  • Less Black Stuff There
    Less black stuff there. AdBlue® is a fluid used in heavy-duty diesel engines that utilise a technology called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to help reduce the engine’s exhaust emissions of oxides of nitrogen. AdBlue® is the registered trademark for Aqueous Urea Solution or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). AdBlue® is clear, non-toxic, non-explosive, non-flammable and, if stored and handled in the correct manner, is safe to handle and should not cause harm to the environment. HOW DOES ADBLUE® WORK? AdBlue® is stored in a separate tank on the truck and is sprayed in metered doses into the exhaust stream of the vehicle. AdBlue® reacts with the exhaust gases from the engine and helps to convert oxides of nitrogen emissions into harmless gas and water vapour. WHY WOULD I USE ADBLUE®? The SCR technology with AdBlue® is one technology adopted by truck manufacturers to help meet the latest European legislation on diesel engine emissions. If your vehicle is equipped with SCR technology your vehicle will require the use of Diesel Exhaust Fluid such as AdBlue® to be operational. ADBLUE® AT THE PUMP IS NOW ONLY $1 PER LITRE EVERYDAY FROM THESE SHELL COLES EXPRESS SITES d1 PER LITRE HOW MUCH ADBLUE® DO I NEED? WHAT IS THE SHELF-LIFE OF ADBLUE®?

    LRRCSC - INQUIRY INTO VICROADS' MANAGEMENT OF COUNTRY ROADS SUBMISSION NO: 152 RECEIVED: 12 JAN 2018 Submission: Management of Country Roads Submittor: Jane Hildebrant Postal Address: Email: Mob.: 11 January 2017 Terms of Reference 1. The effectiveness of VicRoads in managing country roads; 2. The existing funding model and its lack of effectiveness for country Victoria; 3. The lack of consultation with regional communities and their subsequent lack of input into prioritising which roads are in dire need of repair; and 4. The option of dismantling VicRoads and creating a specific Country Roads organisation and separate Metropolitan Roads body. 1. The effectiveness of VicRoads in managing country roads VicRoads appears to lack a clear management plan for managing country roads. Talking to local drivers, the consensus is that roads’ maintenance is reactive and piecemeal and that vast sums of money appear to be being spent on works that are largely ineffective and therefore, a complete waste of money and time. This assessment was clearly articulated in the recent “Country Roads: Your Insights, Our Actions” report. I wholeheartedly concur with the findings of this report, viz.: “The desire for better links between regions, safer overtaking opportunities and investment in sealed shoulders were commonly raised, along with concerns about poor roadside drainage and pot‐holes… [as well as] greater transparency about what is happening on [our] roads” (p1). This report states, p16 (10/19 online) that: “The condition and maintenance of country roads was raised by many people throughout our engagement. Participants shared a need for VicRoads to “go beyond the reactive approach and ‘band‐aid’ solutions, such as patching or reducing speeds, to fix and maintain the country roads’’.

  • Carbon Fibre Fabric Strengthening of Little River Bridge
    Carbon Fibre Fabric Strengthening of Little River Bridge Bernard SHEPHERD Andrew SARKADY Project Director Technical Manager GHD Pty Ltd MBT (Aust) Pty Ltd Melbourne, Australia Melbourne, Australia Bernard Shepherd, born 1943, Andrew Sarkady, born 1964, received his civil engineering received his civil engineering degree from the Univ. of degree from the Univ. of Canterbury, NZ Melbourne Summary The Little River Bridge is an 84 year old, 4 span continuous structure on the Princes Freeway (National Highway 1) between the cities of Melbourne and Geelong in Australia. As part of the upgrading and widening of the road to a 6 lane freeway, the Little River Bridge beams required strengthening for positive moment. The solution selected by the main contractor, Leighton Contractors, was to use MBT MBrace CF130 Carbon Fibre Fabric Composite to strengthen the beams. Alternatives considered were steel plates and external post-tensioning. This paper describes the design and specification process, the implementation and the full scale load testing carried out by the roads authority, VicRoads, which demonstrated the fully composite behaviour of the strengthened beams. Unexpected advantages were also observed which enhanced the value of the Carbon Fibre Fabric Composite system. Keywords: bridge; carbon fibre fabric; composites; strengthening; reinforced concrete; beams 1. Introduction The existing structure in reinforced concrete was a three span integral bridge built about 1919, extended to four spans during construction and widened in 1955. In cross-section the bridge has three longitudinal beams and a transversely ribbed deck slab. Over its service life of 83 years the bridge has performed well with virtually no maintenance and only a moderate level of deterioration.
