High Performance Concrete
P. C. Aïtcin ... 624 pages - Publisher: CRC Press; (August, 1998) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0419192700 - ISBN-13: 978-0419192701 ...A complete review of the fast-developing topic of high performance concrete (HPC) by one of the leading researchers in the field. It covers all aspects of HPC from materials, properties and technology, to construction and testing. The book will be valuable for all concrete technologists and construction engineers wihing to take advantage of the remarkable properties of the material.
Slope Stability and Stabilization Methods 2nd Edition
Lee W. Abramson, Thomas S. Lee, Sunil Sharma, Glenn M. Boyce ... 736 pages - Publisher: Wiley; 2nd edition (November, 2001) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0471384933 - ISBN-13: 978-0471384939 ...This is a major revision of the comprehensive text/reference. Written by world-leading geotechnical engineers who share almost 100 years of combined experience, "Slope Stability and Stabilization, Second Edition" assembles the background information, theory, analytical methods, design and construction approaches, and practical examples necessary to carry out a complete slope stability project. Retaining the best features of the previous edition, this new book has been completely updated to address the latest trends and methodology in the field. Its features include: all-new chapters on shallow failures and stability of landfill slopes; new material on probabilistic stability analysis, cost analysis of stabilization alternatives, and state-of-the-art techniques in time-domain reflectometry to help engineers plan and model new designs; tested and FHA-approved procedures for the geotechnical stage of highway, tunnel, and bridge projects; and, sound guidance for geotechnical stage design and planning for virtually all types of construction projects. "Slope Stability and Stabilization, Second Edition" is filled with current and comprehensive information, making it one of the best resources available on the subject-and an essential reference for today's and tomorrow's professionals in geology, geotechnical engineering, soil science, and landscape architecture.
Concrete Pavement Design: Construction and Performance
Norbert Delatte ... 392 pages- Publisher: CRC Press; (October, 2007) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0415409705 - ISBN-13: 978-0415409704 ...Addressing the interactions between the different design and construction variables and techniques this book illustrates best practices for constructing economical, long life concrete pavements. The book proceeds in much the same way as a pavement construction project. First, different alternatives for concrete pavement solutions are outlined. The desired performance and behaviour parameters are identified. Next, appropriate materials are outlined and the most suitable concrete proportions determined. The design can be completed, and then the necessary construction steps for translating the design into a durable facility are carried out. Although the focus reflects highways as the most common application, special features of airport, industrial, and light duty pavements are also addressed. Use is made of modeling and performance tools such as HIPERPAV and LTPP to illustrate behavior and performance, along with some case studies. As concrete pavements are more complex than they seem, and the costs of mistakes or of over-design can be high, this is a valuable book for engineers in both the public and private sectors.
Mechanical Vibrations: Theo. and Appl. to Structural Dyn.
Mechanical Vibrations: Theory and Application to Structural Dynamics, Third Edition is a comprehensively updated new edition of the popular textbook. It presents the theory of vibrations in the context of structural analysis and covers applications in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Key features include: A systematic approach to dynamic reduction and substructuring, based on duality between mechanical and admittance concepts + An introduction to experimental modal analysis and identification methods + An improved, more physical presentation of wave propagation phenomena + A comprehensive presentation of current practice for solving large eigenproblems, focusing on the efficient linear solution of large, sparse and possibly singular systems + A deeply revised description of time integration schemes, providing framework for the rigorous accuracy/stability analysis of now widely used algorithms such as HHT and Generalized-α + Solved exercises and end of chapter homework problems + A companion website hosting supplementary material.
Excel for Scientists and Engineers Numerical Methods
E. Joseph Billo ... 480 pages - Publisher: Wiley-Interscience; 1st edition (April, 2007) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0471387347 - ISBN-13: 978-0471387343 ... Learn to fully harness the power of Microsoft Excel(r) to perform scientific and engineering calculations With this text as your guide, you can significantly enhance Microsoft Excel's(r) capabilities to execute the calculations needed to solve a variety of chemical, biochemical, physical, engineering, biological, and medicinal problems. The text begins with two chapters that introduce you to Excel's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language, which allows you to expand Excel's(r) capabilities, although you can still use the text without learning VBA. Following the author's step-by-step instructions, here are just a few of the calculations you learn to perform: Use worksheet functions to work with matrices * Find roots of equations and solve systems of simultaneous equations * Solve ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations * Perform linear and non-linear regression * Use random numbers and the Monte Carlo method This text is loaded with examples ranging from very basic to highly sophisticated solutions. More than 100 end-of-chapter problems help you test and put your knowledge to practice solving real-world problems. Answers and explanatory notes for most of the problems are provided in an appendix.
