Physical Properties of Concrete and Concrete Constituents
Author: Jean-Pierre Ollivier
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 111856295X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Understanding the rheological properties of fresh concrete, the hydration phenomenon of cement responsible for structuration, the relationship between the characteristics of the porous solid obtained and its mechanical performances or resistance to the aggressive penetration requires a complex knowledge of the physicochemistry of reactive porous materials. The development of simple formulation rules therefore requires the assimilation of this knowledge and a good command of the properties of these materials. The purpose of this book is to provide the mix designer with useful knowledge on granular materials and porous materials, which will enable the innovative design of concrete. Topics covered include the characterization of granular materials, the concepts of porosity and specific surface area, and the transport properties (diffusion and permeation) of concrete. Some of these topics are already covered in other general books dedicated to granular or porous materials. The objective here is to bring them together in one book by adapting them for use by concrete specialists. Applications in the form of exercises are offered at the end of each chapter to enable readers to assimilate the theoretical knowledge and to apply such knowledge to concrete problems encountered in civil engineering. Contents 1. Description of Granular Materials, Definitions. 2. Granulometry. 3. Specific Surface Area of Materials. 4. Voids in Granular Materials and the Arrangement of Grains. 5. Voids in Concrete. 6. The Fundamentals of Diffusion. 7. Permeability.

Meat: the New Cigarette
Author: Matthew A. King
Publisher: Bookbaby
ISBN: 9781098398637
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
In his eye-opening book, Matthew King, registered nurse and president and co-founder of the Christian Animal Rights Association, examines the harmful effects of consuming meat and animal products from a scientific and medical standpoint . . . and the startling similarities between the promotion of Big Tobacco and Big Meat, including marketing, industry-funded studies, lobbying, and government subsidies. Fifty years ago, cigarettes were glamorized in advertising and even doctor recommended. Now, of course, we know that cigarettes cause lung cancer, and they are banned in most public places, including hospitals. However, an equally detrimental threat to public health--the consumption of meat and animal products--remains unchecked, unacknowledged by healthcare professionals, and even served to hospital patients being treated for the very diseases a diet rich in meat causes. Hoping to bridge the disconnect healthcare workers have between the diseases they are treating and the root cause of the disease, Meat: The New Cigarette incorporates an overview of the damages meat causes, compelling data supporting the adoption of a plant-based diet, and the critical role nurses and other healthcare practitioners play in reversing the current crisis that endangers not only the health of America, but the world.
