Product Description:
The concrete industry has embraced innovation and ensured high levels of long-term performance and sustainability through creative applications in design and construction. As a construction material, the versatility of concrete and its intrinsic benefits mean it is still well placed to meet challenges of the construction industry. Indeed, concrete has kept evolving to satisfy ever more stringent, as well as demanding design requirements and calls to improve the performance. This has been achieved through the introduction of new constituent materials, technologies and construction methods.
The current challenges faced by concrete construction may not necessarily be the same as those in the future. However, an ongoing programme of innovation and product development means that concrete should continue to provide cost effective sustainable solutions that are able to turn a challenge into an opportunity.
This book is a collection of papers presented at the International Conference on Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation (Kingston-upon-Thames, UK, 9–10 September 2008). Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation deals with recent innovation in concrete science, technology and practice, and discusses challenges from new materials, technologies,
environmental concerns and economic factors in maintaining concrete construction excellence. The book will be of interest to engineers, designers, researchers and scientists.

Essential Image Processing and GIS for Remote Sensing
Jian Guo Liu, Philippa Mason,
Wiley 2009
ISBN-10: 0470510323
460 Pages
PDF 23,3 MB
Essential Image Processing and GIS for Remote Sensing is an accessible overview of the subject and successfully draws together these three key areas in a balanced and comprehensive manner. The book provides an overview of essential techniques and a selection of key case studies in a variety of application areas.
Key concepts and ideas are introduced in a clear and logical manner and described through the provision of numerous relevant conceptual illustrations. Mathematical detail is kept to a minimum and only referred to where necessary for ease of understanding. Such concepts are explained through common sense terms rather than in rigorous mathematical detail when explaining image processing and GIS techniques, to enable students to grasp the essentials of a notoriously challenging subject area.
The book is clearly divided into three parts, with the first part introducing essential image processing techniques for remote sensing. The second part looks at GIS and begins with an overview of the concepts, structures and mechanisms by which GIS operates. Finally the third part introduces Remote Sensing Applications. Throughout the book the relationships between GIS, Image Processing and Remote Sensing are clearly identified to ensure that students are able to apply the various techniques that have been covered appropriately. The latter chapters use numerous relevant case studies to illustrate various remote sensing, image processing and GIS applications in practice.

Residual Stress Effects on Fatigue and Fracture Testing and Incorporation of Results Into Design - ASTM special technical publication 1497
info:
Residual Stress Effects on Fatigue and Fracture Testing and Incorporation of Results Into Design (ASTM special technical publication, 1497)
By ASTM International
Publisher: ASTM International | 157 pages | 2007-01 | ISBN: 0803144725 | English | PDF | 5.34 MB
Eleven peer-reviewed papers, written by experts in their field, provide an understanding of residual stresses, fatigue crack growth, fatigue lifetime predictions, and their effect on structural integrity. Residual stresses can be present due to processing and manufacturing of materials and structures, so it is imperative to understand how and why they can influence the test data that we used in structural design methodologies. Residual stresses may also be intentionally engineered into structures in attempts to improve fatigue life, and it is equally important that designers understand how to account for these potential effects on fatigue life.

Joining And Repair Of Composite Structures (Astm Special Technical Publication, 1455.)
By Hyonny Kim; Keith T. Kedward
Publisher: ASTM International | 216 pages | 2004-12-01 | ISBN: 0803134835 | PDF | English | 5.08 MB
Product Description:
Twelve peer-reviewed papers provide the latest information on the design, analysis, testing, and fabrication of structural joint and attachment configurations. Topics cover: Adhesively Bonded Attachments includes two useful analysis techniques on closed-form model development and the development of a test specimen configuration suitable for the strength measurement of lap joints loaded under in plane shear. This section also investigates a new double-strap joint design configuration that makes use of extra attachments to improve significantly the joint strength; the correlation between analysis and testing of thick section thermoplastics composite-to-titanium for a marine application; and a "bondable" peel ply application for bonding fiberglass skins to a polyamide honeycomb core. Adhesively Bonded Repair addresses the repair of new armor concepts that are to be used on advanced composite military vehicles, with particular focus on characterizing the dynamic response of the adhesive joints formed in scarf repairs; and the repair of thick steel structures used in earth excavation equipment. Bolted Attachments discusses mechanically-fastened joints, as well as cover bolted and riveted composite joint analyses; the Strain Invariant Failure Theory (SIFT&341; bolted joint failure prediction; and the use of nonlinear finite element analyses for predicting failure in composite joints based on lamina-level failure criteria.

Integral and semi-integral bridges / Martin P. Burke.
p. cm.
ISBN 9781405194181 (hardback : alk. paper)
1. Concrete bridges—Design and construction. 2. Concrete bridges—Joints. I. Title.
This edition first published 2009.
This book is not a primer on the analysis, design, and construction of continuous bridges, or on the design of many of the common components of integral and semi - integral bridges, components that are typical of all deck - type highway bridges. These subjects are described and discussed in many excellent textbooks that have been developed and published by others especially for that purpose. Rather, this book focuses on those subjects that are of signifi cance for the design and construction of integral and semi - integral bridges, subjects that generally are not described and discussed elsewhere.
