High-Strength Concrete: A Practical Guide
|
Item Code: LT317
Date of Publication: 2009
Price: $140.00
|
|
Michael Caldarone, noted authority on the subject of high-strength concrete, delivers a practical approach to designing, producing and using this powerful material. Its many benefits include high compressive strengths, which allow a reduction in the cross-sectional dimensions of columns and walls in buildings. Its greater stiffness allows for increasing building heights while controlling sway and occupant comfort. Civil structures such as bridges have benefited from greater span lengths, shallower beam sections, wider girder spacing, and extended service life. Illustrated with real-life examples, through documented case histories, High-Strength Concrete will be a valuable resource for contractors, producers, inspection agencies, as well as engineers and researchers.

Mass Concrete for Buildings and Bridges
|
Item Code: EB547
Date of Publication: 2007
Price: $30.00
|
|
Mass concrete has been historically associated with large structures such as dams and other large volume placements. However, due to the increasingly common use of fast-track construction practices and high-performance concretes with high cementitious material contents, mass concrete issues are being encountered in typical bridge and building placements.
This document provides practical guidance on understanding mass concrete, how to manage concrete temperatures, and prevent or minimize temperature-related cracking. Understanding the implications of using mass concrete (high internal temperatures and temperature-related cracking) is the key to producing a structure that provides many years of service.

Material Usage and Condition of Existing Bridges in the U.S.
|
Item Code: SR342
Date of Publication: 2008
Price: $0.00
|
Data on the market share of the four major bridge construction materials used in the U.S. (reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, structural steel, and timber) are summarized in this report. Data are extracted from the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) as of December 2006. Tables and figures present information on both the number and deck area of existing bridges. To focus on current trends, data are also presented for bridges built during 1990-2006. The market share and performance (structural deficiency) of bridge materials are given by year of construction. This report updates data published in a similar document in December 2004.
