The book provides a state-of-the-art review from leading experts in the field on the developments which have appeared over the last decade or so, on the use of textile fiber composites in structural engineering, with a focus on both new and existing concrete and masonry structures. The book reviews materials, production technologies, fundamental properties, testing, design aspects, applications, and directions for future research and developments.
The book provides broad coverage of a wide range of topics and includes 18 contributions from leading experts in the field. The material is divided into four parts:
Part1 covers materials, production technologies, and manufacturing of textile fiber composites for structural engineering.
Part2 moves on to review testing, mechanical behavior, and durability aspects of textile fiber composites.
Part3 analyzes the structural behavior and design of textile reinforced concrete
part4 details the strengthening and seismic retrofitting of existing structures with textilebased composites.

Asphalt Materials Science and Technology, 1st Edition
Author(s)/Editor(s): JAMES G. SPEIGHT | Size: 6 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Elsevier Inc. | Year: 2016 | pages: 631 | ISBN: 978-0-12-800273-5
Asphalt is a complex but popular civil engineering material. Design engineers must understand these complexities in order to optimize its use. Whether or not it is used to pave a busy highway, waterproof a rooftop or smooth out an airport runway, Asphalt Materials Science and Technology acquaints engineers with the issues and technologies surrounding the proper selection and uses of asphalts. With this book in hand, researchers and engineering will find a valuable guide to the production, use and environmental aspect of asphalt.
Covers the Nomenclature and Terminology for Asphalt including:
Performance Graded (PG) Binders, Asphalt Cement (AC), Asphalt-Rubber (A-R) Binder, Asphalt Emulsion and Cutback Asphalt
Includes Material Selection Considerations, Testing, and applications
Biodegradation of Asphalt and environmental aspects of asphalt use

Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery, 4th Edition
Author(s)/Editor(s): Charles J. Kibert | Size: 18 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: John Wiley & Sons | Year: 2013 | pages: 562 | ISBN: 9780470904459
The leading green building reference, updated with the latest advances in the fieldSustainable Construction is the leading reference for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. With broad coverage including architecture, engineering, and construction, this book nevertheless delivers detailed information on all aspects of the green building process, from materials selection to building systems and more. This new fourth edition has been updated to reflect the latest codes and standards, including LEED v4, and includes new coverage of carbon accounting. The discussion has been updated to align with the current thinking on economics, climate change, net zero buildings, and more, with contributions by leaders in the field that illustrate the most recent shifts in thinking and practice. Ancillary materials including an instructor's manual and PowerPoint presentations for each chapter help bring this clear and up-to-date information into the classroom, making this book a valuable reference for working construction professionals. Also, Interactive graphics found throughout the course help activate the content and highlight key concepts for students.
Sustainable construction has gone mainstream, and will one day be the industry norm. This book provides a comprehensive reference to all aspects of a project to show you how green building concepts and principles apply throughout the design and construction process.
Get up to date on the latest green building codes and standards
Learn about the newest technology in green building materials
Adopt the best practices in procurement and delivery systems
Apply sustainability concepts to all aspects of construction and design
Green buildings operate at a very high level of efficiency, which is made possible only by careful consideration every step of the way. Appropriate land use, landscaping, construction materials, siting, water use, and more all play a role in a structure's ultimate carbon footprint. Sustainable Construction provides clear guidance for all aspects of green building, including the most recent advances and the latest technology.

Low-Volume Road Engineering: Design, Construction and Maintenance
Author(s)/Editor(s): Robert A. Douglas | Size: 14.5 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Taylor and Francis Group | Year: 2016 | pages: 334 | ISBN: 9781482212655
" Defined as roads with traffic volumes of no more than 400 vehicles per day, they have enormous impacts on economies, communication, and social interaction. Low-volume roads comprise, at one end of the spectrum, farm-to-market roads, roads in developing countries, northern roads, roads on aboriginal lands and parklands; and at the other end of the spectrum, heavy haul roads for mining, oil and gas, oil sands extraction, and forestry.Low-Volume Road Engineering: Design, Construction, and Maintenance gives an international perspective to the engineering design of low-volume roads and their construction and maintenance. It is a single reference drawing from the dispersed literature. It lays out the basic principles of each topic, from road location and geometric design, pavement design, slope stability and erosion control, through construction to maintenance, then refers the reader to more comprehensive treatment elsewhere. Wherever possible, comparisons are made between the standard specifications and practices existing in the US, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
Topics covered include the following:
Road classification, location, and geometric design
Pavement concepts, materials, and thickness design
Drainage, erosion and sediment control, and watercrossings
Slope stability
Geosynthetics
Road construction, maintenance, and maintenance management
Low-Volume Road Engineering: Design, Construction, and Maintenance is a valuable reference for engineers, planners, designers and project managers in consulting firms, contracting firms and NGOs. It also is an essential reference in support of university courses on transportation engineering and planning, and on mining, oil and gas, and forestry infrastructure.

Analysis of possible use of pyrolytic products as binders in asphalt mixes

Abstract: New binders are produced in order to reduce dependence on crude oil. This study aims to evaluate pyrolytic products and their blends with bitumen, as a possible substitution for bitumen. Bitumen of the penetration grade 70/100 was used as a matrix for the blends. Standard test were conducted in order to determine mechanical properties of the reference bitumen, pyrolytic products, and their blends.
The results obtained during this study indicate that pyrolytic products can be used as a substitution for bitumen originating from crude oil or, in proper proportions, as an additive to that bitumen.

Analysis of Structures on Elastic Foundations is a practical guide for structural and geotechnical engineers as well as graduate students working in foundation engineering. The author provides practical methods of analysis and describes in detail various foundations, including simple beams on elastic foundations, and very complex foundations such as mat foundations supported on piles. Methods for fast and easy hand analysis in addition to methods for exact computer analysis are presented. Most of the methods are for three soil models: Winkler foundation, elastic half-space, and elastic layer. Numerical examples throughout the book illustrate the applications of these methods.

This work brings together material from a wide range of disciplines to argue for cultural intervention as a means to radical change, while recognizing that most such efforts in the past have not delivered the dreams of their perpetrators.
It is arranged in nine chapters, each designated by a date between 1871 and 2001.
This is an academic book for second- and third-year undergraduates in art, architecture, cultural geography, cultural planning, cultural studies, urban sociology and urban studies; and for post-graduates in trans-disciplinary fields of culture, society and environment.
