Book Description:
Today, environmental protection is among the central matters for natural conservation, public health and sustainable business. With advanced technologies and changing lifestyles, the consumption of resources and release of wastes and pollutants are increasing fast. This requires policy makers to design environmental policies that properly guide the development of new products and business operations. The goal of environmental policy is to limit, slow-down, reduce or eliminate environmental damages caused by industrial and human activities. Environmental issues generally addressed by environmental policy include (but are not limited to) air and water pollution, waste management, ecosystem management, biodiversity protection, and the protection of natural resources, wildlife and endangered species. This book gathers the latest research from around the globe in this field.

This British Standard provides recommendations for the design and construction of normal reinforced and prestressed concrete structures used for the containment or exclusion of aqueous liquids. The term “liquid” in this code includes any contained or excluded aqueous liquids but excludes aggressive liquids. The code does not cover dams, pipes, pipelines, lined structures, or the damp-proofing of basements. The term “structure” is used herein for the vessel that contains or excludes the liquid, and includes tanks, reservoirs, and other vessels.
NOTE 1 The design of structures of special form or in unusual circumstances is a matter for the judgement of the designer.
NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

This British Standard specifies requirements for weldable steel bars for reinforcement of concrete. It covers plain round steel bars in grade 250, and deformed (type 1 and type 2) high yield steel bars in grade 460, the latter in two ductility categories, 460A and 460B. The weldability requirements for both grades of steel are specified in terms of the carbon equivalent value. A testing facility for material covered by a third party product certification scheme, and a testing facility for material not covered by such a scheme, are provided. Steel bars for use as lifting hooks are not included in this British Standard. Steel bars produced by re-rolling finished products, or by rolling material of which the metallurgical history is not fully documented or not known, are not covered by this British Standard.
NOTE 1 Flash welds in lengths of bar are permissible. However, for some purposes, purchasers may specifically require bars without flash welds. For this reason, the manufacturer should enquire whether flash welds are acceptable for the purposes of the purchaser at the time of enquiry and/or order (see Annex A).
NOTE 2 All steels conforming to this British Standard are of weldable quality. Appropriate welding procedures and consumables, to each particular grade and quality, should be used (see BS 7123).
