Author: Michael Plesha, Gary Gray, Francesco Costanzo | Size: 75 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math | Year: 2009 | pages: 704 | ISBN: 0077275535
Plesha, Gray, and Costanzo’s Engineering Mechanics: Statics & Dynamics presents the fundamental concepts, clearly, in a modern context using applications and pedagogical devices that connect with today’s students.
The text features a five-part problem-solving methodology that is consistently used throughout all example problems. This methodology helps students lay out the steps necessary to correct problem-formulation and explains the steps needed to arrive at correct and realistic solutions. Once students have fully mastered the basic concepts, they are taught appropriate use of modern computational tools where applicable.
Further reinforcing the text's modern emphasis, the authors have brought engineering design considerations into selected problems where appropriate. This sensitizes students to the fact that engineering problems do not have a single answer and many different routes lead to a correct solution.
The first new mainstream text in engineering mechanics in nearly twenty years, Plesha, Gray, and Costanzo’s Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics will help your students learn this important material efficiently and effectively.

Flammability testing of materials used in construction, transport and mining >> By V Apte, formerly Fire Science and Technology Laboratory, CSIRO, Australia
Author: V Apte, formerly Fire Science and Technology Laboratory, CSIRO, Australia | Size: 4.26 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Woodhead Publishing Limited | Year: January 2006 | pages: 478 | ISBN: ISBN 1 85573 935 6 ISBN-13: 978 1 85573 935 2
V Apte, formerly Fire Science and Technology Laboratory, CSIRO, Australia
- an authoritative guide to best practice in ensuring safe design
- defines flammability and the main types of test available
- a vital reference source for civil and transport engineers
Engineers need to be able to test the flammability of the materials they use in buildings and other structures. However, the range of test procedures and regulations in this important area is often confusing. Flammability testing of materials used in construction, transport and mining provides an authoritative guide to current best practice in ensuring safe design.
The book begins by defining flammability and the main types of test available. Building on this foundation, a group of chapters then reviews tests for key materials used in buildings and their contents. There are chapters on wood, external cladding and sandwich panels as well as the flammability of walls and ceilings. Tests for furniture fabrics, cables and electrical appliances are also reviewed. A final group of chapters discusses other types of test, particularly in the transport sector, including chapters on flammability testing for railway passenger cars, aircraft, road and rail tunnels.
With its distinguished international team of contributors, Flammability testing of materials used in construction, transport and mining is a standard reference for civil and transport engineers in particular.
About the author
Dr Vivek Apte is a Senior Research Scientist with CSIRO Manufacturing and Infrastructure Technology (CMIT), and has led a number of projects within its Fire Science and Technology Laboratory. Before joining CMIT, Dr Apte was a Senior Specialist at TestSafe Australia for 14 years. He is the author of over 75 publications in the area of fire and explosion safety.

Sustainability of construction materials >> Edited by J Khatib, University of Wolverhampton, UK
Author: Edited by J Khatib, University of Wolverhampton, UK | Size: 6.6 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Woodhead Publishing Limited | Year: April 2009 | pages: 313 | ISBN: ISBN 1 84569 349 3 ISBN-13: 978 1 84569 349 7
This polished work, edited by Jamal Khatib, is ground-breaking and based on an international team of contributors, it is laid out in the form of a super academic journal, each chapter presenting an abstract, keywords and references.
Materials World
…useful materials science book. …The masonry materials chapter is excellent.
International Journal of Sustainable Engineering
…thought provoking and forward-thinking. …should be of interest a wide audience. …a stimulating learning experience. ...A more scientific and theoretical approach for those who wish to get in touch with sustainable building materials.
Bowen met staal
- provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the sustainability of a variety of construction materials ranging from wood and bamboo to cement and concrete
- assesses the durability of sustainable construction materials including the utilisation of waste tyre rubber and vegetable fibres
- collates a wealth of recent research including relevant case studies as well as an investigation into future trends
Until recently, much of the development of building materials has predominantly focused on producing cheaper, stronger and more durable construction materials. More recently attention has been given to the environmental issues in manufacturing, using, disposing and recycling of construction materials. Sustainability of construction materials brings together a wealth of recent research on the subject.
The first part of the book gives a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the sustainability of the following building materials: aggregates; timber, wood and bamboo; vegetable fibres; masonry; cement, concrete and cement replacement materials; metals and alloys; glass; and engineered wood products. A final group of chapters cover the use of waste tyre rubber in civil engineering works, the durability of sustainable construction materials and nanotechnologies for sustainable construction.
With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Sustainability of construction materials is a standard reference for anyone involved in the construction and civil engineering industries with an interest in the highly important topic of sustainability.
