Widely used in the construction of bridges,
dams and pavements, concrete and masonry are two of the world’s most
utilized construction materials. However, many engineers lack a proper
understanding of the methods for predicting and mitigating their
movements within a structure. Concrete and Masonry Movements
provides practical methods for predicting and preventing movement in
concrete and masonry, saving time and money in retrofitting and repair
cost. With this book in hand, engineers will discover new prediction
models for masonry such as: irreversible moisture expansion of clay
bricks, elasticity, creep and shrinkage. In addition, the book provides
up-to-date information on the codes of practice.
