  The Sustainable Use of Concrete
Posted by: ir_71 - 07-02-2013, 04:43 PM - Forum: Concrete - Replies (1)

The Sustainable Use of Concrete

Author: Koji Sakai, Kagawa University, Japan; Takafumi Noguchi | Size: 15.04 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2012 | pages: 170 | ISBN: 9780203817179

Cement-based concrete has excellent properties as a construction material, and the raw materials of cement—rocks, and limestone and clay—are bountiful. Yet its production generates high quantities of CO2, making it a potentially unsustainable material. However, there are no alternatives to concrete and steel as basic methods for development of socioeconomic infrastructure at this time. Highlighting sustainability issues in the construction industry, The Sustainable Use of Concrete presents guidelines on how to move toward sustainable concrete construction.
The book begins by clarifying the historic background and meaning of sustainability, after which it outlines areas that need to be considered in connection with sustainability in the concrete and construction field. It examines environmental, social and cultural, and economic aspects, then considers an evaluation system of sustainability. The authors include various tools and ISO standards, and then explore technologies for sustainability, with case studies and examples that promote understanding of current technologies.
Although the construction sector, in the broadest sense, has come to recognize that infrastructure development over the past two centuries has been unsustainable, it has been slow to adjust. Comprehensive information and relevant practical guidance are very scarce. This book lays out a roadmap for creating a human-friendly and safe environment with low environmental burden.

  A general solution to vibrations of beams on variable winkler elastic foundation
Posted by: arshiakh - 07-02-2013, 04:15 PM - Forum: Journals, Papers and Presentations - No Replies

A general solution to vibrations of beams on variable winkler elastic foundation

Author: Ding Zhou | Size: 583 KB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: Computers & Structures(Elsevier) | Year: 1993 | pages: 83-90 | ISBN: ---


[Image: info.png]

A general solution to vibrations of beams on variable Winkler elastic foundation is presented. The exact solution of the dynamic response of the beam is obtained by considering the reaction force of the foundation on the beam as the external force acting on the beam, which is an integral equation including the displacement of the beam. The four unknown constants in the solution are decided by the boundary conditions of the beam. The integrals in the solution are approximately and numerically calculated by means of the trapezoidal rule. By letting the right-hand side of the solution equal its left-hand side only at those discrete nodes of the quadrature, the frequency equation is obtained which is described by a determinant whose order is equal to the number of the discrete nodes. The mode shape functions are represented by a series of unified analytical functions. The analysis and programing are very simple. It is possible to find the natural frequencies and mode shapes of vibrations by using a small number of the discrete nodes in the trapezoidal quadrature and it is concluded that the use of the method yields better convergence at lower computation costs. Finally, several examples are given for simply supported beams on variable Winkler elastic foundation.
