An expensive method is presented by lining with stainless steel (V4-A) sheets with corrugations. In an application in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, the 1 mm thick plates were welded onto flat strips and anchored with wall plugs and screws in the concrete [Maidl82].

The later segmental lining of the gas space serves the purpose of restoring or enhancing the resistance of the sewers especially against biogenic sulphuric acid corrosion (Abschnitt 2.6.3.2). It is normal to line 260° to 320°. The feet of the elements lie below the water level for dry weather flow so that the ingress of air behind the lining is prevented.

The lining systems in use are:

  • Vitrified clay plate elements (Abschnitt 5.3.2.5.1) ;
  • Plates …

The lining of sewers of any cross sectional shape with reinforced gunite concrete elements (Bild 5.3.2.5.3.1) was developed in Great Britain [FI-Rees].

They are made outside the sewer with a minimum wall thickness of 40 mm on a corresponding shuttering (Bild 5.3.2.5.3.1), moved to the sewer and positioned there (Bild 5.3.2.5.3.1) (Bild 5.3.2.5.3.1).

Fibre concrete elements are manufactured from cement and fine sand in a proportion of 3:1 as well as 5 % weight alkali-resistant glass fibres of between 10 and 25 mm length in a gunite process.

The element length is generally 1.2 m long but can be adapted to any situation.

The connection of the elements to each other is carried out by a felt and/or socket connection (Bild 5.3.2.5.3.2), which is additionally secured by means of screws in order to prevent …

The elements of reaction resin differ from the elements of gunite and glass fibre concrete only as regards the binding medium. They consist of a mixture of polyester resin (10 - 20 % weight) and quartz aggregates. If required, glass fibres can also be added.

The relative thick (approx. 38 mm) and stiff elements do not require supporting measures during the grouting of the annular space [FI-Quili]. In order to prevent the exit of the grouting material, …

One representative of this process group is the Channeline process developed in Great Britain and used in Germany since 1992 (Bild 5.3.2.5.3.4) (Bild 5.3.2.5.3.4) (Bild 5.3.2.5.3.4).

The TRANSPLUS Glasauskleidungssytem (TRANSPLUS glasslining system) [FI-Flach] developed in the Federal Republic of Germany is a member of this group. In this system, lining elements of chemically resistant, high strength and impact resistant special glass are installed for complete segmental lining of ponds and sewers …

(Image: Complete segmental lining with PVC rib foil - position of the relief groove with radial rib arrangement [FI-Fried])

In a complete segmental lining, the complete internal circumference of the pipe in the section of the sewer to be rehabilitated is provided with a lining.

Besides the division into with/without annular space, a further division can be made into:

  • Complete segmental lining without external water pressure loading;
  • Complete segmental …

(Image: Overview of the lining processes with individual elements)

In the segmental lining process, individual, self-supporting or non-self-supporting lining elements are brought, via existing manholes, openings or excavations, into man-accessible sewers and structures of the drain and sewer systens of any desired cross-sectional shape and installed in-situ either manually and/or with the aid of suitable apparatus and fixing elements (Bild 5.3.2) …

In the analysis of failure the size of the load is calculated in which the structure cannot, or only under conditions of impermissible deformation, accept any further increase of the load. An exact depiction of the theoretical background is given, for example, in [Hibbi95] [Krätz94] [Mehlh95] [Steup66]. The following terms are of great importance (Bild 5.3.2.6.1.1).

  • Stability …

(Image: Buckling of a free ring under external pressure [Guice94a])

Timoshenko describes the buckling behaviour of the free thin ring under a constant external radial load. In the case of any small starting deformation there develops under critical loading the buckling of the circular ring as is shown in Bild 5.3.2.6.1.2.1.

The bending moment M at any point of the circular ring can then be developed from the equilibrium conditions and geometric linkages …

Gaube, starting from investigations on free pipe in the ground under external water pressure, developed a semi-empirical statement for proving the stability of embedded sewage pipes of plastics [Gaube74]. This takes into account the support effects of the soil as well as also the deformation (ovality) of the pipe attributable to the earth load.

