Book Synopsis Modern Concrete Construction Manual by : Martin Peck
Download or read book Modern Concrete Construction Manual written by Martin Peck and published by . This book was released on 2014-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A construction material that once was innovative and modern and then fell somewhat into disrepute through some of the quite radical post-war architecture, concrete is today very popular with planners and builders due to its multifaceted nature. The material offers enormous potential through its extensive load-bearing capacities but also due to the diversity of its properties and surface characteristics. In addition to the technical possibilities customarily attributed to concrete construction, the construction material is on the ascendant not least due to the current debate regarding energy efficiency and sustainability, since it seems tailor-made for the realization of the relevant requirements. It is not just the design and construction of concrete load-bearing structures that are the focus of this publication, but also the materiality and thus the haptic and sensuous side of the material in particular. That's because visible concrete in "smooth gray flawless" quality is not everything that concrete has to offer. Even designers and interior decorators develop furniture and space innovations of unimagined sensuality. The Modern Concrete Construction Manual provides the planner with well-founded expert information regarding the construction material of concrete, ranging from manufacturing to materiality to the design of concrete load-bearing structures, including current options for digital design and production processes. As a standard reference volume, the publication offers comprehensive and detailed insights regarding topics including cost-effectiveness, energy and sustainability, renovation, design and interior decoration. An extensive index of works with successful real-life examples provides inspiration and invites the reader to make modern use of a classical construction material.
Book Synopsis Use of Fly Ash, Slag, Or Silica Fume to Inhibit Alkali-silica Reactivity by : Daniel Stephen Lane
Download or read book Use of Fly Ash, Slag, Or Silica Fume to Inhibit Alkali-silica Reactivity written by Daniel Stephen Lane and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study had two objectives: (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of particular mineral admixtures when combined with portland cements of varying alkali content in preventing expansion due to alkali-silica reactivity (ASR), and (2) to determine if set minimum amounts of various types of mineral admixtures could be established for use with cements of varying alkali content to provide protection from ASR. Mortar bars made with Pyrex glass aggregate were stored moist at 38 ° C for 366 days and measured periodically for length change. Control mortars were mixed with portland cements having an alkali content ranging from 0.18% to 0.92% Na20 equivalent. Test mortars were mixed replacing various percentages of portland cement with Class F fly ash (15%, 25%, and 35%), slag (20%, 35%, and 50%), or silica fume (3% and 7%). Test mortars were also mixed using IP cement produced using Class F fly ash (18%, 20%, and 22%). Expansions of control mortars with alkali contents of 0.4% or less were negligible through the 336-day test period. With cements having an alkali content above 0.4%, equilibrium between cement alkali content and mortar bar expansion was reached at 56 days, when a strong linear relationship between increasing expansion and increasing alkali content developed. A regression analysis was performed on data from the control batches, and the resulting equation was used to normalize data from the test batches. The expansion of mortars containing fly ash, slag, and silica fume was lower than the expansion of the control batches for portland cement having an alkali content of 0.6% and above for all replacement levels of the tested materials. The amount of expansion varied with the type of material, percentage replacement, and cement alkali content. Using an expansion of 0.10% as the maximum indicative of acceptable performance in inhibiting ASR, minimum amounts of Class F fly ash, slag, and silica fume were established for use with portland cement depending on the alkali content of the cement.

Book Synopsis Optimum Mixture Proportions for Concretes Containing Fly Ash and Silica Fume by : Hamdi Celik Ozyildirim
Download or read book Optimum Mixture Proportions for Concretes Containing Fly Ash and Silica Fume written by Hamdi Celik Ozyildirim and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concretes with equal water/cement ratios and equal paste volumes of various combinations of cement, fly ash, and silica fume were tested to establish parameters for strength and chloride permeability. Comparative specimens with Type II and Type III cement were tested. The effects of temperature and moisture availability during curing were also evaluated. In general, the laboratory tests showed that, when adequate curing in the 73°F to 100 °F temperature range is provided, concretes with satisfactory early and 28-day strengths and good resistance to chloride ion penetration can be obtained with either type of cement and various combinations of fly ash and silica fume. The cementitious material can be in the range of 30 to 35 percent fly ash and 5 percent silica fume, based on the weight of the cementitious material. Similar specimens cured at 43°F generally did not develop an adequate early strength, and the chloride permeability was high. Combinations of the pozzolans with Type III cement yielded higher strengths and a lower chloride permeability than did similar combinations with Type II cement.
Book Synopsis Ultra-High Performance Concrete UHPC by : Ekkehard Fehling
Download or read book Ultra-High Performance Concrete UHPC written by Ekkehard Fehling and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected chapters from the German concrete yearbook are now being published in the new English "Beton-Kalender Series" for the benefit of an international audience. Since it was founded in 1906, the Ernst & Sohn "Beton-Kalender" has been supporting developments in reinforced and prestressed concrete. The aim was to publish a yearbook to reflect progress in "ferro-concrete" structures until - as the book's first editor, Fritz von Emperger (1862-1942), expressed it - the "tempestuous development" in this form of construction came to an end. However, the "Beton-Kalender" quickly became the chosen work of reference for civil and structural engineers, and apart from the years 1945-1950 has been published annually ever since. Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) is a milestone in concrete technology and application. It permits the construction of both more slender and more durable concrete structures with a prolonged service life and thus improved sustainability. This book is a comprehensive overview of UHPC - from the principles behind its production and its mechanical properties to design and detailing aspects. The focus is on the material behaviour of steel fibre-reinforced UHPC. Numerical modelling and detailing of the connections with reinforced concrete elements are featured as well. Numerous examples worldwide - bridges, columns, facades and roofs - are the basis for additional explanations about the benefits of UHPC and how it helps to realise several architectural requirements. The authors are extensively involved in the testing, design, construction and monitoring of UHPC structures. What they provide here is therefore a unique synopsis of the state of the art with a view to practical applications.
