Download or read book Non Conventional Materials and Technologies written by Khosrow Ghavami and published by Materials Research Forum LLC. This book was released on 2018-11-25 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents new research in the area of biobased “green composites”. Biobased materials involve renewable agricultural and forestry feedstocks, including wood, agricultural waste, grasses and natural plant fibers. These lignocellulosic materials are composed mainly of carbohydrates such as sugar and lignin, cellulose, vegetable oils and proteins. Much research is concerned with renewable materials such as bamboo, vegetable fibers, soil composites and recycled materials such as rice husk ash and sugar cane ash. The general aim here is to use renewable and non-polluting materials in ways that offer a high degree of sustainability and preserve the remaining natural resources for future generations.

Download or read book Probabilistic service life model of RC structures subjected to the combined effect of chloride induced corrosion and cyclic loading written by Emilio Bastidas Arteaga and published by Universidad de los Andes. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the advantages of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is its durability. However, when they are exposed to aggressive environments (e.g., chloride penetration) and cyclic loading, its performance can be significantly affected. Modeling deterioration produced by chloride penetration is useful to ensure optimal levels of serviceability and safety. The main purpose of this book is to propose a new model for lifetime assessment of RC structures subjected to deterioration produced by the combined action of corrosion and fatigue. The formulation of the model is based on a state of the art review on modeling of this kind of deterioration. Furthermore, taking into account the importance of the uncertainty related to the whole deterioration process, this book also presents a stochastic framework for this problem. Finally, several practical examples illustrate the effects of the corrosion-fatigue process in the reduction of life-cycle of RC structures.

This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have become an integral part of the construction industry because of their versatility, enhanced durability and resistance to fatigue and corrosion, high strength-to-weight ratio, accelerated construction, and lower maintenance and life-cycle costs. Advanced FRP composite materials are also emerging for a wide range of civil infrastructure applications. These include everything from bridge decks, bridge strengthening and repairs, and seismic retrofit to marine waterfront structures and sustainable, energy-efficient housing. The International Handbook of FRP Composites in Civil Engineering brings together a wealth of information on advances in materials, techniques, practices, nondestructive testing, and structural health monitoring of FRP composites, specifically for civil infrastructure. With a focus on professional applications, the handbook supplies design guidelines and standards of practice from around the world. It also includes helpful design formulas, tables, and charts to provide immediate answers to common questions. Organized into seven parts, the handbook covers: FRP fundamentals, including history, codes and standards, manufacturing, materials, mechanics, and life-cycle costs Bridge deck applications and the critical topic of connection design for FRP structural members External reinforcement for rehabilitation, including the strengthening of reinforced concrete, masonry, wood, and metallic structures FRP composites for the reinforcement of concrete structures, including material characteristics, design procedures, and quality assurance–quality control (QA/QC) issues Hybrid FRP composite systems, with an emphasis on design, construction, QA/QC, and repair Quality control, quality assurance, and evaluation using nondestructive testing, and in-service monitoring using structural health monitoring of FRP composites, including smart composites that can actively sense and respond to the environment and internal states FRP-related books, journals, conference proceedings, organizations, and research sources Comprehensive yet concise, this is an invaluable reference for practicing engineers and construction professionals, as well as researchers and students. It offers ready-to-use information on how FRP composites can be more effectively utilized in new construction, repair and reconstruction, and architectural engineering.

Download or read book Durabilidad del concreto reforzado written by José Gabriel Goméz Cortés and published by Universidad Nacional de Colombia. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durabilidad del concreto reforzado es un libro de divulgación académica que presenta los temas esenciales sobre el comportamiento del concreto simple y reforzado ante la acción física y química de diferentes agentes externos. Adicionalmente, este libro recoge los resultados de investigaciones realizadas por el autor y sus experiencias en el área de la patología de estructuras en dicho material. En la actualidad, la permanencia de las construcciones es un aspecto determinante de la seguridad estructural, por esta razón se invita a considerar la durabilidad "por convicción mas que por coacción" en el diseño de las estructuras de concreto reforzado. La obra describe las propiedades físicas y químicas del concreto, haciendo énfasis en su permeabilidad. También presenta los diferentes agentes químicos que pueden atacarlo, como los sulfatos y los ácidos. Una parte importante del libro está dedicada a la reactividad del álcali en las partículas de agregado y a los procesos de carbonatación en el concreto. De igual manera, en su contenido se aborda el comportamiento de la piel del concreto normal y las particularidades en la durabilidad de los concretos de alto desempeño. Se cierra esta obra con la descripción del fenómeno de corrosión de las barras de acero de refuerzo.
