Pages : 268
Book Description
Fresh concrete must be produced with the properties required for its intended applications, for example, it must be workable enough to flow into formwork, and to be compacted. This book deals with the measurement of the flow properties of fresh concrete and the factors which affect its workability. Aspects of concrete mixes and control of manufacture to produce optimum properties which relate to workability are covered.

Book Description
This book is the result of a Special Issue published in Applied Sciences, entitled “New Trends in Recycled Aggregate Concrete". It identifies emerging research areas within the field of recycled aggregate concrete and contributes to the increased use of this eco-efficient material. Its contents are organised in the following sections: Upscaling the use of recycled aggregate concrete in structural design; Large scale applications of recycled aggregate concrete; Long-term behaviour of recycled aggregate concrete; Performance of recycled aggregate concrete in very aggressive environments; Reliability of recycled aggregate concrete structures; Life cycle assessment of recycled aggregate concrete; New applications of recycled aggregate concrete.
Sustainable Construction
Author: Ankur C. BhogayataPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1003809081
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
This book focuses on the utilization of wastes produced from plastic usage by industry and consumers, along with the partial to full replacement of conventional cement as a primary binder material in concrete. This book demonstrates how to use post-consumer waste plastics and industry wastes from thermal power stations, agro-industries, and metal industries with a scientific approach to conventional concrete. The primary aim is to demonstrate the methods to prepare a sustainable alternative construction material of concrete using waste materials. Features: Illustrates making eco-friendly procedures of concrete construction popular by way of utilization of plastics and industrial wastes Covers all major aspects of plastic waste-based concrete from conception to execution Promotes alternative materials for sustainable construction Describes economic aspects of using eco-efficient concrete on a mass scale Includes experimental results with graphs This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in civil engineering, construction materials, and concrete.

River Sedimentation
Author: Silke WieprechtPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1317225317
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Sediment dynamics in fluvial systems is of great ecological, economic and human-health-related significance worldwide. Appropriate management strategies are therefore needed to limit maintenance costs as well as minimize potential hazards to the aquatic and adjacent environments. Human intervention, ranging from nutrient/pollutant release to physical modifications, has a large impact on sediment quantity and quality and thus on river morphology as well as on ecological functioning. Truly understanding sediment dynamics requires as a consequence a multidisciplinary approach.River Sedimentation contains the peer-reviewed scientific contributions presented at the 13th International Symposium on River Sedimentation (ISRS 2016, Stuttgart, Germany, 19-22 September 2016), and includes recent accomplishments in theoretical developments, numerical modelling, experimental laboratory work, field investigations and monitoring as well as management methodologies.
