Super-High-Strength High Performance Concrete

Super-High-Strength High Performance Concrete

When produced correctly concrete can be extremely strong with high load-bearing capacity and superior durability. Another noteworthy property is the relatively low amount of energy and resources consumed during production. Super-High-Strength High Performance Concrete brings together the results of a major research project by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Doctoral Foundation of the Ministry of Education of China. This ten-year project explored the properties performance and potential of super-high-strength high performance (SHSHP) concrete. With a view towards improved production that optimizes the strength and durability of concrete the book presents a host of topics on the cutting edge of concrete research. These include: A new method for the specific strength analysis of the pozzolanic effect of active mineral admixtures Analysis of the strength composition of SHSHP concrete Optimization of raw materials and mix proportion parameters for strength and flowability Analysis of the mechanical properties deformation and durability of SHSHP concrete Methods for decreasing autogeneous shrinkage Testing methods for SHSHP concrete The book concludes with a consideration of the practical and economic benefits of these optimized concretes. A systematic study of the different aspects of this essential commodity as well as the future direction of concrete science and technology this book is a valuable resource for material scientists and engineers engaged in developing better structures.

Metal and Ceramic Biomaterials Volume II: Strength and Surface

Metal and Ceramic Biomaterials Volume II: Strength and Surface

The understanding of the in vivo performance of synthetic materials is largely dependent upon a profound knowledge of the properties of the materials in question. Analogous to materials science in its broadest sense the basis for biomaterials science is formed by microstructural there. It is therefore that in this series on structure property relationships in biomaterials a substantial part is devoted to the analysis of the basic properties of the various synthetic biomaterials. In addition the effect of microstructural aspects on properties is considered at great length. | Metal and Ceramic Biomaterials Volume II: Strength and Surface

Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

This book is about the principal concept of soil mechanics that become the basis in explaining the soil mechanical behaviours. It is the extended concept of effective stress of Terzaghi and it is known as the concept of effective stress and shear strength interaction. This new concept incorporates the role of mobilised shear strength developed within the soil body in resisting the compressive effect. Based on this new concept a comprehensive soil volume change framework has been developed known as Rotational Multiple Yield Surface Framework (RMYSF). This RMYSF is able to explain and quantify the puzzled and complex soil volume change behaviours. The main advantage of this RMYSF is that it is able to make a good prediction of soil and rock stress-strain responses at any effective stress. This will lead to accurate prediction of soil and rock settlements. Due to its simplicity and the comprehensive nature of this new fundamental concept in soil and rock mechanics it will eventually be included in soil and rock mechanics syllabus for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. This book would be very useful for geotechnical engineers dealing with soil settlement underground excavation computer modelling rock mechanics road engineering earth and rock dam engineering and tunnel engineering. | Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium

Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium

Restraint and intrinsic stresses in concrete at early ages are vitally important for concrete structures which must remain free of water-permeable cracks such as water-retaining structures tunnel linings locks and dams. The development of hydration heat stiffness and strength also the degree of restraint and especially for high-strength concrete non-thermal effects are decisive for sensitivity to cracking. Determining thses stresses in the laboratory and in construction components has led to a clearer understanding of how they develop and how to optimize mix design temperature and curing conditions. New testing equipment has enabled the effects of all the important parameters to be qualified and more reliable models for predictiong restraint stresses to be developed. Thermal Cracking in Conrete at Early Ages contains 56 contributions by leading international specialists presented at the RILEM Symposium held in October 1994 at the Technical University of Munich. It will be valuable for construction and site engineers concrete technologists and scientists. | Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium
