Product Description:
Sandwich panels are being used increasingly as the cladding of buildings like factories, warehouses, cold stores and retail sheds. This is because they are light in weight, thermally efficient, aesthetically attractive and can be easily handled and erected. However, to date, an authoritative book on the subject was lacking. This new reference work aims to fill that gap.
The designer, specifier and manufacturer of sandwich panels all require a great deal of information on a wide range of subjects. This book was written by a group of European experts under the editorship of a UK specialist in lightweight construction. It provides guidance on:
* materials used in manufacture
* thermal efficiency and air- and water-tightness
* acoustic performance
* performance in fire
* durability
* special problems of sandwich panels in cold stores and chill rooms
* architectural and aesthetic considerations
* structural design at the ultimate and serviceability limit states
* additional structural considerations including fastenings, the effect of openings and the use of sandwich panels as load-bearing walls
* test procedures
The book concludes with some numerical design examples and is highly illustrated throughout.

A comprehensive, state-of-the-art guide to pavement design and materials
With innovations ranging from the advent of Superpave™, the data generated by the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) project, to the recent release of the Mechanistic-Empirical pavement design guide developed under NCHRP Study 1-37A, the field of pavement engineering is experiencing significant development. Pavement Design and Materials is a practical reference for both students and practicing engineers that explores all the aspects of pavement engineering, including materials, analysis, design, evaluation, and economic analysis.
Historically, numerous techniques have been applied by a multitude of jurisdictions dealing with roadway pavements. This book focuses on the best-established, currently applicable techniques available.
Pavement Design and Materials offers complete coverage of:
* The characterization of traffic input
* The characterization of pavement bases/subgrades and aggregates
* Asphalt binder and asphalt concrete characterization
* Portland cement and concrete characterization
* Analysis of flexible and rigid pavements
* Pavement evaluation
* Environmental effects on pavements
* The design of flexible and rigid pavements
* Pavement rehabilitation
* Economic analysis of alternative pavement designs
The coverage is accompanied by suggestions for software for implementing various analytical techniques described in these chapters. These tools are easily accessible through the book’s companion Web site, which is constantly updated to ensure that the reader finds the most up-to-date software available.

National Centre for the Performing Arts (China) and colloquially described as The Egg, is an opera house in Beijing, People's Republic of China. The Centre, an ellipsoid dome of titanium and glass surrounded by an artificial lake, seats 5,452 people in three halls and is almost 12,000 m² in size. It was designed by French architect Paul Andreu. Construction started in December 2001 and the inaugural concert was held in December 2007.

This text is intended for the concerned reader - whether engineer, architect, builder, or student - who wants to know more about why and how the parts of concrete buildings move and change shape, and how these changes can be controlled. Temperature and moisture changes are always at work, changing the length, width, and thickness of concrete, masonry, and other building materials. Gravity pulls, bends, and twists the parts of a building as do wind, rain, snow, and earthquake. Chemical actions sometimes occur and cause movements that must be anticipated. These individual movements are minute, but they can have noticeable effects as the building adjusts itself into balance with its environment. When they are recognized and understood, they are easier to cope with. Although the causes of the movements, fractures, and distress encountered in buildings can be complex, the remedies are usually quite simple. Ways are shown for controlling these movements within the state of the art. If such preventive measures are included in the planning stages, the builder as well as the user can have confidence that the building will be attractive, comfortable, and safe.
