What is FOAM CONCRETE?
Foam concrete is cement bonded material manufactured by blending a very fluid cement paste (slurry) and then injecting stable, pre-formed foam into the slurry. The volume of slurry to foam dictates the density of the foam concrete.
The physical characteristics of foam concrete are determined by various mix designs. These may include the use of Portland Cement (CEM1) either on it's own or in combination with a percentage of Pulverized Fly Ash, limestone dust or sand.
Together with a pre-determined volume of entrained air, this slurry becomes fresh foam concrete, which has the appearance of a light gray mousse or milk-shake.

I've seen a laminated chart used to classify the soil according to their grain size, color, angularity, etc. I think it is very useful in preliminary field inspections. Does anyone has a digital copy of these charts?

Hi to all members to this forum,
I want to set up a two monitor in one cpu.
I have already 2 monitors, I bought vga splitter coz i thought this the one required in having 2 monitors, but i didnt succeed. When I used the vga splitter the display is cloning only I cannot extend the display.
So, I search in the net and I found out that I need to buy vga to dvi adaptor to connect vga from my second monitor to my cpu which has dvi.
Now my two monitor was detected already in my system and I extended the display to my second monitor. The problem is my second monitor will remain black(no display) which is from the tutorial i saw it will automatically display the background and can drag the windows to the second monitor.
In my case now, I can drag the window display to my second monitor but I cannot see it.
Hope other members can help me or give advice what to do coz im trying to solve it out since yesterday(oct. 9 2010)
here's my graphic hardware image:

In 2005, 2,143 of 5,361 roads deaths in Germany occurred on quiet roads at night; 31.6% of the road users who were seriously injured were involv ed in accidents at twilight or after dark.
Good road lighting improves visual performance and reduces accidents by an average of 30%.
As illuminance increases, the incidence of car theft, burglaries, physical and sexual assault and
other forms of night crime sharply decreases.

A multidisciplinary introduction to engineering design using real-life case studies.
Case Studies in Engineering Design provides students and practising engineers with many practical and accessible case studies which are representative of situations engineers face in professional life, and which incorporate a range of engineering disciplines.
Different methodologies of approaching engineering design are identified and explained prior to their application in the case studies. The case studies have been chosen from real-life engineering design projects and aim to expose students to a wide variety of design activities and situations, including those that have incomplete, or imperfect, information. This book encourages the student to be innovative, to try new ideas, whilst not losing sight of sound and well-proven engineering practice.
A set of notes for lecturers to accompany the book is available free to download from:
