Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the use of a field adapted ASTM E 514 water permeability test which is currently used by masonry consultants to document moisture penetration problems in brick masonry. There is a growing debate of whether this adapted test method can appropriately be used to decide if a masonry wall is considered a failure regarding moisture penetration.

Download or read book Adaptations and Additions to ASTM Test Method E 514 Water Permeance of Masonry for Field Conditions written by CB. Monk and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main proposed adaptation of ASTM Test for Water Permeance of Masonry (E 514) concerns the exploration of field conditions. Emphasis is placed primarily on the measurement of water passing into the exterior face of a masonry wall, rather than measurement of conditions from water passing through to the inside face. A tentative rating criterion for water penetrating the exterior face is suggested. This measurement is useful to evaluate the effectiveness of water-repellent treatments on the surface and to assess the water that stays in the wall, possibly never penetrating to the interior face.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integral water repellent admixtures have played an important role in improving performance of architectural concrete block by minimizing penetration of water into the concrete block wall. The ASTM E 514-90 Test Method for Water Penetration and Leakage through Masonry is commonly used to measure the performance of unit masonry subjected to a 4 hour simulated wind-driven rain. A laboratory test program was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the ASTM E 514-90 test method in determining performance of walls constructed with materials which contain integral water repellent admixtures, to determine the effect of extending the test period from 4 hours up to 72 hours and to compare the performance of four different integral water repellent admixtures.

Book excerpt: The Deep Mixing Method (DMM), a deep in-situ soil stabilization technique using cement and/or lime as a stabilizing agent, was developed in Japan and in the Nordic countries independently in the 1970s. Numerous research efforts have been made in these areas investigating properties of treated soil, behavior of DMM improved ground under static and d

Download or read book Handbook of Geotechnical Investigation and Design Tables written by Burt G. Look and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2007-04-26 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical handbook of properties for soils and rock contains, in a concise tabular format, the key issues relevant to geotechnical investigations, assessments and designs in common practice. In addition, there are brief notes on the application of the tables. These data tables are compiled for experienced geotechnical professionals who require a reference document to access key information. There is an extensive database of correlations for different applications. The book should provide a useful bridge between soil and rock mechanics theory and its application to practical engineering solutions. The initial chapters deal with the planning of the geotechnical investigation, the classification of the soil and rock properties and some of the more used testing is then covered. Later chapters show the reliability and correlations that are used to convert that data in the interpretative and assessment phase of the project. The final chapters apply some of these concepts to geotechnical design. This book is intended primarily for practicing geotechnical engineers working in investigation, assessment and design, but should provide a useful supplement for postgraduate courses.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care provide health-care workers (HCWs), hospital administrators and health authorities with a thorough review of evidence on hand hygiene in health care and specific recommendations to improve practices and reduce transmission of pathogenic microorganisms to patients and HCWs. The present Guidelines are intended to be implemented in any situation in which health care is delivered either to a patient or to a specific group in a population. Therefore, this concept applies to all settings where health care is permanently or occasionally performed, such as home care by birth attendants. Definitions of health-care settings are proposed in Appendix 1. These Guidelines and the associated WHO Multimodal Hand Hygiene Improvement Strategy and an Implementation Toolkit (http://www.who.int/gpsc/en/) are designed to offer health-care facilities in Member States a conceptual framework and practical tools for the application of recommendations in practice at the bedside. While ensuring consistency with the Guidelines recommendations, individual adaptation according to local regulations, settings, needs, and resources is desirable. This extensive review includes in one document sufficient technical information to support training materials and help plan implementation strategies. The document comprises six parts.
