Creep Behavior and Its Prediction for Normal Strength Concrete Made from Crushed Clay Bricks as Coarse Aggregate
Author: Syed Ishtiaq Ahmad and Sushanta Roy | Size: ?? MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering / Volume 24 / Issue 3 / TECHNICAL PAPERS | Year: 2012
To study the effect of crushed clay bricks as coarse aggregate on creep behavior of concrete, a comprehensive testing program was conducted. Concrete cylinder specimens having characteristic or specified compressive strength of 17.2, 24.0, and 27.5 MPa were prepared from both natural stone and crushed clay brick aggregate. Mix design ratios were evaluated in a way so that volumetric content of coarse aggregate, both brick and stone, remained same for all concrete samples. Specimens were subjected to creep testing at the 7th and 28th day after casting and creep strain data were recorded up to 300 days. Results show that although strength and other environmental parameters remain the same, concrete made from crushed clay brick as coarse aggregate have a higher creep strain than that of concrete made from natural stone aggregate. This increase in creep strain ranges from 30% to as high as 45% for the 300-day loading history considered. Additionally, to select an appropriate model to predict creep in brick aggregate concrete, the effectiveness of five widely used prediction models were examined. Predicted creep strain from ACI 209R, CEB-FIP, B3, GL2000, and Eurocode 2 models were compared with experimental results. By using statistical analysis, the authors established that prediction of creep by GL2000 model is closest to the experimental results. Finally, a modification factor has been proposed that may be incorporated so that prediction of creep strain by the GL2000 model in brick aggregate concrete becomes more realistic.

Seismic design with supplemental energy dissipation devices
Author: Robert D Hanson/t t soong | Size: 14 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: EERI (Earthquake Engineering Research Institute) | Year: 2001 | pages: 135 | ISBN: 0943198135/978-0943198132
Seismic Design with Supplemental Energy Dissipation Devices imparts basic concepts of the supplemental energy dissipation technology to design engineers, architects, and building officials so they can understand its benefits and limitations in structural applications. The approach is introductory. References are cited throughout the monograph for readers who wish to study the subject in more depth. Supplemental energy dissipation systems are recent innovations to improve earthquake building performance. Research has led to a better understanding of the effects of supplemental energy dissipation on the earthquake response of buildings. Over the last 20 years, significant progress has been made in developing manufactured systems. They are being reliably designed and installed in new as well as existing buildings. Development of design codes and standards for energy dissipation systems has progressed slowly. This monograph summarizes information on their use in designing new earthquake-resistant buildings and upgrading the seismic performance of existing buildings. The following areas are covered:
* The physical consequences of adding energy dissipation systems to a structure for various types of input motion
* Summary of generic energy dissipation device characteristics
* Summary of pros and cons of specific device characteristics in meeting selected design objectives
* Seismic design limits for selecting energy dissipation systems
* Design approaches for the limits of elastic or inelastic response

The purpose of the Eurocodes is to achieve harmonization between structural and geotechnical design in Europe. All of the Eurocodes are based on the same limit state philosophy that has not been widely used before for geotechnical designs. This book gives a clear and detailed demonstration of how the philosophy and principles presented in Eurocode 7 (EC7), are applied in practice. Simple language and detailed examples are used to explain the clauses in EC7, which are written in the formal and often confusing Eurocode language. The worked examples of different geotechnical designs are an important feature of this book. In particular the authors explain how Cases A, B and C are used in geotechnical designs and how characteristic and design parameters are selected. The book also outlines the most recent developments that have occurred, such as the introduction of additional design cases, as EC7 moves towards publication as a full European standard. The types of design covered include: Shallow strip and pad foundations; Pile foundations; Cantilever and embedded sheet pile retaining walls; Ground anchors; Slope stability problems; Fills. This book is an essential source of information for practising engineers involved in geotechnical designs and for engineering geologists and others involved in ground investigations and the testing of soils. It will also be a valuable text for undergraduate and postgraduate civil engineering students.
Thank you in advance

Principles of Environmental Science and Technology
Author: K. Saravanan | Size: 3.65 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: New Age International Pvt Ltd Publishers | Year: 2008 | pages: 200 | ISBN: 8122415849 & 9788122415841
This book is meant to be an introductory text on the Fundamentals of Environmental Science and Engineering. Today, knowledge of Environmental Science is essential for students as well as practicing engineers and scientists of all disciplines. Here an attempt has been made to provide precise and upta date infoIlllation on the fundamental aspects of Environmental Science and Engineering without going much in-depth in to specific areas, so as to be useful for a cross section of fields of study. Indian technical universities are making the study of Environmental Science and Engineering mandatory for all courses and hence a 'comprehensive textbook covering all domains of this field (including the policy aspects and management practices) is the need of the hour.
The book adopts a simple narrative style keeping in mind both the knowledge requirements and the examination needs of university students. The authors wish to profusely thank all those who have supported them in their effort viz. the Management, the Principal, teachers, professors and students of our institution Kongu Engineering College, Perundurai, Erode. The authors also thank Mis New Age International (P) Ltd. for having accepted to publish the work and the wonderful way they have brought out this book in such a short time.
