ISO 22965-2 Concrete — Part 2: Specification of constituent materials, production of concrete and compliance of concrete

This part of ISO 22965 applies to concrete for structures cast in situ, pre-cast structures and structural pre-cast products for buildings and civil engineering structures. The concrete can be mixed on site, ready-mixed concrete or produced in a plant for pre-cast concrete products.
This part of ISO 22965 applies to concrete compacted to retain no appreciable amount of entrapped air other than entrained air and to normal-weight, heavy-weight and light-weight concrete. Other International Standards for specific products, e.g. pre-cast products, or for processes within the field of the scope of this standard can require or permit deviations from this part of ISO 22965. This part of ISO 22965 specifies the properties of constituent materials, the production of concrete and the compliance system of concrete.
This part of ISO 22965 does not apply to:
⎯ concrete with a maximum aggregate size equal to or less than 4 mm or 5 mm (mortar),
⎯ aerated concrete,
⎯ foamed concrete,
⎯ concrete with an open structure (“no-fine aggregate” concrete),
⎯ concrete with a density less than 800 kg/m3,
⎯ refractory concrete.
This part of ISO 22965 does not cover health and safety requirements for the protection of workers during production and delivery of concrete.

SCI P180: Integral Steel Bridges - Design of a Single-span Bridge - Worked Example

This publication provides a Worked Example for the design of a single-span fully integral bridge, that utilises High Modulus Pile abutments and a composite plate girder deck. It has been based on the findings of studies undertaken on steel integral bridges and steel substructures by The Steel Construction Institute since 1993.
Calculations are provided for each design stage, together with a detailed commentary explaining the background to the methods employed and the parameters chosen. Computer-based numerical techniques have been used to enable full soil-structure interaction to be considered in the analysis. A design is proposed for a reinforced concrete capping beam to provide a full moment connection between the High Modulus Piles and the deck.

A GUIDE TO FIRE & ACOUSTIC DATA FOR STEEL FLOOR, WALL & ROOF ASSEMBLIES

The material in this guide has been prepared as a reference of fire and sound rated lightweight steel framed assemblies. While every effort has been taken to ensure that the material is technically correct, it only offers a brief description of the tested assemblies. It must not be used without first reviewing the source documents of the testing agencies for a full description of the assembly. The Steel Framing Alliance, nor their organization’s members, warrant or assume liability for the suitability of the material for any general or particular use.
Please note that some assemblies are constructed with proprietary products that may not be available in all geographical areas. Please consult the source documents of the testing agencies for these details. Where fire rated designs utilize a proprietary steel joist, fluted unit, light gauge steel truss or steel stud, the source column appears shaded and the word proprietary is in bold font to allow ease of identification for an assembly built with a proprietary cold formed steel product.

The purpose of this guide is to amalgamate fire and sound data for steel floor, wall and roof assemblies that are relevant to residential and light commercial construction.
