Download Advanced Materials and Techniques for Reinforced Concrete Structures, 2nd Edition Easily In PDF Format For Free.
PREFACE:
There is a race among investors in the construction of high-rise buildings due to its potential for high profits in the global real estate industry.
Therefore, the major challenge for structural engineers is how to achieve the goals of investors and architects.
The aim of this new edition is to present the most up-to-date advanced materials and construction techniques used in the reinforced concrete structure industry.
Because advanced materials are growing parallel to the development of new structural systems, the advantages and disadvantages of the different structure systems are very important from the durability, reliability, and construction points of view.
This edition also includes topics regarding Eurocodes in the concrete industry. This book is intended to serve as a guide to junior and senior engineers who work in design, construction, and maintenance of reinforced concrete structures to assist them in choosing the most reasonable structural system, materials, method of construction, and maintenance plan. Construction quality control is the main factor that allows a firm to be competitive in the market, so this book is written in a way that helps structural engineers to easily understand the statistical parameters that govern quality control in concrete construction projects.
Its aim is to avoid complicated statistical terms and instead be more applicable by using strong theoretical background information to help analyze and meet concrete construction quality control criteria.
This book consists of three main approaches: the first approach presents ways to control a project to achieve the owner’s target and discusses different loads that affect the buildings from the point of view of the international codes.
In addition, the different structural systems that are used in traditional and high-rise buildings are presented with advantages and disadvantages to assist the designer in choosing the optimum system to meet stability, reliability, and architectural requirements.
The second main approach describes the traditional and most recent materials used in concrete technology, such as high-strength, high-performance, and selfcompacted concrete. Moreover, the book presents the modern techniques used in all construction stages in temperate and hot climate regions.
In the last chapter, new approaches to the integrity management system are presented by describing the advanced maintenance plan philosophy as risk-based for reinforced concrete structures.
This book will serve as a practical guide to advanced materials, design, and construction techniques in concrete structures for normal and high-rise buildings under different environmental conditions..
