Book Self consolidating Concrete for Cast in place Bridge Components

Download or read book Self consolidating Concrete for Cast in place Bridge Components written by George Morcous and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 819: Self Consolidating Concrete for Cast in Place Bridge Components presents recommended guidelines for the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in cast in place highway bridge components. These guidelines address the selection of constituent materials, proportioning of concrete mixtures, testing methods, fresh and hardened concrete properties, production and quality control issues, and other aspects of SCC. The report also presents proposed changes to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design and Construction Specifications to address use of SCC for cast in place highway bridge components. The information contained in the report will guide materials and bridge engineers in evaluating, selecting, and specifying SCC mixtures for use in cast in place concrete bridge components, thereby facilitating construction, improving the working environment and safety, and reducing cost."--Publisher's description

Book Inspection Manual for Self consolidating Concrete in Precast Members

Download or read book Inspection Manual for Self consolidating Concrete in Precast Members written by Eric Patrick Koehler and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual discusses quality control and testing procedures for SCC used in precast elements. It is intended for use by field inspectors responsible for pre-qualifying mixtures and assuring concrete quality. The information presented is of a general nature and may not be appropriate for all projects. The manual is written on the assumption that the reader already has basic background knowledge of general concrete material properties and construction practices. Chapter 2 provides basic background information on SCC. Guidelines for SCC quality control and quality assurance are presented in Chapter 3. SCC is a specialized material and requires specialized knowledge to evaluate it.

Book ACI Manual of Concrete Inspection

Download or read book ACI Manual of Concrete Inspection written by and published by American Concrete Institute. This book was released on 2008 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is intended to guide, assist, and instruct concrete inspectors and others engaged in concrete construction and testing, including field engineers, construction superintendents, supervisors, laboratory and field technicians, and workers. Designers may also find the manual to be a valuable reference by using the information to better adapt their designs to the realities of field construction. Because of the diverse possible uses of the manual and the varied backgrounds of the readers, it includes the reasoning behind the technical instructions. The field of concrete construction has expanded dramatically over the years to reflect the many advances that have taken place in the concrete industry. Although many of the fundamentals presented in previous editions of this manual remain relevant and technically correct, this eleventh edition incorporates new material to address these advances in technology

Book Understanding the Rheology of Concrete

Download or read book Understanding the Rheology of Concrete written by N Roussel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimating, modelling, controlling and monitoring the flow of concrete is a vital part of the construction process, as the properties of concrete before it has set can have a significant impact on performance. This book provides a detailed overview of the rheological behaviour of concrete, including measurement techniques, the impact of mix design, and casting. Part one begins with two introductory chapters dealing with the rheology and rheometry of complex fluids, followed by chapters that examine specific measurement and testing techniques for concrete. The focus of part two is the impact of mix design on the rheological behaviour of concrete, looking at additives including superplasticizers and viscosity agents. Finally, chapters in part three cover topics related to casting, such as thixotropy and formwork pressure. With its distinguished editor and expert team of contributors, Understanding the rheology of concrete is an essential reference for researchers, materials specifiers, architects and designers in any section of the construction industry that makes use of concrete, and will also benefit graduate and undergraduate students of civil engineering, materials and construction. Provides a detailed overview of the rheological behaviour of concrete, including measurement techniques, casting and the impact of mix design The estimating, modelling, controlling and monitoring of concrete flow is comprehensively discussed Chapters examine specific measurement and testing techniques for concrete, the impact of mix design on the rheological behaviour of concrete, particle packaging and viscosity-enhancing admixtures

Book Production Methods and Workability of Concrete

Download or read book Production Methods and Workability of Concrete written by P. J. M. Bartos and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical production of ordinary and special, high performance concretes and their behaviour and properties when fresh are the main themes of this book. It derives from the International RILEM Conference held in Paisley, Scotland in June 1996, and represents the culmination of the work of two RILEM Technical Committees (145 WSM Workability of Special Mixes, and 150 ECM Efficiency of Concrete Mixers). Very significant advances have been made recently in the development of concrete with outstanding properties. Such advances in research must be matched by progress in the technology of concrete production. This book focuses on production methods and on workability and handling, two fundamental and closely linked stages of the concrete construction process. It has a strongly practical emphasis, with many contributions showing how to build effectively using the many high performance concretes which have progressed from research into construction in recent years. The main themes covered are: production mixers and mixing processes; production methods; sprayed and very dry precasting mixes; fibre reinforced concrete; flowing and superfluid mixes; rheology; test methods; mix design and models; special cements and concretes.

This book was released on 2010-08-12 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to organize the Sixth International RILEM Symposium on SCC and the Fourth North-American Conference on the Design and Use of SCC, held on Sept 26-29, 2010 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The RILEM series of symposia started in 1999 in Stockholm, followed by Tokyo in 2001, Reykjavik in 2003, Chicago in 2005, and Ghent in 2007 with a steadily increasing number of papers, participants, and interest from across the globe. Due to the growing success of SCC, regional conferences have been organized, such as the North-American Conference on the Design and Use of SCC held in Chicago in 2002, 2005, and 2008; the International Symposium on Design, Performance and Use of SCC held nd in Changsa, China in 2005 and in Beijing, China in 2009; as well as the 2 International Conference on Advances in Concrete Technology in the Middle East: SCC held in Abu Dhabi in 2009. It can be concluded that these regional Conferences and Symposia were highly successful and reached a far more international audience than anticipated. Nearly 100 papers were submitted for these proceedings from which the International Scientific Committee selected 37 contributions covering a wide range of timely and original subjects from around the world. We would like to acknowledge the input of the International Scientific Committee for providing critical input to guarantee high quality of these peer-reviewed proceedings. We invite you to explore a wealth of information in the electronic proceedings.
