This state of the art report covers the properties of concrete containing CSF in the fresh state, during hardening, and in the hardened state, with the emphasis on durability properties. The review is based on published reports, of which approximately 400 are available, the majority of Norwegian origin and written in Norwegian. Most of the reports contain original laboratory data, some are review articles covering limited topics, and a few are concerned with laboratory investigations of concrete from old structures.

I am looking for two standards concerning testing of natural stone, as follows:
1. BS EN 12371:2010 Natural stone test methods. Determination of frost resistance
2. BS EN 12372:2006 Natural stone test methods. Determination of flexural strength under concentrated load
If someone of you have one of them or both, please, let's share them with me.
Thanks in advance.

American Architecture, Second Edition (World of Art)
Author: David P. Handlin | Size: 152.1 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Thames & Hudson | Year: 2nd edition February 23, 2004 | pages: 304 | ISBN: 0500203733, ISBN-13: 978-0500203736
America has always presented a unique challenge to architects: should they emulate the Old World or respond to the demands of the New? David Handlin tells the complex story with lucidity and insight. Almost from its seventeenth-century beginnings, American architecture was subject to two apparently contradictory processes--the practical and the grandiose. The first comes through in the vernacular buildings of rural America, the innovations of Jefferson, Bulfinch's fine civic buildings, the offices and factories of the Industrial Age, and the comfortable domestic tradition that lies behind the houses of the Greene Brothers and Frank Lloyd Wright. The second is seen in the unprecedented daring of the Chicago School--great engineers like Adler united with great designers like Sullivan; in the majestic state capitols, exhibition halls, and public buildings by firms such as McKim, Mead & White; in the luxury of Fifth Avenue mansions; and in the exuberance of commercial Manhattan. The revised edition ends with a lively account of recent developments--virtual architecture, the revival of historical styles (including modernism), the thirst for striking originality, and a new interest in the local, with figures including Stern, Meier, Gehry, and Mockbee. About the Author
David P. Handlin taught at Harvard University and is a practicing architect in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

All cities are vulnerable. They have economically, socially, institutionally vulnerable urban space.
In developing countries, vulnerable urban space can be observed typically as substandard informal settlements such as slums or areas occupied by squatters. At present, slum dwellers comprise one-third of the world's urban population of 3 billion, and it has been estimated that the number of slum dwellers will double in the next 30 years if no effective action is taken. Improvement of vulnerable urban areas, which is one of the targets of Millennium Development Goals, is thus an urgent worldwide challenge in our age.
This book combines empirical and comparative analysis of improvement of vulnerable urban space and post-disaster rehabilitation in Asian and Latin American countries. The discussions presented herein will serve as a useful, thought-provoking source for researchers, practitioners and students, especially for those who are working to alleviate the vulnerability of urban space.

YoWindow reflects the weather in a living landscape.
Simple, like your window.
But now you can scroll time to see the weather forecast.
See living weather, not just boring numbers!
What's inside?
The weather, not just numbers.
Real cloud coverage, rain/snow, fog, grass swings to the wind, Sun, Moon, mist, thunderstorms...
Full featured weather station
Time-scroll - see weather at any moment
Turn any picture into landscape
Temperature near Windows clock
Get ready for surprises :-)
- A new monitor weather. The program displays a landscape that varies depending on the weather, daylight and time of year. The program correctly displays all possible weather phenomena: clouds, rain, snow, wind, fog, thunderstorms, as well as sun, moon and stars. In fact this model YoWindow normal windows.But in YoWindow you have the ability to rewind time and forward into the future - to see the weather forecast at the right time. Free version is limited to 3 days, after which the advertisement is to manually update and forecast.
In the settings you can enable YoWindow startup programs, choose to display the information panel (interactive timeline panel forecast, the inspector, to activate the animation weather pattern). If we are interested not only air temperature, then the screen should display information about the range of temperature (as it is and what she is feeling in) the picture of the sky, wind, pressure, humidity, precipitation, visibility, sunrise and sunset, and the longitude of the day phase of the moon. Also set the number of days to display the projections, landscape (default is "The Village"), units (Fahrenheit, Celsius, miles, meters, nodes, etc.). As soon as we get away from the computer and it will be read by the number of minutes and will automatically turn the screen saver on the screen again will throw the snow. And even if the outside end of March, still gladdens us YoWindow his magic picture.
Main features:
- Full control over the weather.
- The weather at a time that you need.
- The current temperature next to the clock.
- Personal support weather

Mechanics of Materials helps students gain physical and intuitive understanding of the ideas underlying the mechanics of materials; grasp big picture ideas; and use the subject to solve problems–everything it takes to genuinely learn how the forces acting on a material relate to its deformation and failure.
2.About the Author
Professor Paul S. Steif has been a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University since 1983. He received a Sc.B. degree in engineering mechanics from Brown University; M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in applied mechanics from Harvard University; and was National Science Foundation NATO Postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cambridge. As a faculty member his research has addressed a variety of problems, including the effects of interfacial properties on fiberreinforced composites, bifurcation and instabilities in highly deformed layered materials, and stress generation and fracture induced by cryopreservation of biological tissues. Dr. Steif has also contributed to engineering practice through consulting and research on industrial projects, including elastomeric damping devices, blistering of face seals, and fatigue of tube fittings.
Since the mid-1990s, Dr. Steif has focused increasingly on engineering education, performing research on student learning of mechanics concepts, and developing new course materials and classroom approaches. Drawing upon methods of cognitive and learning sciences, Dr. Steif has led the development and psychometric validation of the Statics Concept Inventory—a test of statics conceptual knowledge. He is the co-author of Open Learning Initiative (OLI) Engineering Statics. Dr. Steif is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and recipient of the Archie Higdon Distinguished Educator
