Abstract
Predicts the time to failure and determines the mechanisms of failure of both field- and factory-applied cement-mortar lining (CML). Develops a procedure/protocol to predict remaining life and identify modes of failure of CML in ductile-iron and cast-iron water mains. Research partner: CSIRO. Published in 2011.
