Abstract:
The elastic modulus of concrete is an important parameter in reinforced concrete design and analysis. With the increased use of lightweight aggregates for structural concrete a better understanding of the relationship between weight, strength, and the elastic modulus is needed. In this study the static modulus for a large variety of aggregates and concrete strengths was analyzed and an empirical formula was derived which is applicable to both Ii ht-weight and normal weight structural concretes. The formula is in excellent agreement with recognized empirical formulas for normal weight concrete.

Computational Modeling of Multiphase Geomaterials discusses how numerical methods play a very important role in geotechnical engineering and in the related activity of computational geotechnics. It shows how numerical methods and constitutive modeling can help predict the behavior of geomaterials such as soil and rock.
After presenting the fundamentals of continuum mechanics, the book explores recent advances in the use of modeling and numerical methods for multiphase geomaterial applications. The authors describe the constitutive modeling of soils for rate-dependent behavior, strain localization, multiphase theory, and applications in the context of large deformations. They also emphasize viscoplasticity and water–soil coupling.
Drawing on the authors’ well-regarded work in the field, this book provides you with the knowledge and tools to tackle problems in geomechanics. It gives you a comprehensive understanding of how to apply continuum mechanics, constitutive modeling, finite element analysis, and numerical methods to predict the behavior of soil and rock.

Earthquake Resistant Design: For Engineers and Architects , 2nd Edition
Author: Dr. David J. Dowrick | Size: 19.34 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2 edition (January 7, 1988) | pages: 540 pages | ISBN: 978-0471915034
Book Description
Publication Date: January 7, 1988 | ISBN-10: 0471915033 | ISBN-13: 978-0471915034 | Edition: 2
Earthquake Resistant Design For Engineers and Architects Second Edition David J. Dowrick This is the second edition of a book which has proved useful to large numbers of engineers and architects since it was first published. The author’s aim is to present the subject of earthquake resistant design from the standpoint of a designer wishing to gain an overall view of the entire process, from the nature of loading through to the details of construction. The procedures used in practice are explained in relation to their theoretical basis, and extensive references are given so that readers can follow this up further if they wish. This second edition reflects the progress made since the original publication of the book in 1977. There has been substantial revision and enlargement, particularly in the treatment of seismotechnics, hazard analysis, design earthquakes, design philosophy, base isolation and geotechnical engineering. Like the first edition, this volume is international in outlook, with examples taken from throughout the world. The book is distinguished by the unified approach the author has brought to a large and often disparate field, and this makes it invaluable to all engineers, architects, and seismologists working in earthquake resistant design, whether they be practitioners, researchers or students. Contents Foreword Preface to the First Edition Preface to the Second Edition Introduction

Earthquake Engineering: Theory and Implementation is divided into three parts, each with a specific focus on earthquake related structures. Coverage includes the nature of earthquakes and their dynamic effects on structures, as well as the behavior of structures under seismic excitations, the design aspects of earthquake-resistant structures (both buildings and bridges) within the scope of seismic provisions of the latest modern and popular codes in their areas such as IBC, ACI, AISC, and AASHTO, and special topics pertinent to the safety of structures under seismic excitations such as geotechnical aspects, foundations, synthetic earthquakes, and seismic isolation.
Written by Dr. Nazzal Armouti, this textbook is a result of a quarter century of experience of the author in the field of Civil Engineering and reflects the state of the art in Earthquake Engineering in its modern form. The book's discussion of theoretical as well as practical sides of the subjects will benefit graduate and advanced undergraduate level students. The text is supplemented by illustrations and examples that make it easy to follow the concepts and better comprehend earthquake effects on structures.

Dear all,
I've putted this request here because I think that here is his place, rather than in "free discussion".
I was wondering if someone knows any paper that talks about sample dimension for testing in triaxial apparatus, it's minimal dimensions and scale effect.
I know what are dimensions of sample for clays and sands, but for gravels I think that the dimensions are small.
Best regards
