This book deals with sealants in the construction industry. The primary focus of the authors is on medium- to high-performance sealants used in buildings and certain civil engineering structures, as this represents the most dynamic segment of the industry. The past two decades have seen enormous advances in the technology and application of construction sealants. Many areas of knowledge converge in the building sealant industry, and the subject is of interest to diverse technical disciplines and relevant in a wide range of technologies and applications. Therefore, the book addresses a broad range of professionals—architects, engineers, material specifiers, contractors, development and technical service personnel at sealant manufacturers, researchers at universities and national test and certification institutes, and the general public who has an interest in sealants.
The sections of this book have been written with the current interests and educational background of various professionals in mind. The various sections cover a wide range of subjects related to building sealants ranging from how to choose sealants and how to determine the key sealant properties and joint design for various applications to specific application tips along with a forensic section on how to determine the causes of sealant failures. The chemistry section will be of interest to technical experts, sealant compounders, or forensic experts. More technical sections address the design and engineering of structurally glazed systems and the chemistry and properties of the various generic types from silicones to hybrids, urethanes, and others.

Reinforced Concrete Design Eighth Edition integrates current research and literature to give readers a modern understanding of the strength and behavior of reinforced concrete members and simple reinforced concrete structural systems. It takes a fundamental, non-calculus, practice-oriented approach to the design and analysis of reinforced concrete structural members, using numerous examples and a step-by-step solution format.
This eighth edition is fully updated to conform to the American Concrete Institute's latest Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-11), the current U.S. design standard. A new chapter discusses practical considerations and rules of thumb for designing reinforced concrete structures, including initial sizing and layout; calculation of approximate moment and shears in concrete girders; repair methods for existing structures, and a new student design project. The text also offers conceptual insights into topics such as prestressed concrete and detailing.

Beijing Record: A Physical and Political History of Planning Modern Beijing
Author(s)/Editor(s): Jun Wang | Size: 146 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: World Scientific | Year: 2011 | pages: 536 | ISBN: 9814295728
In 2003, the Chinese Xinhua News Agency journalist Wang Jun published the bestseller "Beijing Record", the result of ten years of research on the urban transformation of Beijing in the last fifty years. Home to more than 15 million people, this ancient capital city - not surprisingly - has a controversial, complicated history of planning and politics, development and demolition. The publication raises a number of unsettling questions: Why has a valuable historical architecture such as city ramparts, gateways, old temples, memorial archways and the urban fabric of hutongs (traditional alleyways) and siheyuan (courtyard houses) been visibly disappearing for decades? Why are so many houses being demolished at a time of economic growth? Is no one prepared to stand up for the preservation of the city? For his research, Wang went through innumerable archives, read diaries and collected an unprecedented quantity of data, accessing first-hand materials and unearthing photographs that clearly document the city's relentless, unprecedented physical makeover. In addition, he conducted more than 50 in-person interviews with officials, planners, scholars and other experts. Wang's publication presents a survey of the main developments and government-level (both central and municipal) decisions, devoting a lot of attention to the 1950s and 1960s, when Beijing experienced a critical wave of transformative events. Shortly after its publication by SDX joint Publishing Company House in October 2003, "Beijing Records" ignited a firestorm of debate and discussion in a country where public interaction over such a sensitive subject rarely surfaces.

Abstract: In recent decades, shear walls and tube structures have been the most appropriate structural forms for the construction of high-rise concrete buildings. Thus, recent Reinforced Concrete (RC) tall buildings have more complicated structural behaviour than before. Therefore, studying the structural systems and associated behaviour of these types of structures is very important. The main objective of this paper is to study the linear and nonlinear behaviour of one of the tallest RC buildings, a 56-storey structure, located in a high seismic zone in Iran. In this tower, shear wall systems with irregular openings are utilized under both gravity and lateral loads and may result in some especial issues in the behaviour of structural elements such as shear walls and coupling beams. The analytical methodologies and the results obtained in the evaluation of life-safety and collapse prevention of the building are also discussed. The weak zones of the structure based on the results are introduced, and a detailed discussion of some important structural aspects of the high-rise shear wall system with consideration of the concrete time dependency and constructional sequence effects is also included.
