Structure-Borne Sound" is a thorough introduction to structural vibrations with emphasis on audio frequencies and the associated radiation of sound. The book presents in-depth discussions of fundamental principles and basic problems, in order to enable the reader to understand and solve his own problems. It includes chapters dealing with measurement and generation of vibrations and sound, various types of structural wave motion, structural damping and its effects, impedances and vibration responses of the important types of structures, as well as with attenuation of vibrations, and sound radiation from structures. For the third edition, the author fundamentally revised and newly organized the contents of the work. Nevertheless, the intention has been to preserve the style of the previous editions, namely to focus on the fundamentals enabling the reader to analyse further problems.

This European Standard:
gives methods and procedures for the assessment of the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in
structures and precast concrete components;
provides principles and guidance for establishing the relationships between test results from indirect test
methods and the in-situ core strength;
provides guidance for the assessment of the in-situ concrete compressive strength in structures or
precast concrete components by indirect or combined methods.
This European Standard does not include the following cases:
where indirect methods are used without correlation to core strength;
assessment based on cores less than 50 mm in diameter;
assessment based on less than 3 cores;
use of microcores.
NOTE In these cases provisions valid in place of use apply.
This European Standard is not for the assessment of conformity of concrete compressive strength in
accordance with EN 206-1 or EN 13369 except as indicated in EN 206-1:2000, 5.5.1.2 or 8.4.

An Introduction to Uncertainty in Measurement Using GUM (Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurements)
Author: L. Kirkup, R. B. Frenkel | Size: 1.7 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Cambridge University Press | Year: 2006 | pages: 249 | ISBN: 9780511190957; 0511190956; 9780521844284; 0521844282; 9780521605793; 0521605792
Measurement shapes scientific theories, characterises improvements in manufacturing processes and promotes efficient commerce. Inherent in measurement is uncertainty, and students in science and engineering need to identify and quantify uncertainties in the measurements they make. This book introduces measurement and uncertainty to second- and third-year students of science and engineering. Its approach relies on the internationally recognised and recommended guidelines for calculating and expressing uncertainty (known by the acronym GUM). The statistics underpinning the methods are considered and worked examples and exercises are spread throughout the text. Detailed case studies based on typical undergraduate experiments are included to reinforce the principles described in the book. This book is also useful to professionals in industry who are expected to know the contemporary methods in this increasingly important area.
