Download or read book High performance Construction Materials Science And Applications written by Caijun Shi and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2008-06-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a number of high-performance construction materials, including concrete, steel, fiber-reinforced cement, fiber-reinforced plastics, polymeric materials, geosynthetics, masonry materials and coatings. It discusses the scientific bases for the manufacture and use of these high-performance materials. Testing and application examples are also included, in particular the application of relatively new high-performance construction materials to design practice.Most books dealing with construction materials typically address traditional materials only rather than high-performance materials and, as a consequence, do not satisfy the increasing demands of today's society. On the other hand, books dealing with materials science are not engineering-oriented, with limited coverage of the application to engineering practice. This book is thus unique in reflecting the great advances made on high-performance construction materials in recent years.This book is appropriate for use as a textbook for courses in engineering materials, structural materials and civil engineering materials at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels. It is also suitable for use by practice engineers, including construction, materials, mechanical and civil engineers.

Download or read book Elements of Highway Engineering written by Arthur Horace Blanchard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Highway Engineering This book has been written at the suggestion of several professors of civil engineering who desire to use a didactic text, covering the principles of highway engineering, of such length as to be suitable for one-semester courses included in civil engineering curricula. The text of this work is made up of original manuscript, and also of material from the " Text-book on Highway Engineering," by Blanchard and Drowne, which has been revised and remodelled to meet the requirements of a book suitable for use by engineering students who take courses in highway engineering aggregating from one to three hours a week for one-half of the collegiate year. It should be noted that the " Text-book on Highway Engineering" was designed to be a comprehensive text for highway engineering students and a reference book for engineers. Each chapter of the "Elements of Highway Engineering" has been written with a view to emphasizing the fundamental principles which have been evolved from past experience as well as from the modern practice of highway engineering which, as a science and an art, is rapidly developing in the fields of economics, administration, legislation, materials, and methods. Specifications, per se, examples of construction, and detailed cost data have been omitted, as such material is not considered essential to a broad general knowledge of the science of highway engineering. The text of the chapters, occupying 450 pages, has been profusely illustrated with 202 figures, equivalent in space to 85 pages. As the nomenclature of materials and methods of construction and maintenance may be confusing to the student, a glossary, constituting Appendix I, has been included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Text-Book on Highway Engineering The science and art of highway engineering have, during the past decade, rapidly developed along various lines. Within recent years our foremost national engineering societies have manifested marked interest in this branch of engineering, not only through the medium of the presentation of papers, but also by the appointment of Special Committees; for instance, in the American Society of Civil Engineers, there is found a Special Committee on the "Use of Bituminous Materials in Road Construction;" in the American Society for Testing Materials, Special Committees on "Bituminous Materials," "Nomenclature of Bituminous Materials," and "Non-Bituminous Road Materials;" while in the American Society for Municipal Improvements and the Association for the Standardizing of Paving Specifications there are Committees on each of the various types of roads and pavements used in current practice. In addition to the Association Internationale Permanente des Congres de la Route the following national associations have been founded during recent years to promote the development of highway engineering and the construction and maintenance of "Good Roads": The National Highways Association, the American Road Builders Association, and the American Highways Association. The arrangement of the subject-matter given in this book is based largely on lectures that have been prepared by the authors for their various classes, both undergraduate and graduate, and up on their practice as highway engineers in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing countries in the tropics have different natural conditions and different institutional and financial situations to industrialized countries. However, most textbooks on highway engineering are based on experience from industrialized countries with temperate climates, and deal only with specific problems. Road Engineering for Development (published as Highway and Traffic Engineering in Developing Countries in its first edition) provides a comprehensive description of the planning, design, construction and maintenance of roads in developing countries. It covers a wide range of technical and non-technical problems that may confront road engineers working in this area. The technical content of the book has been fully updated and current development issues are focused on. Designed as a fundamental text for civil engineering students this book also offers a broad, practical view of the subject for practising engineers. It has been written with the assistance of a number of world-renowned specialist professional engineers with many years experience in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Central America.