First the buckling pressure pk0 of the free un-deformed pipe against external pressure is determined either …

Glock analysed the stability program of a rigid outside-coated, linearly elastic circular ring under external water pressure with the use of geometric non-linear deformation relationships according to the energy method. Friction between pipe and outside coat, imperfections of the loading and geometry as well as non-linear material behaviour were not considered. Separation of the pipe from the coat is conditioned by the circumferential shortening …

Cheney [Chene71], like Glock, investigated the buckling behaviour of a ring enclosed within a rigid coat that was subjected to external pressure under the condition of linear elastic material behaviour. His analysis was carried out in similarity to the stability theory of the arched girder [Timos61] [Guice94c]. For small relationships t/Dm there then results the critical buckling pressure of:

(Formula: Critical buckling pressure (Cheney))

Also Chicurel [Chicu68] investigated the buckling behaviour of a thin elastic externally coated ring in similarity to the stability theory of the arched girder [Timos61]. However, he assumed that the inner ring experiences the external loading because of a reduction of the diameter as could occur in shrinkage processes. Although this statement does not correspond exactly to the relationship of a liner under external water pressure it seems, up to …

Lo and Zhang [Lo94] developed, in similarity to the stability theory of the circular arched girder [Timos61], a model for the buckling of the circular liner, which also considers the influence of a small ring gap. The total gap width is comprised of two different parts, the starting ring gap Δ1 and the ring gap Δ2 resulting from the hydrostatic pressure.

A difference is made between an unsymmetrical and a symmetrical failure figure (Bild 5.3.2.6.1.2.6)

Falter investigated the bearing relationship of liners on the basis of non-linear geometric calculations on rigid frame models [Falte94a]. The calculation was carried out on the assumption of constant loading over the length of the pipe, ignorable friction between liner and old pipe and true-direction loads for "small displacements", whereby also deformation and the formation of gaps were considered. The starting point is the Glock buckling formula (…

The formula of the American Society for Testing and Materials F 1216-93 [ASTMF121693] for calculating the critical buckling pressure is the result of investigations of hose liners in steel pipes in which the diameters, the wall thicknesses and the modulus of elasticity were varied. The liners were loaded to failure and the experimental buckling pressures were compared with the critical buckling pressure of the free pipe according to Timoshenko (Formel …

Wagner carried out short-term buckling experiments in which 135 Insituform pipes of length 3.50 m were loaded with an external radial water pressure up to collapse. Seamless steel pipes with nominal sizes 250 and DN 300 provided rigid outer coats.

For determining the buckling loads resulting from the experiments in their applicability in the range 15 < r/ws < 120, Wagner developed the following limited buckling equation:

(Formula: Buckling equation …

A stable old system is assumed in general for sizing liners as information or an accompanying effect is not yet reliable. As for the pipe-soil- system to [ATVA127b], so also must proof of stress, of deformation and of stability be provided for the pipe-in-pipe system. Non-linear FEM calculations are always to be preferred to a superimposition of analytical solvents. However, there also exist good approximations that permit a pre-sizing and qualitative …

In the past, several empirical and analytical solution statements have been developed for defining the critical buckling pressure of pipes of circular cross section under external pressure [Guice94d]. Fundamental links to the buckling behaviour of the free pipe were presented by Timoshenko in [Timos61]. Building on this, Gaube [Gaube74] described the particular failure behaviour of bedded plastics pipes by means of semi-empirical statements. Glock […

The circular liner is generated about the circumference with a sufficient number of elements, and through the layer thickness with several element layers. The network refinement should be proved to be sufficient to be able to truly model also substantial wall thickness increases [Mielk97]. For instance, 8-node iso-parametric continuum elements (CPE8 [Hibbi95]) with quadratic geometry and displacement statements can be utilised so that also the curvature …

Numerical methods of calculation are very important in many sectors of engineering today. Because of the manifold possibilities of its application, the Finite Element Method is the method used most often even though the border element method (BEM), the Discrete Element Method (DEM) as well as the Finite Difference Method (FDM) in some cases present good alternatives [Schwe94].

In the Finite Element Method, the unknowns within an element are approximated …

There are numerous analytical and empirical statements for describing the bearing and failure behaviour of self-supporting liner with circular cross sections and these have been defined for very different border conditions and thus make their direct utilisation in practice difficult without knowledge of the theoretical backgrounds. As a rule, they only account for the failure of stability of circular, free, or externally coated pipe cross sections …
