Corrosion of metals in concrete is a significant problem throughout the world. In many instances, corrosion can be avoided if proper attention is given to detailing, concrete materials and mixture proportions, and construction practices. This guide contains information on aspects of each of these. In addition, the guide contains recommendations for protecting in-service structures exposed to corrosive conditions. The guide is intended for designers, materials suppliers, contractors, and all others engaged in concrete construction.

Given the recent advances in site investigation techniques, computing, access to information and monitoring, plus the current emphasis on safety, accountability and sustainability, this book introduces an up-to-date methodology for the design of all types of rock engineering projects, whether surface or underground. Guidance is provided on the nature of the modeling to support design and the information required for design; also included is a procedure for technical auditing of the modeling and design together with the related protocol sheets. Written by two eminent authors, clearly structured and containing many illustrations, this volume is intended for consulting engineers, contractors, researchers, lecturers and students working on rock engineering projects.
Features
Offers a modern, lively, and illustrated approach to rock engineering design by two eminent experts in the field
Discusses a wide variety of new techniques and anticipates on future developments in computing capacity, natural resources, and more
Includes in-depth case studies on a rock slope and on an underground hydroelectric plant, plus a variety of protocol sheets to support application
Details the use of protocol sheets for technical auditing, supported by worked examples (template sheets can be downloaded from www.crcpress.com)
Provides all essential terminology and rock mass classifications, plus an extensive bibliography

Expansion into mid-rise, high-rise and non-residential applications presents one of the most promising avenues for the North American wood industry to diversify its end use markets. This may be achieved by:
■ Designing to new building heights with Light Frame Wood Construction
■ Revival of Heavy Timber Frame Construction
■ Adoption of Cross-laminated Timber (CLT)
■ Facilitating Hybrid Construction
There are concerted efforts both in Canada and in the United States towards realizing that goal. In fact, the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Quebec went even further and created specific initiatives to support the use of wood in those applications.
This Handbook is focused on one of these options – adoption of cross-laminated timber (CLT). CLT is an innovative wood product that was introduced in the early 1990s in Austria and Germany and has been gaining popularity in residential and non-residential applications in Europe. The Research and Standards Subcommittee of the industry’s CLT Steering Committee identified CLT as a great addition to the wood product toolbox” and"expects CLT to enhance the re-introduction of wood-based systems in applications such as 5- to 10-story buildings where heavy timber systems were used a century ago. Several manufacturers have started to produce CLT in North America, and their products have already been used in the construction of a number of buildings.
CLT, like other structural wood-based products, lends itself well to prefabrication, resulting in very rapid construction, and dismantling at the end of its service life. The added benefit of being made from a renewable resource makes all wood-based systems desirable from a sustainability point of view.

Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is a concrete of no-slump consistency in its unhardened state that is typically transported, placed, and compacte using earth and rockfill construction equipment. This report includes the use of RCC in structures where measures should be taken to cope with the generation of heat from hydration of the cementitious materials and attendant volume change to minimize cracking. Material mixture proportioning, properties, design considerations, construction, and quality control are covered.

For the last couple of decades it has been recognized that the foundation material on which a structure is constructed may interact dynamically with the structure during its response to dynamic excitation to the extent that the stresses and deflections in the system are modified from the values that would have been developed if it had been on a rigid foundation. This phenomenon is examined in detail in the book. The basic solutions are examined in time and frequency domains and finite element and boundary element solutions compared. Experimental investigations aimed at correlation and verification with theory are described in detail. A wide variety of SSI problems may be formulated and solved approximately using simplified models in lieu of rigorous procedures; the book gives a good overview of these methods. A feature which often lacks in other texts on the subject is the way in which dynamic behavior of soil can be modeled. Two contributors have addressed this problem from the computational and physical characterization viewpoints.
The book illustrates practical areas with the analysis of tunnel linings and stiffness and damping of pile groups. Finally, design code provisions and derivation of design input motions complete this thorough overview of SSI in conventional engineering practice.
Taken in its entirety the book, authored by fifteen well known experts, gives an in-depth review of soil-structure interaction across a broad spectrum of aspects usually not covered in a single volume. It should be a readily useable reference for the research worker as well as the advance level practitioner.
