Production of Portland cement is responsible for about seven percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. The pressure to make the production of concrete more sustainable, or "greener", is considerable and increasing. This requires a wholesale shift in processes, materials and methods in the concrete industry. Pure Portland cement will need to be replaced by more complex binary, tertiary or even quaternary binders, including other types of cementitious materials. We can expect an increasing use of high performance concrete, primarily because of its high sustainability and durability. Much more attention will have to be paid to the proper curing of the concrete if we want to improve its life expectancy.
Presenting the latest advances in the science of concrete this book focuses particularly on sustainability, durability, and economy. It explores the potential for increased sustainability in concrete from the initial mixing right through to its behavior in complex structures exposed to different types of loads and aggressive environments.

Technical Manual for the Design and Construction of Roofs of Stainless Steel Sheet
Size: 4.2 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Japan Stainless Steel Association | Year: 1985 | pages: 110
Stainless steel is a metal having good corrosion resistance and durability, and a pleasing appearance. It is also commonly considered to be a necessary building material in modern architecture. Recently, various new stainless steel applications have been developed utilizing its outstanding features in constructing high-quality, multi-storied buildings. Demand for roofing stainless steel (mainly resin-coated stainless steel sheet), which was developed as a roofing material for housing, gyms, factories, and warehouses, has increased remarkably. The average annual increase in demand for roofing stainless steel has been more than 25 per cent for several years. Resin-coated stainless steel sheet, bake-finished with highquality organic paint on the surface of the rust-resistant stainless steel, has good corrosion resistance and durability, and can be used semi-permanently with almost no maintenance. Since roofing materials are exposed to rigorous natural and corrosive conditions for long periods, it can be said that pre-coated stainless steel sheet is the ideal roofing material. Pre-coated stainless steel sheet is still virtually unknown to the general public, however, and even architects and roofing workers do not sufficiently understand its characteristics, processing methods or structural roofing techniques.

Long employed in electrical engineering, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is now applied in a range of fields through the use of digital computers and fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms. But to correctly interpret DFT results, it is essential to understand the core and tools of Fourier analysis. Discrete and Continuous Fourier Transforms: Analysis, Applications and Fast Algorithms presents the fundamentals of Fourier analysis and their deployment in signal processing using DFT and FFT algorithms.
This accessible, self-contained book provides meaningful interpretations of essential formulas in the context of applications, building a solid foundation for the application of Fourier analysis in the many diverging and continuously evolving areas in digital signal processing enterprises. It comprehensively covers the DFT of windowed sequences, various discrete convolution algorithms and their applications in digital filtering and filters, and many FFT algorithms unified under the frameworks of mixed-radix FFTs and prime factor FFTs. A large number of graphical illustrations and worked examples help explain the concepts and relationships from the very beginning of the text.
Requiring no prior knowledge of Fourier analysis or signal processing, this book supplies the basis for using FFT algorithms to compute the DFT in a variety of application areas.
