The issue of missile impacts on concrete containment buildings (CCBs) of nuclear power plants (NPPs) was subject to intensive research for the first time in the 1970s and early 1980s. During that period a number of missile impact tests, even on a large scale have been carried out, most notably the Meppen Tests in Germany and the Tests at Sandia National Laboratory in the USA. In both tests soft and hard missiles were impacted on large reinforced concrete slabs resembling the CCBs of NPPs build at that time. In parallel quite a number of computational analyses have been performed to predict the results of these tests. For these analyses either empirical formulas or relatively coarse finite difference (FD) or finite element (FE) models even with load curves were used. Due to the limitations of these models the possibility to predict the outcome of missile impact tests was quite difficult. Today quite a number of advanced computational methods and methodologies are available for impact analyses and as a result the issue of missile impact testing has reached a significant level of interest inside the nuclear community again.

- Manual of construction and representation of envelopes
- Current examples of internationally renowned architects
- New 3D drawings with abundant detailed explanations
“Modern Construction Envelopes” is based on the two books by Andrew Watts “Modern Construction Roofs” and “Modern Construction Facades”. Both volumes have been gathered into one single volume and unified in terms on content, which permits the consideration of facades and roofs as envelopes. This is of particular interest as to design and its creative freedom.
Using current examples of renowned architects, Andrew Watts presents the constructive and material related details. This presentation is based on an easy-to-understand text, photos, and standardized detail drawings as well 3D representations of the components. By means of this information, the partly complex structure of modern envelopes can easily be understood and used as know-how for one’s own needs.
The final part of this book deals with the topic “Future“ focusing on digitally controlled construction parts and upcoming application solutions for material und technology.

It is critical to quantify the various properties of soil in order to predict how it will behave under field loading for the safe design of soil structures. Quantification of these properties is performed using standardized laboratory tests. This lab manual prepares readers to enter the field with a collection of the most common of these soil mechanics tests. The procedures for all of these tests are written in accordance with applicable American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.
