This presentation of modern and advanced technology in the reinforced concrete industries speaks to the rise and evolution of construction of reinforced concrete structures worldwide. Addressing the global focus on research into materials and techniques that enhance quality and reduce cost, this book examines all structural systems presently used worldwide on structures ranging from small buildings to high-rises. It refers to both British Standard (BS) and American specifications (ACI) to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of each system. In addition, it details new materials and cutting-edge construction methods, as well as advanced techniques to protect reinforced steel bars within concrete.
From China to Kuala Lumpur to Dubai to downtown New York, amazing buildings and unusual structures create attention with the uniqueness of their design. While attractive to developers and investors, the safe and economic design and construction of reinforced concrete buildings can sometimes be problematic. Advanced Materials and Techniques for Reinforced Concrete Structures discusses how to create safety and economy in design, construction, and maintenance operations plans. The author presents up-to-date data on advanced materials and techniques, exploring the advantages and disadvantages of different structure systems in durability, reliability, construction, and architectural requirements.
Highlighting the competitive nature of the business, the author delineates the statistical parameters that govern quality control in concrete construction projects, defining complicated statistical terms and the theoretical background needed for determining and meeting quality control criteria. He begins with a discussion of how to control the project to meet the owner’s requirements and includes coverage of the international codes for different loads that affect buildings. The book details traditional and emerging materials used in concrete technology such as high-strength, high-performance, and self-compacted concrete as well as those used in all construction stages for various climates. It concludes with a description of a risk-based maintenance plan for reinforced concrete structures.
A guidebook and handbook, this resource provides the information required for decision-making on structure systems, materials, construction methods, and maintenance plans. Filled with case studies, it delineates practical applications and up-to-date methods for designing and constructing buildings that are aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound.

Construction Technology 2: Part. 2: Industrial and Commercial Building
Mike Riley, Alison Cotgrave,
Palgrave Macmillan
2003
ISBN: 0333804821
480 pages
PDF 5,2 MB
The second volume in the "Construction Technology" set looks at the construction of industrial and commercial buildings for students at undergraduate and HNC/D level. Each element of a structure is considered within a comparative study at the end of the chapter dealing with that element. The comparative study aims to summarise in very simple terms the salient features of the alternative options. Other key features include case study material taken from actual building sites, an accessible text design, self assessment review exercises, and an accompanying lecturer and student web site. The two volumes can either be used individually or together to form a complete learning environment for students on building, surveying, land management or civil engineering courses.

Rapid Load Testing on Piles
Paul Holscher, Frits A. Van Tol,
CRC
2008
ISBN: 0415482976
200 pages
PDF 5,3 MB
To obtain data about the stiffness and bearing capacity of a foundation pile, the Rapid Load Test could be an effective and economic alternative for a static load test. In order to judge this, the influence of rate effects in clay and pore water pressures in sand should first be understood. This book presents the latest developments in the research that is carried out to unravel these effects. It contains current contributions by world wide leading academics. Moreover the editors summarize the empirical field data and discuss advanced centrifuge modeling. This indispensable information source on the progress in Rapid Load Testing is intended for researchers and professionals working on the load testing of foundation piles.

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.
