Design of Liquid Retaining Concrete Structures
by R.D. Anchor (Author)
224 pages/14.6MB PDF (scanned copy)
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd; 2nd Revised edition edition (2 Jul 1992)
Language English
ISBN-10: 0340545275
ISBN-13: 978-0340545270
Product Description
This is a guide to the detailed structural design of concrete for retaining or excluding liquids. Structural developments are discussed individually so that expertise can be applied to any situation likely to be encountered - from the construction of water-towers to the damp-proofing of basements. This new edition has been brought up-to-date with the latest changes in UK and international practice. The design methods refer to British Standards (8007, 8110 and 8102) as well as US standards (including ACI codes). Reference is also made to a recent Australian standard.

Introduction
On October 17, 1989, at 5:04:15 p.m. (P.d.t.), a magnitude 6.9 (moment magnitude; surface-wave magnitude, 7.1) earthquake severely shook the San Francisco and Monterey Bay regions. The epicenter was located at 37.04° N. latitude, 121.88° W. longitude near Loma Prieta peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains, approximately 14 km (9 mi) northeast of Santa Cruz and 96 km (60 mi) south-southeast of San Francisco. The earthquake occurred when the crustal rocks comprising the Pacific and North American Plates abruptly slipped as much as 2 meters (7 ft) along their common boundary-the San Andreas fault system. The rupture initiated at a depth of 18 km (11 mi) and extended 35 km (22 mi) along the fault, but it did not break the surface of the Earth .

info: File 1:This paper reviews all the electrochemical and nondestructive techniques from the point of view of corrosion assessment and their applications to bridges,buildings and other civil engineering structures.Reinforced concrete structures have the potential to be very durable and capable of withstanding a variety of adverse environmental conditions.
File 2:In this paper the protection of reinforcing steel in new and existing reinforced
concrete structures by using migration corrosion inhibitors (MCI) and corrosion protective materials (CM) which contain MCI is discussed. The composition and criteria of quality for products and systems for protection and repair of new and existing reinforced concrete structures is discussed too.It is also described the procedure of the restoration with the MCI-inhibitors and materials contended this inhibitors of the reinforced concrete structures of the module no.3 on the
wharf mo. 5 in the harbour Ploče.

This document is intended to cover the primary design requirements for hollow core floor and roof systems. In instances where the design is no different than for other prestressed members, the PCI DesignHandbook and theACIBuildingCode should be consulted formore in-depth discussion. For the architect or consulting engineer, this manual is intended as a guideline for working with hollow core slabs, a guide for the use and application of hollowcore slabs and an indication of some of the limitations of hollow core slabs. For the plant engineer, the manual will hopefully present some backup and reference material for dealing with everyday design problems.
