Book Description
Excerpt from Reinforced Concrete IN the following pages the author has endeavoured to place before engineers, architects and others a complete treatment of the subject of reinforced concrete in so far as is possible at the present day. It is hoped that the book, which is believed to be the first of the kind to appear in the English language, will be found useful by the many engineers and architects who already take an interest in this form of construction, and who wish to investigate it, and that it may also be the means of bringing to the notice of others a material whose usefulness and economy in suitable cases are beyond dispute. All the subject matter has been so arranged as to facilitate reference as much as possible. The several systems used up to the present have been placed in alphabetical order, so that any particular one may be readily found when desired. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Concrete Planet
Author: Robert Courland
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 163388869X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Concrete: We use it for our buildings, bridges, dams, and roads. We walk on it, drive on it, and many of us live and work within its walls. But very few of us know what it is. We take for granted this ubiquitous substance, which both literally and figuratively comprises much of modern civilization's constructed environment; yet the story of its creation and development features a cast of fascinating characters and remarkable historical episodes. Featuring a new epilogue on the Surfside condominium collapse and the current state of infrastructure in America, this book delves into this history, opening readers' eyes at every turn. In a lively narrative peppered with intriguing details, author Robert Courland describes how some of the most famous personalities of history became involved in the development and use of concrete-including King Herod the Great of Judea, the Roman emperor Hadrian, Thomas Edison (who once owned the largest concrete cement plant in the world), and architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Courland points to recent archaeological evidence suggesting that the discovery of concrete directly led to the Neolithic Revolution and the rise of the earliest civilizations. Much later, the Romans reached extraordinarily high standards for concrete production, showcasing their achievement in iconic buildings like the Coliseum and the Pantheon. Amazingly, with the fall of the Roman Empire, the secrets of concrete manufacturing were lost for over a millennium. The author explains that when concrete was rediscovered in the late eighteenth century it was initially viewed as an interesting novelty or, at best, a specialized building material suitable only for a narrow range of applications. It was only toward the end of the nineteenth century that the use of concrete exploded. During this rapid expansion, industry lobbyists tried to disguise the fact that modern concrete had certain defects and critical shortcomings. It is now recognized that modern concrete, unlike its Roman predecessor, gradually disintegrates with age. Compounding this problem is another distressing fact: the manufacture of concrete cement is a major contributor to global warming. Concrete Planet is filled with incredible stories, fascinating characters, surprising facts, and an array of intriguing insights into the building material that forms the basis of the infrastructure on which we depend.

A Review of the Literature of Reinforced Concrete (Classic Reprint)

ISBN: 9781334196096
Category : Technology & Engineering

Pages : 72
Book Description
Excerpt from A Review of the Literature of Reinforced Concrete Previous to 1904 the literature in the English language on rein forced concrete consisted of scattered articles in technical periodi cals, and of papers in the transactions of engineering and other allied societies, but during that year the growing need for a com prehensive and systematic treatise was supplied by the publication of three books within a few months of each other. Since that time there has been such a vast amount of literature on the subject that it is difficult for those interested to select the book that best suits their special requirements. Hundreds of requests have been received by the Engineering News Book Department for information as to the best books or regarding the value of some special book or for a comparison of two or more books, and the impossibility of satisfactorily entering into such details in correspondence has led to the preparation of the fol lowing list oi current works, with brief descriptions, sufficient, how ever, to give some idea of the scope of each. Any of these books can be supplied by The Engineering News Book Department (220 Broadway, New York) and will be sent prepaid, to any part of the world, on receipt of price, and in every case when the books are in print and available in New York City, they will be shipped the same day that the order is received. The Engineering News Book Department can also supply any other books published, of a technical or general nature, and will be pleased to give information regarding these, on request.(patents Applied for) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Reinforced Concrete
Author: James Grierson MacGregor
Publisher: Prentice Hall
ISBN: 9780136139850
Category : Reinforced concrete
Languages : en
Pages : 939
Book Description
Based on the 1995 edition of the American Concrete Institute Building Code, this text explains the theory and practice of reinforced concrete design in a systematic and clear fashion, with an abundance of step-by-step worked examples, illustrations, and photographs. The focus is on preparing students to make the many judgment decisions required in reinforced concrete design, and reflects the author's experience as both a teacher of reinforced concrete design and as a member of various code committees. This edition provides new, revised and expanded coverage of the following topics: core testing and durability; shrinkage and creep; bases the maximum steel ratio and the value of the factor on Appendix B of ACI318-95; composite concrete beams; strut-and-tie models; dapped ends and T-beam flanges. It also expands the discussion of STMs and adds new examples in SI units.
