ABSTRACT
Steel fiber is the most common type of fiber reinforcement in cementitious materials. The reinforcement efficiency, in terms of maximum crack bridging force and total energy absorption during fiber pullout, is a function of many parameters including the properties of fiber, matrix, and interface as well as fiber size, volume fraction, geometry, and distribution. In this investigation, we focus on the effect of fiber yield strength on reinforcement efficiency. Fiber pullout specimens are fabricated with fibers of different yield strengths. Because cracks in a concrete member may intersect fibers at different angles, pullout tests are carried out with the fiber inclined at 0, 30, and 60°. The experimental results indicate the existence of an optimal fiber yield strength for the maximization of pullout load and pullout work. Inspection of the pullout curves as well as microscopic studies show that a higher fiber yield strength will result in more severe matrix spalling around the fiber exit point, thus limiting the further improvement in reinforcement efficiency. The results confirm the qualitative trend predicted by an existing theoretical model and indicate that the fiber yield strength is an important parameter that should not be overlooked in the design of fiber reinforced cementitious composites.

Bentley SewerCAD v8i (SELECT series 2) 08.11.02.49
(30 Days Trial)
SewerCAD V8i is an extremely powerful program for the design and analysis of gravity flow and pressure flow through pipe networks and pumping stations. The program can be run in Microstation, AutoCAD, and ArcGIS modes, giving you all the power of Microstation and AutoCAD's capabilities, or in Stand-Alone mode utilizing our own graphical interface.
SewerCAD V8i allows you to construct a graphical representation of a pipe network containing information such as pipe data, pump data, loading, and infiltration. You have a choice of conveyance elements including circular pipes, arches, boxes and more.
The gravity network is calculated using the built-in numerical model, which utilizes both the direct step and standard step gradually varied flow methods. Flow calculations are valid for both surcharged and varied flow situations, including hydraulic jumps, backwater, and drawdown curves. You also have the flexibility to mix gravity and pressure components freely, building your systems in parallel or in series as they exist in the field. Pressure elements can be controlled based on system hydraulics, turning pumps on and off due to changes in flows and pressures.
Trial VIP see in your section how to renew the Bentley Trials.

Does anybody have this book, I've searched all over the net but couldn't find it. Any help would be appreciated
This book develop a highly efficient construction supply chain management (CSCM) solution that decreases risk and increases profitability. This authoritative volume provides proven strategies for the lean construction approach, including just-in-time purchasing, supplier evaluation, subcontractor selection, subcontractor relationship management, equipment acquisition, information sharing, and project quality management.
There are numerous illustrations and ready-to-use forms-and a step-by-step economic evaluation for equipment acquisition.
Construction Purchasing and Supply Chain Management explains how to achieve maximum integration with upstream and downstream supply chain members using the latest technologies. You will be able to establish a strategic CSCM framework to meet the budgetary and scheduling goals of any project. This comprehensive, step-by-step guide to CSCM is useful for project owners, design engineers, architects, prime contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and construction managers involved in construction projects throughout the world. Discover how to:
* Ensure the on-time and cost-effective delivery of materials,equipment, and services
* Effectively negotiate with suppliers and subcontractors
* Manage superior subcontractor and supplier relationships
* Evaluate and select suppliers based on their value-added capabilities
* Analyze and negotiate subcontracting services
* Plan for, purchase, and lease construction equipment
* Leverage technology, safety measures, and information sharing to increase productivity and profitability
* Understand the components of horizontal and vertical construction supply chain operating models

This European Standard lists the information that may be communicated and includes a brief description in the inspection documents of iron and steel products as described in EN 10021 and EN 10204. By laying down standardized designations and definitions for information likely to appear in inspection documents and by introducing code numbers for each of the designated sections, this European Standard intends to contribute to the elimination of communication difficulties in European trade.
