Download or read book Design with Residual Materials written by Gordon Matheson and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since residual materials are derived from the chemical weathering of rock, the nature of the material is directly related to the type of parent material and the extent to which the weathering process has disintegrated the parent rock. This concise collection of peer-reviewed papers discusses the origin of residual materials and their engineering and design challenges. Topics include relations of saprolite and residual soils to rock-type on the Appalachian Piedmont (from New Jersey to Alabama); predicting the mode, susceptibility, and rate of weathering of shales; embankment dams in the Piedmont/Blue Ridge province; in situ measurement of rockfill properties; foundation design in Karst residuum; applications of soil nailing in residual soils; and estimation of in situ hydraulic properties of saprolite.
Download or read book Plastics Design Handbook written by Marlene G. Rosato and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a simplified and practical approach to designing with plastics that funda mentally relates to the load, temperature, time, and environment subjected to a product. It will provide the basic behaviors in what to consider when designing plastic products to meet performance and cost requirements. Important aspects are presented such as understanding the advantages of different shapes and how they influence designs. Information is concise, comprehensive, and practical. Review includes designing with plastics based on material and process behaviors. As de signing with any materials (plastic, steel, aluminum, wood, etc.) it is important to know their behaviors in order to maximize product performance-to-cost efficiency. Examples of many different designed products are reviewed. They range from toys to medical devices to cars to boats to underwater devices to containers to springs to pipes to buildings to aircraft to space craft. The reader's product to be designed can directly or indirectly be related to product design reviews in the book. Important are behaviors associated and interrelated with plastic materials (thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, reinforced plastics, etc.) and fabricating processes (extrusion, injec tion molding, blow molding, forming, foaming, rotational molding, etc.). They are presented so that the technical or non-technical reader can readily understand the interrelationships.

This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the latest advances, innovations and applications in the field of waste management and environmental geomechanics as presented by leading researchers, engineers and practitioners at the International Conference on Sustainable Waste Management through Design (IC_SWMD), held in Ludhiana (Punjab), India on November 2-3, 2018. Providing a unique overview of new directions, and opportunities for sustainable and resilient design approaches to protect infrastructure and the environment, it discusses diverse topics related to civil engineering and construction aspects of the resource management cycle, from the minimization of waste, through the eco-friendly re-use and processing of waste materials, the management and disposal of residual wastes, to water treatments and technologies. It also encompasses strategies for reducing construction waste through better design, improved recovery, re-use, more efficient resource management and the performance of materials recovered from wastes. The contributions were selected by means of a rigorous peer-review process and highlight many exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different waste management specialists.
