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.

Prevention of Progressive Collapse in Multistory Concrete Buildings
|
Item Code: LT196
Date of Publication: 2006
Price: $65.00
|
|
Recent world events have heightened public awareness of building safety and security issues. Engineers are now faced with considering the prevention of progressive collapse in multistory building design. The most prevalent design guidance currently available on this topic is provided by two federal agencies - the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Department of Defense (DoD). Not all engineers are familiar with the GSA and the DoD design approaches for the mitigation of progressive collapse.
This publication provides a comprehensive discussion of the GSA and DoD requirements along with several complete illustrative examples. A variety of reinforced concrete multistory structural systems are evaluated for resistance to progressive collapse, including moment frames, flat-plate construction, and bearing wall systems. While this manual is intended primarily for practicing engineers, it will also be a valuable aid to students, educators, regulators, and those involved in the design, construction, and approval of buildings.
