Book Description
Concrete is a global material that underwrites commercial wellbeing and social development. There is no substitute that can be used on the same engineering scale and its sustainability, expolitation and further development are imperatives to creating and maintaing a healthy economy and environment worldwide. The pressure for change and improvement of performance is relentless and necessary. Concrete must keep evolving to satisfy the increasing demands of all its users.

Book Description
Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the chemical action of electricity and the production of electricity by chemical reactions. In a world short of energy sources yet long on energy use, electrochemistry is a critical component of the mix necessary to keep the world economies growing. Electrochemistry is involved with such important applications as batteries, fuel cells, corrosion studies, hydrogen energy conversion, bioelectricity. Research on electrolytes, cells, and electrodes is within the scope of this old but extremely dynamic field. This volume deals with prevention of metal corrosion.

Book Description
"El presente libro es un modesto aporte en la comprensión de los fenómenos patológicos que agreden al hormigón armado y a las estructuras que con este material se construyen. Los primeros capítulos permiten introducir al lector en los conceptos generales del hormigón armado como material y sus características. En los siguientes capítulos se efectúa un análisis de los procesos físicos, mecánicos, químicos y biológicos que afectan la durabilidad del hormigón armado. La profundidad del desarrollo de los procesos procura ahondar en aquellos que no siempre son tratados con detalle y no en los que se poseen amplio desarrollo en la bibliografía disponible. Existe un apartado especial para las estructuras con requerimientos de estanqueidad, en el que se detallan algunas medidas para incrementar el control de la fisuración y su durabilidad. Al respecto, la fisuración, el control de las deformaciones y la acción del fuego tienen un tratamiento particular en los Capítulos 8, 9, 10 y 11. En el Capítulo 12 se mencionan algunos de los principales procesos patológicos ocurridos en las fundaciones. En el Capítulo 15, se hace hincapié en las medidas de protección, refuerzo y reparación, al desarrollar conceptos como el recrecido de vigas y columnas, refuerzos con perfiles de acero o materiales como el CFRP. En el Capítulo 16 se incluye un apartado referido al uso de micropilotes inyectados para el recalce de fundaciones. Finalmente, en el Anexo I se desarrollan conceptos básicos sobre la elaboración y uso de hormigón autocompactante que tiene un ámbito de aplicación importante, entre otros, en el recrecido y refuerzo de las estructuras de hormigón armado. Se ha procurado amenizar la lectura del texto y plasmar los conceptos con soluciones numéricas, superando las 350 figuras y los 36 ejemplos de aplicación. No obstante, y a pesar de hacer mención a procesos patológicos, el texto procura ser precautorio, es decir, desarrolla contenidos para prevenir la ocurrencia de fallas y mecanismos que puedan agredir al hormigón."

Book Description
Actualmente la fabricación de estructuras de hormigón supera a la del resto de materiales de construcción considerados conjuntamente. Este hecho unido a la importancia técnica, económica y social del sector de la construcción explica que el deterioro de las estructuras de hormigón armado se haya constituido en el reto principal de la ingeniería civil en el mundo desarrollado. Los autores de este libro, basándose en su experiencia de más de tres decenios, pretenden despertar en los estudiantes, técnicos e investigadores la inquietud por el análisis de las causas que provocan la corrosión y la descripción de los métodos de prevención, protección, rehabilitación y reparación más eficaces.

Book Description
This book presents corrosion research studies from around the world. Most structural alloys corrode merely from exposure to moisture in the air, but the process can be strongly affected by exposure to certain substances. Corrosion can be concentrated locally to form a pit or crack, or it can extend across a wide area to produce general deterioration. While some efforts to reduce corrosion merely redirect the damage into less visible, less predictable forms, controlled corrosion treatments such as passivation and chromate-conversion will increase a material's corrosion resistance.

Book Description
This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations and applications presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the International Conference on Sustainable Production and Use of Cement and Concrete (ICSPCC 2019), held in Villa Clara, Cuba on June 23-30, 2019. It covers highly diverse topics, including sustainable production of low-carbon cements, novelties in the development of supplementary cementitious materials, new techniques for the microstructural characterization of construction materials, Portland-based and alkaline-activated cementitious systems, development of additives and additions in the sustainable production of concrete, sustainable production of high-performance concrete, durable concrete produced with recycled aggregates, development of mortars for historical patrimony restoration, environmental and economic assessment of the production and use of cement. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous, international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will inspire novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration between different specialists.

Book Description
Quality control is a standard which certainly has become a style of living. With the improvement of technology every day, we meet new and complicated devices and methods in different fields. Quality control explains the directed use of testing to measure the achievement of a specific standard. It is the process, procedures and authority used to accept or reject all components, drug product containers, closures, in-process materials, packaging material, labeling and drug products, and the authority to review production records to assure that no errors have occurred.The quality which is supposed to be achieved is not a concept which can be controlled by easy, numerical or other means, but it is the control over the intrinsic quality of a test facility and its studies. The aim of this book is to share useful and practical knowledge about quality control in several fields with the people who want to improve their knowledge.

Book Description
The book presents new research in the area of biobased “green composites”. Biobased materials involve renewable agricultural and forestry feedstocks, including wood, agricultural waste, grasses and natural plant fibers. These lignocellulosic materials are composed mainly of carbohydrates such as sugar and lignin, cellulose, vegetable oils and proteins. Much research is concerned with renewable materials such as bamboo, vegetable fibers, soil composites and recycled materials such as rice husk ash and sugar cane ash. The general aim here is to use renewable and non-polluting materials in ways that offer a high degree of sustainability and preserve the remaining natural resources for future generations. Keywords: Biobased Materials, Renewable Materials, Non-polluting Materials, Sustainability, Wood, Agricultural Waste, Grasses, Natural Plant Fibers, Lignocellulosic Materials, Carbohydrates, Sugars, Lignin, Cellulose, Vegetable Oils, Proteins, Bamboo, Vegetable Fibers, Soil Composites, Recycled Materials, Rice Husk Ash, Sugar Cane Ash, Fiber-reinforced Concrete, Post-disaster Reconstruction, Guadua Fibers, Prefabricated Bamboo Guadua Panels, Multi-Level Bamboo Structures, Alkaline Activated Cements, Polymer Residues Reinforced with Glass Fiber, Composites Reinforced with Vegetal Fibers, Sisal Fibers, Bamboo Arch Structure, Adobe Reinforced with Wheat Fibers, Fiber Reinforced Microconcrete, Cements with High Coal Waste Contents, Natural Composites, Geopolymer Concretes.
