Engineering system dynamics is an exciting and challenging field and is a multidisciplinary subject. This book is designed and organized around the concepts of vibration analysis and control systems engineering as they have been developed in the frequency and time domain for an introductory undergraduate course for engineering students of all disciplines.
This book includes the coverage of classical methods of control systems and vibration, engineering: matrix analysis, Laplace transforms and transfer functions, root locus analysis and design, Routh - Hurwitz stability analysis, frequency response methods of analysis including Bode, Nyquist, and Nichols, steady-state error analysis, second order systems approximations, phase and gain margin and bandwidth, state space variable method, and controllability and observability. With this foundation of basic principles, the book provides opportunities to explore advanced topics in engineering system dynamics.

With the current water shortage in Australia, there is a need as well as opportunities to look for alternative sources of water for use in concrete production. Water authorities are increasing the supply of recycled water as ‘greywater’ for domestic use and as ‘reclaimed water’ for agricultural and industrial needs. They also encourage sewer mining by the private sector. In addition, it is possible to reuse higher proportions of wash water as well as combined wash water and slurries from concrete production operation (CPO) which will move the concrete industry toward zero-discharge facilities.
This report presents current information on the quality of concrete mixing water in terms of: mandatory limits and guidelines on impurities, as well as permissible performance variations stipulated in leading National and International Standards; and the impact of CPO water on concrete performance. New sources of reclaimed water which are or will be available for industrial usage are identified in terms of quality and impact on Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S). Based on this review, new opportunities and gaps in knowledge will be identified.
The objectives of this study are to:
- compile guidelines on quality of water suitable for making concrete in terms of the presence and limits on impurities;
- review the reuse of water from concrete production operation (CPO);
- review alternative sources of water supply, quality and impact on OH&S.

There is increasing demand and interest in aggregates from non-traditional sources such as from industrial by-products and recycled construction and demolition (C&D) wastes. The American Concrete Institute (ACI) focuses on the removal and reuse of hardened concrete whereas the Department of the Environment and Water Resources in Australia and CSIRO have developed a guide on the use of recycled concrete and masonry materials.
The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) in the UK classified aggregates from primary, recycled and secondary material resources. Recycled aggregates encompass industrial by-products and reused construction products, all of which were once considered wastes and dumped in landfill. The recently introduced European Standards for aggregates do not discriminate between different sources, and are for ‘aggregates from natural, recycled and manufactured materials’. The focus is on fitness for purpose rather than origin of the resource.
The purpose of this report is to review the various sources of aggregate and examine their potential use in concrete and/or road construction materials.
For the purpose of this report, the following classifications are adopted.
- Natural aggregate - Construction aggregates produced from natural sources such as gravel and sand, and extractive products such as crushed rock.
- Manufactured aggregate - Aggregates manufactured from selected naturally occurring materials, by-products of industrial processes or a combination of these.
- Recycled aggregate - Aggregates derived from the processing of materials previously used in a product and/or in construction.
- Reused by-product - Aggregates produced from by-products of industrial processes.

Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia (CCAA) through its Manufactured Sand Subcommittee commenced research in 2004 to support the specification and use of manufactured sands. The first stage examined the physical and mineralogical properties of 21 samples of manufactured sand currently in production on the east coast of Australia. The samples chosen represented a range of rock types, company sources and locations. All were being successfully supplied in blends to the market. The purpose of the first stage was to determine suitable specification tests and specification limits for the supply of manufactured sand. It was the intention of the research to prepare a submission to Standards Australia for a redraft of AS 2758.1 to include manufactured sand.
The results of the first stage of the project were published in January 2007 in CCAA’s Research Report Manufactured Sand – National test methods and specification values. The report recommended that the LCPC packing density test and the Micro Deval test be investigated further and that the effects of the physical properties of manufactured sand on concrete mortar be investigated. This second stage of CCAA research into the use of Manufactured sand addresses these two recommendations. The first section of this report details the supplementary research into the Micro Deval and the LCPC packing density tests.
The second part of this report covers mortar trials on eight of the original twenty one manufactured sand samples.
The report includes:
- a description of each test and a discussion of its relevance to manufactured sands;
- an analysis of the specific test results from this programme and the relationship of the results to current standard specification limits (if known) for the method;
- a discussion as to whether the test method should stand alone or be reported and reviewed in conjunction with the results from other test methods;
- a discussion and recommendation as to whether the test method should be a source quality measure only (ie mainly used for monitoring the variability of a single source) or if it may be used for setting specification values used for control of many sources;
- recommendations regarding specification and/or variability limits.
