This is a state-of-the-art report prepared by RILEM Technical Committee 116-PCD and is an authoritative, international review of the subject and is an essential reference source for engineers and technologists.
This comprehensive and authoritative review of durability of concrete in cold environments will enable concrete materials specialists and practising engineers to understand the mechanisms responsible for deterioration of concrete through freeze/thaw action.
Restraint and intrinsic stresses in concrete at early ages are vitally important for concrete structures which must remain free of water-permeable cracks, such as water-retaining structures, tunnel linings, locks and dams.
This book forms the proceedings of the international seminar held by the Institution of Structural Engineers and the Building Research Establishment in Brighton in April 1993.
First published in 1981 as the Offshore Information Guide this guide to information sources has been hailed internationally as an indispensable handbook for the oil, gas and marine industries.
This book presents new information on concrete properties and production in the light of the widespread use of ready mixed concrete and new concreting materials.
This new RILEM report contains state-of-the-art reviews on three topics: recycling of demolished concrete, recycling of masonry rubble and localized cutting by blasting of concrete.
This book is a state-of-the-art report which documents current knowledge on the properties of fly ash in concrete and the use of fly ash in construction.
Fresh concrete must be produced with the properties required for its intended applications, for example, it must be workable enough to flow into formwork, and to be compacted.
This richly-illustrated reference guide presents innovative techniques focused on reducing time, cost and risk in the construction and maintenance of underground facilities:A primary focus of the technological development in underground engineering is to ease the practical execution and to reduce time, cost and risk in the construction and mai
The application of fracture mechanics to cementitious materials allows the investigation of many important factors relating to the durability of these materials.
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete is a major problem, with serious implications for structural integrity and durability particularly for bridges and marine structures.
Advanced cementitious composites can be designed to have outstanding combinations of strength (five to ten times that of conventional concrete) and energy absorption capacity (up to 1000 times that of plain concrete).
Compares currently used methods in determining concrete toughness and presents recommended test procedures with theories and models for describing cracking and fracturing phenomena.
Testing of materials and manufactured items is a key element in the process from standard specifications though control and verification during manufacture to trade in actual products.
The aim of this book, by the Commission on Wall Structures of the International Council for Building (CIB), is to select certain countries or regions, and examine enclosure masonry walls which are perceived as being typical.
Cement-Based Composites takes a different approach from most other books in the field by viewing concrete as an advanced composite material, and by considering the properties and behaviour of cement-based materials from this stance.
The Cam-Clay model is a fundamental constitutive model in soil mechanics, but is only suitable for normally consolidated clay under triaxial compression stress states.
Linking theory to practice, this book provides a better fundamental understanding of Portland cement and hydraulic binders which is necessary to make better concrete.
This general treatise on precast concrete reflects Maurice Levitt's extensive experience in the construction industry and as a researcher and consultant.
General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) is a special computer programming language primarily used to simulate what can be classified as discrete systems.
