Construction and Load Testing of a Scale Model Concrete Shelf Pylon
|
Item Code: CD042
Date of Publication: 2002
Price: $5.00
|
This CD contains the final report of construction and load testing of a scale model concrete shelf pylon for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). The segmental post-tensioned shelf pylon section was developed for use in future transit projects for the Dulles Corridor and Beltway Expansion where limited right-of-way will necessitate the need for an aerial guideway structure which supports transit rail loads while requiring minimal space at grade level.

High-Strength Concrete
|
Item Code: EB114
Date of Publication: 1994
Price: $15.00
|
If you're designing a building or inspecting a high-strength concrete project, you need to know how the materials and methods differ from those for normal concrete. The high-strength ready mixed concrete process is explained, including: materials selection, mix design, concrete placement, and testing. Extensive information is presented on the engineering properties of high-strength concrete—strength, modulus of elasticity, drying shrinkage and creep, porosity, freeze-thaw durability, and corrosion resistance—based on the most recent laboratory data, research, and field observations. Over 30 tables, figures, and photos help describe the history, development, properties, and various projects that have used high-strength concrete.

Shades of Gray, Sands of Time: Images of Concrete Construction in Days Past
|
Item Code: CD061
Date of Publication: 2005
Price: $35.00
|
|
This collection of over 900 black and white photographs illustrates the building of our nation in the last century, the role of concrete in the process and provides glimpses of life in that era. These historical photographs illustrate concrete construction and equipment, including buildings and bridges, highways and streets, and other types of concrete structures under construction. Of special interest are several hundred images of machinery used in concrete construction: paving machines, earthmoving equipment, cranes, buckets, buggies and other "tools of the trade." Of these, there are 144 pictures showing vintage ready mix trucks, from the earliest models to those used in the fifties and sixties.
Industry professionals and observers, teachers and students, and people interested in historical Americana will find this a valuable resource in preparing papers, PowerPoint presentations, and simply for study.
All images are presented in high-resolution quality (1536 x 1045 pixels or higher).
Some of the searchable categories include: Airport construction; Building construction; Batch plants; Bridge construction; Buckets; Buggies; Mixers; Cranes; Dump trucks; Earthmoving machinery; Finishing; Floating; Forms; Vibrating; Pavement construction; Paving machines; Placing; Precasting plants; Ready mix trucks; Ready mixed concrete plants; Resurfacing.
