This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable development of smart cities infrastructures is of paramount importance and need to be planned, designed, constructed, operated and de-commissioned in a manner that ensures economic, social, environmental and institutional sustainability over the entire infrastructure life cycle. Smart cities infrastructure however be cost effective, disaster resilient, environmentally friendly, conserving natural resources, and sustainable ensuring faster delivery of quality and durable structures which include roads, building, bridges, energy and water infrastructures.

Download or read book Accelerated Aging of Concrete written by Roberto Caldas Pinto and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a review of the literature on accelerated aging of concrete. It was undertaken as part of a research project on predicting the long-term environmental performance of portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements containing coal fly ash. An accelerated aging regime involving temperature, cyclic loading, and freeze-thaw cycles was employed in this project to simulate natural long-term aging processes. This literature review describes the general concept of aging of materials and defines accelerated aging. It describes accelerated aging procedures and applications of accelerated aging, and discusses thermal aging, the most common accelerated aging technique. Accelerated aging techniques and applications for several types of materials (i.e., metals, polymers, asphalts, wood, and masonry) are described, followed by a review of accelerated aging procedures and applications for PCC.

Book excerpt: This report documents enhancements incorporated in the (HIgh PERformance PAVing) HIPERPAV II software. Enhancements made within this project include the addition of two major modules: a module to predict the performance of jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) as affected by earlyage factors, and a module to predict the early-age behavior (first 72 hours) and early life (up to 1 year) of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). Two additional Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) studies were also incorporated: one that predicts dowel bearing stresses as a function of environmental loading during the early age, and a module for optimization of concrete paving mixes as a function of 3-day strength, 28-day strength, and cost. Additional functionality to the software was also incorporated by reviewing and prioritizing the feedback provided by users of the first generation of the software, HIPERPAV I.
