards of Learning mathematics test scores compare in schools with varying collective teacher efficacy rankings, achievement gaps, and poverty levels? A collective teacher efficacy survey, likert style, including demographic information about years of teaching experience, was given to each kindergarten through third-grade teacher at 15 elementary schools in one school division in Virginia. A mean efficacy score was computed to determine if a school had low- or high-efficacy. Each school was given a low-, medium-, or high-poverty ranking based on their percentage of students that qualified for free and reduced meal lunch (FARM). Mean scores from the third-grade Standards of Learning mathematics tests were computed for student subgroups (i.e., white, black, FARM, and non-FARM) of each school. White-black achievement score gaps and SES achievement score gaps were determined and the schools were categorized as low, medium, or high gap schools. The analysis of the demographic information from the survey showed no statistical difference for teacher rankings of low or high collective efficacy when compared to varying achievement gap rankings or when comparing experienced teacher rankings of collective teacher efficacy to less-experienced teachers. However, a statistical difference was observed when comparing teacher rankings of collective teacher efficacy to varying school poverty levels. The analysis of the achievement showed strong statistical differences in student scores based on collective teacher efficacy, poverty, and racial groups.
Pipelines 2012: Innovations in Design, Construction, Operations, and Maintenance, Doing More With Less - Product Features
- Proceedings of the Pipelines 2012 Conference, held in Miami Beach, Florida, August 19-22, 2012. Sponsored by the Pipeline Division of ASCE.
- This collection contains 141 peer-reviewed papers discussing management, safety, operation, and maintenance issues pertaining to pipeline infrastructure. Papers examine the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of all types of pipelines, including water, wastewater, and natural gas. Because current interest in sustainable infrastructure is high, this collection pays particular attention to managing existing assets and highlights advances in pipeline rehabilitation, risk management, safety, and engineering and construction.
- Topics include: advances in technology; coastal issues; condition assessment; construction; design management; failure mechanisms; operations and maintenance; pipeline hydraulics and modeling; planning and coordination opportunities; predictive modeling; prestressed concrete cylinder pipe; procurement alternatives; rehabilitative approaches; and trenchless evaluation.
The Planning Guide to Piping Design (Process Piping Design Handbook) - Product Features
- Peter Smith has joined forces with skilled consultants to take his piping series to the next level. The Planning Guide to Piping Design covers the entire process of planning a plant model project from conceptual to mechanical completion, and explains where the piping lead falls in the process along with his roles and responsibilities. Piping Engineering Leads (or PEL's) used to only receive on-the-job training to learn the operation of producing a process plant. Over time, more schools and programs have developed a more advanced curriculum for piping engineers and designers. However, younger generations of engineers and designers are growing up with a much more technological view of piping design and are in need of a handbook that will explain the proven methods of planning and monitoring the piping design in step-by-step processes. This handbook will provide mentors in the process piping industries the bridge needed for the upcoming engineer and designer to grasp the requirements of piping supervision in the modern age.

Sustainable Pipe Jacking Technology in the Urban Environment: Recent Advances and Innovations (Cities Research Series) - Product Features
- This book highlights recent advancements and innovations in trenchless technology via the adoption of combined micro-tunnelling and pipe-jacking techniques. This technique is more environmentally friendly, cost effective, less time-consuming and less disruptive compared to conventional open trench excavations for urban construction and urban infrastructure renewal projects. Pipe jacking is a non-destructive technique used in the installation of underground pipelines using a tunnel boring machine (TBM) and thrust forces derived from the hydraulic jack set-up in a deep jacking shaft. It is popular and commonly used worldwide for the installation of sewer and common services cable tunnels as well as for oil and gas pipelines.
