This is the most convenient reference yet from Schaum's - with look-up as quick as ABC! Schaum's bestselling study guides have been proven to produce results, provide comprehensive review, and improve test scores. Suitable for senior high-school students, AP students, and college freshmen, Schaum's A-Z guides are an ideal complement to your course textbooks and test-preparation guides. They provide the information you need to expand your existing knowledge.Each Schaum's A-Z handbook puts your studies on the fast track with: an A-Z format that make finding definitions for unfamiliar terms easy and quick; definitions that help you break through technical jargon; thorough, easy-to-understand explanations that simplify complex concepts you need for your classwork; cross-referenced entries to show you how central ideas link together; review lists of key concepts that prepare you for your examinations; and advice on how to understand common examiners' terms and other test-taking tips.Here in Schaum's A-Z Chemistry , you will find: concise definitions of more than 1,100 key terms; hundreds of helpful diagrams, graphs, and tables; clear presentations of formulae, structures, reactions, and tests; and, completed examples that show you how to answer typical short examination questions. This title includes topics such as: atoms; electrons in atoms; chemical amounts and formulae; chemical amounts and equations; states of matter; gases; structure and properties; bonding; energetics; redox reactions; periodic table; reaction rates; chemical equilibrium; organic reactions; hydrocarbons; organic halogen compounds; alcohols; petrochemicals; fuels; waste; experimental skills; kinetics; reaction mechanisms; the equilibrium law; thermochemistry of ionic compounds; periodicity; transition metal chemistry; organic structures; arenes; polymers; instrumental methods; and, organic synthesis.

Civil engineering failures currently amount to 5 to 10 % of the total investment in new buildings and structures. These failures not only represent important cost considerations, they also have an environmental burden associated with them. Structures often deteriorate because not enough attention is given during the design stage and most standards for structural design do not cover design for service life. Designing for durability is often left to the structural designer or architect who may not have the necessary skills, and the result is all too often failure, incurring high maintenance and repair costs. Knowledge of the long-term behaviour of materials, building components and structures is the basis for avoiding these failures. 

Durability of engineering structures uses on the design of buildings for service life, effective maintenance and repair techniques in order to reduce the likelihood of failure. It describes the in situ performance of all the major man-made materials used in civil engineering construction - metals (steel and aluminium), concrete and wood. In addition some relatively new high-performance materials are discussed - high-performance concrete, high-performance steel and fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP). Deterioration mechanisms and the measures to counteract these, as well as subsequent maintenance and repair techniques are also considered and the latest standards on durability and repair are explained. 

Strategies for durability, maintenance and repair, including life cycle costing and environmental life cycle assessment methods are discussed. Finally practical case studies show how repairs can be made and the best ways of ensuring long term durability. This book is aimed at students in civil engineering, engineers, architects, contractors, plant managers, maintenance managers and inspection engineers.

- Explains the reasons why structures often deteriorate before they should because of poor design
- Shows how to design structures effectively for service life
- Considers durability characteristics of standard and high performance construction materials
