Product Description:
Non-hazardous waste materials and by-products which are mostly landfilled can be used in making concrete and similar construction materials. This book gives a summary of this usage: one chapter is devoted to each material, comprising an introduction, chemical and physical properties, usage potential, and the impact of the material on the various properties of concrete. The waste materials and by-products covered in the book are; granulated blast furnace slag, metakaolin, waste and recycled plastics, scrap-tire, waste glass, coal fly ash, rice husk ash, municipal solid waste ash, wood ash, volcanic ash, cement kiln dust and foundry sand.

Book Description:
This book outlines the state-of-the-practice in the use of waste materials in highway construction in the U.S. and discusses the applications of selected waste materials including: waste tires; waste glass; reclaimed paving materials; slags and ashes; building rubble; sewage sludge; incinerator residue. An evaluation based on technical, environmental, and economic factors indicated that reclaimed paving materials, coal fly ash, blast furnace slag, bottom ash, boiler slag, steel slag, and rubber tires have significant potential to replace conventional materials for various applications in highway construction, and should be projected for future construction. Specific applications of the waste products and potential problems associated with their usage in highway operations are also included.

Product Description:
The concept of Sustainable Development, implicating the protection of soil and groundwater, the limitation of waste production and the re-use of soild waste materials is still the leading theme of WASCON '94. Although it is clearly recognized in most countries that products derived from solid waste materials can be applied as construction materials, research is still needed to assess various environmental problems.

I need a complete project on "Effect on Concrete at elevated temperatures". My Professor want post fire effects specially... much be very thankful if someone guide me...
EVALUATION OF HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE PRESTRESSED BRIDGE GIRDER DESIGN
This research study focuses on evaluating the design of HSC prestressed bridge
girders. Specifically there were three major objectives. First, to determine the current
state of practice for the design of HSC prestressed bridge girders. Second, to evaluate
the controlling limit states for the design of HSC prestressed bridge girders and identify
areas where some economy in design may be gained. Third, to conduct a preliminary
assessment of the impact of raising critical design criteria with an objective of increasing
the economy and potential span length of HSC prestressed girders.
The first objective was accomplished through a literature search and survey. The
literature search included review of design criteria for both the AASHTO Standard and
LRFD Specifications. Review of relevant case studies of the performance of HSC
prestressed bridge girders, as well all as of important design parameters for HSC were
carried out. In addition, a survey was conducted to gather information and document
critical aspect of current design practices for HSC prestressed bridges
The second objective was accomplished by conducting a parametric study for
single span HSC prestressed bridge girders to mainly investigate the controlling limit
states for both the AASHTO Standard (2002) and LRFD (2002) Specifications.
AASHTO Type IV and Texas U54 girder sections were considered. The effects of
changes in concrete strength, strand diameter, girder spacing and span length were
evaluated.

Hi,
My brother is a Graduate of an audio engineering school in the studio work (as an engineer obviously).However,he have always been interested in the design of studios and recording spaces.My question: What are the best schools for Acoustical Engineering specifically for Recording Studio Design?
