Features: The Former Soviet Union was the pioneer in the development of steel-reinforced concrete pressure pipes for hydropower stations. Some of its large hydropower stations, such as Sayan-Shushenskaya and Krasnoyarskaya, adopted this type of pipe, which has been safely operating to this day. The Former Soviet Union began systematic experimental research, theoretical analysis, and design calculations on steel-reinforced concrete pressure pipes in the mid-1960s, proposing design criteria and revising relevant design codes. Several specialized books were published, accumulating extensive experience. This book systematically introduces the experimental research results, design calculation methods, and the reinforced concrete codes used for steel-reinforced concrete pressure pipes in the Former Soviet Union, as well as the organization of construction for steel linings and reinforcement skeletons and the welding machinery employed. This book is suitable for engineering design, construction, and pressure pipe installation personnel working in hydraulic, thermal power, nuclear power, and water conveyance engineering water structures.
