Description:
EuroLightCon project is funded by the European Union under the Industrial & Materials Technologies Programme (Brite-EuRam III) Contract BRPR-CT97-0381, Project BE96-3942.
Established in 1997, EuroLightCon is a three-year project that involves close cooperation between Norwegian, Dutch, German, British, Spanish and Icelandic companies, universities, research institutes and government agencies. The project aims to further develop lightweight concrete technology by testing new aggregates that utilize waste products, by identifying new areas of use for LWA concrete, and by drawing up rules for the dimensioning of reliable structures.
It is the objective of the EuroLightCon-project to develop a reliable and cost effective design and construction methodology for structural concrete with LWA. The proj ect addresses LWA manufactured from geological sources (clay, pumice etc.) as well as from waste/secondary materials (fly-ash etc.). The methodology shall enable the European concrete and construction industry to enhance its capabilities in terms of cost-effective and environmentally friendly construction, combining the building of lightweight structures with the utilisation of secondary aggregate sources.
The major research tasks are:
1. Lightweight aggregates: The identification and evaluation of new and unexploited sources specifically addressing the environmental issue by utilising alternative materials from waste. Further the development of more generally applicable classification and quality assurance systems for aggregates and aggregate production.
2. Lightweight aggregate concrete production: The development of a mix design methodology to account for all relevant materials and concrete production and in-use properties. This will include assessment of test methods and quality assurance for production.
3. Lightweight aggregate concrete properties: The establishing of basic materials relations, the influence of materials characteristics on mechanical properties and durability.
4. Lightweight aggregate concrete structures: The development of design criteria and rules with special emphasis on high performance structures. The identification of new areas for application.
At the time the project is being performed, a Working Group under the international concrete association FIB (the former CEB and FIP) is preparing an addendum to the CEB-FIP Model Code 1990, to make the Model Code applicable for LWAC. Basis for this work is a state-of-the-art report referring mainly to European and North-American Standards and Codes. Partners in the project are also active in the FIB Working Group.

Author: Timothy A. Davis | Size: 10.5 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematic | Year: 2006 | pages: 217 | ISBN: 0898716136
This book presents the fundamentals of sparse matrix algorithms, from theory to algorithms and data structures to working code. The focus is on direct methods for solving systems of linear equations; iterative methods and solvers for eigenvalue problems are beyond the scope of this book. The goal is to impart a working knowledge of the underlying theory and practice of sparse matrix algorithms, so that you will have the foundation to understand more complex (but faster) algorithms. Methods that operate on dense sub matrices of a larger sparse matrix ( multifrontal and supermodel methods) are much faster, but a complete sparse matrix package based on these methods can be tens of thousands of lines long. The sparse LU, Cholesky, and QR factorization codes in MATLAB®, for example, total about 100,000 lines of code. Trying to understand the sparse matrix technique by starting with such huge codes is a daunting task. To overcome this obstacle, a sparse matrix package, CSparse,1 has been written specifically for this book.2 It can solve Ax = b when A is unsymmetric, symmetric positive definite, or rectangular, using about 2,200 lines of code. Although simple and concise, it is based on recently developed methods and theory. All of CSparse is printed in this book. Take your time to read and understand these codes; do not gloss over them. You will find them much easier to comprehend and learn from than their larger (yet faster) cousins. The larger packages you may use in practice are based on much of the theory and some of the algorithms presented more concisely and simply in CSparse. For example, the MATLAB statement x=A\b relies on the theory and algorithms from almost every section of this book. Parallel sparse matrix algorithms are excluded, yet they too rely on the theory discussed here.

PDF Annotator lets the user open any PDF file and add annotations, using the mouse or a Tablet PC pen, directly on the PDF file's pages. The annotated documents can then be saved directly back to PDF format. In this way, anyone can read or print the annotated PDF documents. Annotated documents can also be easily attached to emails. Previously, annotating, commenting or proofreading a document received for review in PDF file format was possible only by using multiple software products in a row--or only by printing the document and adding comments manually. With PDF Annotator, annotations can also be added in a natural way--using a pen--but everything remains in digital format. PDF Annotator allows commenting of PDF files in a single step.
