This book discusses design aspects of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) members, including the behavior of the SFRC and its modeling. It also examines the effect of various parameters governing the response of SFRC members in detail. Unlike other publications available in the form of guidelines, which mainly describe design methods based on experimental results, it describes the basic concepts and principles of designing structural members using SFRC as a structural material, predominantly subjected to flexure and shear. Although applications to special structures, such as bridges, retaining walls, tanks and silos are not specifically covered, the fundamental design concepts remain the same and can easily be extended to these elements. It introduces the principles and related theories for predicting the role of steel fibers in reinforcing concrete members concisely and logically, and presents various material models to predict the response of SFRC members in detail. These are then gradually extended to develop an analytical flexural model for the analysis and design of SFRC members.

Elastic Modulus, Poisson's Ratio, and Compressive Strength Relationships at Early Ages
Author(s): Francis A. Oluokun, Edwin G. Burdette, and J. Harold Deatherage
Published By:ACI Materials Journal
Published Year:1991
Abstract: Presents the results of an experimental investigation into the relative relationships between the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and the cylinder compressive strength of concrete, especially at early ages. The applicability to concrete at early ages of some of the existing relations between these properties was also researched. Tests were performed on four different concrete mixes using conventional 6 x 12 in. concrete cylinder test specimens. Test results were obtained for ages ranging from 6 hr to 28 days. Analyses of test results show that the compressive strength and the elastic modulus are related, and an increase in one is generally similarly reflected in an increase in the other. The commonly accepted relationship that the elastic modulus of concrete is proportional to the 0.5 power of the cylinder compressive strength was found to be accurate for the elastic modulus at ages 12 hr and above for all concrete mixes investigated. Poisson's ratio was found to be insensitive to both the age and the richness of the concrete mix and did not change appreciably with compressive strength development.

The many large earthquakes of the last decade, including the series in Christchurch in 2010-2011 and the Tohoku earthquake in Japan, have focused even greater attention on the cyclic behaviour of soils during these events. Great advances have recently been made on all aspects of soil dynamics, from the prediction of liquefaction based on site investigation to the impact of shaking on geotechnical systems.
The Géotechnique Symposium in Print took place at the Institution of Civil Engineers on 15 June 2015 and provided a forum to discuss the latest advances in the area of geotechnical earthquake engineering. These proceedings bring together the international research presented at the symposium and a number of related papers which were published in earlier issues of Géotechnique. The papers selected for the symposium covered a wide range of topics, including:
· dynamic response of geotechnical systems;
· prediction of liquefaction and evaluation of its impacts; and
· seismic stability of slopes.
Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering provides researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive introduction to the recent advances in this area from an international perspective.

Corrosion of reinforcing steel is now recognized as the major cause of degradation of concrete structures in many parts of the world. Despite this, infrastructure expenditure is being unreasonably decreased by sequestration and the incredible shrinking discretionary budget. All components of our infrastructure including highways, airports, water supply, waste treatment, energy supply, and power generation require significant investment and are subjected to degradation by corrosion, which significantly reduces the service life, reliability, functionality of structures and equipment, and safety. Corrosion of Steel in Concrete Structures provides a comprehensive review of the subject, in addition to recent advances in research and technological developments, from reinforcing materials to measurement techniques and modelling.
This book contains not only all the important aspects in the field of corrosion of steel reinforced concrete but also discusses new topics and future trends. Part One of the book tackles theoretical concepts of corrosion of steel in concrete structures. The second part moves on to analyse the variety of reinforcing materials and concrete, including stainless steel and galvanized steel. Part Three covers measurements and evaluations, such as electrochemical techniques and acoustic emission. Part Four reviews protection and maintenance methods, whilst the final section analyses modelling, latest developments and future trends in the field.
The book is essential reading for researchers, practitioners and engineers who are involved in materials characterisation and corrosion of steel in concrete structures.
* Provides comprehensive coverage on a broad range of topics related to the corrosion of steel bars in concrete
* Discusses the latest measuring methods and advanced modeling techniques
* Reviews the range of reinforcing materials and types of concrete

Theory of Elasticity and Stress Concentration comprehensively covers elasticity and stress concentration and demonstrates how to apply the theory to practical engineering problems. It presents a new approach to the topic without the need for complicated mathematics and the principles and meaning of stress concentration are covered without reliance on numerical analysis. Examples are included throughout and end of chapter problems and solutions are also provided.

When using Report you are requested to check twice if the reason is included in the options. The options are numbered from 1 to 5 in the reported post and have a short description for the user reporting before selecting the reason but the actual plugin is not clear enough for moderators trying to understand the real reason. Please edit your post after sending it and add text explaining the reason with some details or send a PM to moderators explaining the detailed reason.
Of course users using Report for bad reasons will be warned for spam as many of our users know.
