Concrete Industrial Ground Floors
A Guide to their Design and Construction
A guide to their design and construction
info:
Description: This third edition meets the increasing demands for distribution, warehousing and retail operations. It is the result of a thorough review of all aspects of floor design and construction by a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, contractors, materials specialists and users. It differs from previous editions in two key aspects. Firstly, guidance on thickness design of slabs is complete, with minimal need for reference to other documents. Secondly, wherever possible, the guidance is non-prescriptive, allowing designers and contractors to use their skills to develop economic solutions for providing the required performance. The thickness design guidance is now primarily based on a limit state format. Most aspects of the report are relevant to small workshops, commercial garages, sports and other recreational facilities. Design methods for pile-supported floors are outlined in an appendix. The guidance on construction, material performance and other requirements is valid for all ground floors. Surface regularity requirements have been reviewed in detail as a result of new survey work. The Report is intended primarily for designers and contractors will will also be valuable for owners and users of industrial facilities. 3rd Edition. March 2003 147 pages

The range of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) applications in new construction, and in the retrofitting of existing civil engineering infrastructure, is continuing to grow worldwide. Furthermore, this progress is being matched by advancing research into all aspects of analysis and design. The Second International Conference on FRP Composites in Civil Engineering (CICE 2004) provided an international forum for the scientific community to exchange ideas and develop future directions in this rapidly developing field.
The papers included in these proceedings cover a wide range of FRP applications in civil engineering and represent the contributions from nine keynote speakers, four invited speakers and over a hundred contributed papers, from over twenty countries.

Within the boiler, piping and pressure vessel industry, pressure relief devices are considered one of the most important safety components. These Devices are literally the last line of defense against catastrophic failure or even lose of life. Written in plain language, this fifth book in the ASME Simplified series addresses the various codes and recommended standards of practice for the maintenance and continued operations of pressure relief valves as specified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Petroleum Institute. Covered in this book are: preventive maintenance procedures, methods for evaluation of mechanical components and accepted methods for cleaning, adjusting and lubricating various components to assure continued operation and speed performance as well as procedures for recording and evaluating these items.
