A review of the latest research on and applications of geopolymers, this book discusses their synthesis and characterization, manufacture and properties, and applications. The distinguished editors and international contributors discuss topics such as fly ash chemistry and inorganic polymer cements, geopolymer precursor design, nanostructure/microstructure of metakaolin and fly ash geopolymers, accelerated aging, chemical durability, engineering properties, producing fire and heat resistant geopolymers, uses of mining wastes, thermal properties, commercialization for construction, and applications in waste management.

Reinforced concrete has the potential to be very durable and capable of withstanding a variety of adverse environmental conditions. However, failures in the structures do still occur as a result of premature reinforcement corrosion. In this authoritative book the fundamental aspects of this complex process are analyzed; focusing on corrosion of the reinforcing steel, and looking particularly, at new scientific and technological developments.
Comprehensive reviews on the use of surface treatments and coatings and the application of corrosion inhibitors and electrochemical techniques are provided. In each case, the necessary scientific fundamentals are explained and practical applications discussed.About the editor
Professor Böhni worked at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ), until his retirement in 2002.

Many new or relatively new welding processes, such as friction stir welding, resistance spot welding, and laser welding, are being increasingly adopted to replace or improve on traditional welding techniques. Before advanced welding techniques are employed, their potential failure mechanisms should be well understood and their suitability for welding particular metals and alloys in different situations should be assessed. Failure Mechanisms of Advanced Welding Processes provides a critical analysis of advanced welding techniques and their potential failure mechanisms.
The book first covers the mechanics modeling of spot welds, applications to fatigue life predictions, resistance spot weld failure mode, and weld performance for aluminum alloys, dual phase steels, and TRIP steels. It then discusses fatigue behavior of spot welded joints in steel sheets, the nondestructive evaluation of spot weld quality, solid state joining, and failure mechanisms in friction stir welds, before describing the microstructure characteristics and mechanical properties of laser weld bonding of magnesium alloy to aluminum alloy. The book also explores fatigue in laser welds, weld metal ductility, the joining of lightweight materials using reactive nanofoils, and fatigue life prediction and improvements for MIG-welded advanced high strength steel weldments.
With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, this book is a standard reference for anyone using modern and advanced welding processes in the automotive, shipbuilding, oil, gas and metal fabrication industries.

Architectural Surfaces: Details for Artists, Architects, And Designers
Author: Judy A. Juracek | Size: 38.6 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company | Year: 2005 | pages: 352 | ISBN: 0393730794
This is a picture book for architects to illustrate various treatments, hundreds of various treatments for surfaces. Surfaces includes walls, facades, ornaments & moldings, columns & posts, windows, dorways, ceilings & roofs, floors & pavement. The concept is to show what has been done by others which can help in filling out their ideas about projects. And it is useful in showing or asking clients for their comments on proposed treatments.
All in all there are some sixteen hundred photographs in the 350 or so pages of the book. The overall design of a building is the first thing that is noticed, but the surface treatment isn't far beyond. And unlike the design, the surfaces from the floor to the ceiling are covered in paint, carpets, drapes, dozens of different treatments. All in all, the surface finishing may be the most expensive part of the building.

BS 5306-1:2006 covers good practice in matters affecting the design, installation, testing and maintenance of hose reel and foam inlet systems and also gives recommendations for these systems.
This part of BS 5306 now contains only the residual material which deals with hose reels and foam inlets and this has been updated.
N.B. BS 5306-1 does not cover wet and dry fire mains, automatic foam systems and portable fire-fighting equipment. These systems are covered in BS 9990, BS 5306-3, BS 5306-8 and BS EN 3-7. Requirements for the hose reels themselves are specified in BS EN 671.

Building the Sheikh Zayed Bridge, the stunning grand gateway to the worlds richest city, Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, is a kingsize headache for Mark Jones, the engineer assembling its giant signature arches. Its an architects dream, an engineers nightmare,he says .The bridge is millions over budget and years behind schedule.Its as much sculpture as structure, and when art meets engineering,worlds collide. No one has ever built a bridge like this. Mega Builders cameras follow Jones and his crew as they solve one frustrating challenge after another, lifting and joining together 600 tonne steel segments bigger than houses with the largest crane in the Middle East to complete the South Marina Arch at the worlds most difficult bridge.
