PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON STRUCTURES AND GRANULAR
SOLIDS: FROM SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES TO ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS, THE ROYAL
SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND, UK, 1–2 JULY, 2008
This Festschrift marks the 60th birthday of Professor J. Michael Rotter, FREng FRSE FICE FASCE FIStructE FIEAust. It was presented at the Royal Society of Edinburgh on 1–2 July 2008 and contains 29 invited papers authored by his collaborators, colleagues, past and present students in 12 countries. Michael’s research has ranged very widely from scientific principles to engineering applications, with a particular focus on the buckling of thin shell structures and the mechanics of granular solids. He has made major contributions and undertaken wide international collaborations over the last 3 decades. The broad area is highly topical with lasting importance for both fundamental scientific understanding and engineering application to challenging problems. The breadth of his contributions is reflected by the wide range of topics covered by this Festschrift. Michael’s seminal book entitled ‘‘Guide for the Economic Design of Circular Metal Silos’’ has been highly regarded and widely appreciated by both researchers and practising engineers worldwide. His enormous contributions in developing the most advanced standards for loading on silos, structural design of silos and design of shell structures will certainly have a lasting impact on engineering practice.

Improving Portland Cement Concrete Mix Consistency and Production Rate through Two-Stage Mixing
Author: Tyson D. Rupnow, Vernon R. Schaefer, Kejin Wang, Benjamin L Hermanson | Size: 4.5 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: National Concrete Pavement Technology Center | Year: 2007 | pages: 98
Abstract:
A two-stage mixing process for concrete involves mixing a slurry of cementitious materials and water, then adding the slurry to coarse and fine aggregate to form concrete. Some research has indicated that this process might facilitate dispersion of cementitious materials and improve cement hydration, the characteristics of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between aggregate and paste, and concrete homogeneity. The goal of the study was to find optimal mixing procedures for production of a homogeneous and workable mixture and quality concrete using a two-stage mixing operation. The specific objectives of the study are as follows: (1) To achieve optimal mixing energy and time for a homogeneous cementitious material, (2) To characterize the homogeneity and flow property of the pastes, (3) To investigate effective methods for coating aggregate particles with cement slurry, (4) To study the effect of the two-stage mixing procedure on concrete properties, (5) To obtain the improved production rates. Parameters measured for Phase I included: heat of hydration, maturity, and rheology tests were performed on the fresh paste samples, and compressive strength, degree of hydration, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging tests were conducted on the cured specimens. For Phases II and III tests included slump and air content on fresh concrete and compressive and tensile strengths, rapid air void analysis, and rapid chloride permeability on hardened concrete.

ISO 17635:2010 Non-destructive testing of welds - General rules for metallic materials
Author: ISO TC 121 | Size: 1.5 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: ISO | Year: 2010 | pages: 22
This International Standard gives guidelines for the choice of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for welds
and evaluation of the results for quality control purposes, based on quality requirements, material, weld
thickness, welding process, and extent of testing.
This International Standard also specifies general rules and standards to be applied to the different types of
testing, for either the methodology or the acceptance level for metallic materials.
Acceptance levels cannot be a direct interpretation of the quality levels defined in ISO 5817 or ISO 10042.
They are linked to the overall quality of the produced batch of welds.
Requirements for acceptance levels for NDT comply with quality levels stated in ISO 5817 or ISO 10042
(moderate, intermediate, stringent) only on a general basis and not in detail for each indication.
Annex A gives correlations between quality, NDT and acceptance level standards.
Annex B gives an overview of the standards linked to quality levels, acceptance levels, and NDT methods.

Simplified Computations for Effective Moment of Inertia Ie and Minimum Thickness to Avoid Deflection Computations
Author: Jacob S. Grossman | Size: 1.51 MB | Format:PDF | Year: 1981 | Publisher: ACI JOURNAL, Proceedings V. 78, No. 6, Nov.-Dec. 1981, pp. 423-439.
An approximate simplified procedure is described for estimating the effective moment of inertia I, for beams, T-beams, or one-way slabs constructed of normal weight aggregate concrete or lightweight concrete, and reinforced with 40-80 ksi reinforcing bars. The results are compatible with Ie values obtained from Eq. (9-7) of ACI 318-77. The simplified equations do not require computations for moment of inertia of the cracked section Icr, nor the reinforcing requirements initially. Also described is a simplified procedure for establishing minimum member depth so that deflection computations to ascertain serviceability may be avoided when designing the majority of one-way members

Shell structures are found abundantly in engineering designs and are routinely analysed with finite element methods. The objective of this book is to present, in a unified manner, modern finite element procedures for general shell analysis. The first chapters introduce the basic concepts for the analysis of shells, explain the mathematical preliminaries, and discuss the mathematical models of plates and shells including their asymptotic properties. The following chapters deal with finite element discretization methods for plates and shells. At the end of the book, applications of these methods in modern engineering practice are described and an overview of nonlinear shell analysis is given.
Review
From the reviews:
"The major part of the book focuses on the linear analysis of shell structures, for which a discussion of the available mathematical models and discretization procedures is given. … The aim of the present volume is to provide more powerful finite element methods by a deeper physical understanding of shell structural behavior and application of stronger mathematical theories. … This well-written text is not just a survey of finite element methods for shell analyses, but presents the authors’ experiences with shell analysis methods." (K.Marti, ZAMM - Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 85 (2), 2005)
"If we are aware of the rising application of finite shell elements in industrial applications and of the growing size of the problems, an increase of mathematical knowledge for element use and development seems to be required. Just this is the aim of the present book … . This book is recommended to all ‘applied mechanicians’, who intend to study the mathematical backgrounds of finite shell analyses. For all developers of advanced and more powerful finite shell element techniques, its reading is a ‘must’." (Technische Mechanik, Vol. 24 (1), 2004)
"The main objective is to combine the fundamentals of shell theories, mathematical analyses and finite element methods in order to develop shell finite element approximations which are reliable and effective. … The expertises of both authors combined with a very clear and attractive presentation lead to a wonderful masterpiece which is, with no doubt and for a long time, the great reference book for the development of accurate and reliable numerical methods in the thin shell world." (Michel Bernadou, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1103 (5), 2007)
