Abstract

"This concrete structural design and analysis textbook has been a go-to resource for structural engineering students and professionals for over twenty years. Newly updated to reflect the latest ACI 318-19 code, this seventh edition emphasizes student comprehension by presenting design methods alongside relevant codes and standards. Numerous examples and practice problems guide students through the analysis and design of each type of structural member, and all examples are presented using SI units and US-SI conversion factors. New to this edition are code provisions for transverse reinforcement and shear in wide beams, hanger reinforcement, and bi-directional interaction of one-way shear. This seventh edition also includes the latest information on two-way shear strength, ordinary walls, seismic loads, reinforcement detailing and analysis, and materials requirements. Instructors have access to a solutions manual via the book's companion website" [Publisher]

Abstract

"The text presents the basic mechanics of structural concrete and methods for the design of individual members subjected to bending, shear, torsion, and axial forces. It additionally addresses in detail applications of the various types of structural members and systems, including an extensive presentation of slabs, beams, columns, walls, footings, retaining walls, and the integration of building systems" [Publisher]

Abstract

Los edificios del arquitecto Rafael Pardo son casi escultoricos: prismas de concreto intersecados para formar espacios domesticos. En cada uno de sus proyectos busca llevar al limite las propiedades del concreto para conseguir mayor expresividad formal, de modo que el material se vuelve estructura, muro y acabado. Esta publicacion narra las premisas y procesos de su arquitectura que apuntan hacia un nuevo brutalismo, mediante ensayos, una entrevista y ocho proyectos construidos en la ciudad de Xalapa, Veracruz. -- The buildings of Mexican architect Rafael Pardo are almost sculptural--concrete prisms intersecting to form domestic spaces. This monograph presents eight projects built in Xalapa, Veracruz, including photographs, original sketches and an interview by Miguel Adria.

Abstract

« Le béton armé est un matériau hétérogène, puisque constitué de béton et d'armatures en acier. Inerte, il évolue dans le temps, subissant des changements constants : dilatations, fissures, ruptures, etc. Cet ouvrage permet de diagnostiquer les dégradations, désordres et pathologies éventuelles, et de mettre en œuvre un entretien ou une réparation adapté. Ainsi, au moyen de fiches pratiques richement illustrées, cet ouvrage : explique la notion de durabilité d'un ouvrage, puis liste les désordres courants des constructions (bullage, écaillage, ségrégation, fissures, etc.) ; détaille les mécanismes de dégradations chimiques (carbonatation, attaques par les chlorures, les sulfates ou les acides, corrosion de l'acier, etc.) et leurs conséquences ; présente les classes d'exposition d'attaques chimiques (XA, XC, XD, etc.) ; décrit les dégradations mécaniques et physiques, constituées en majorité des surcharges, sols gonflants et du phénomène de gel/dégel ; expose les dégradations dues au défaut de conception, d'exécution ou d'exploitation ; développe la méthodologie et les principales étapes d'un diagnostic, puis analyse les méthodes non destructives utilisées pour le contrôle des fissures, par exemple, ou partiellement destructives, comme le carottage ; fournit les techniques de réparation (liants et résines en surface, béton coulé ou projeté, traitement des fissures), et de renforcement des poteaux, poutres, dalles et fondations par des plaques, du béton rapporté, ou des fibres synthétiques. En début d'ouvrage, un sommaire graphique renvoyant aux fiches pratiques permet d'identifier visuellement les désordres et dégradations, et ainsi de déterminer les essais, réparations et renforcements à effectuer selon les situations. » [Éditeur]

Abstract

The affirmation of reinforced concrete and the kinds of space generated by its structures is one of the most fascinating and revolutionary chapters in the history of twentieth century architecture and engineering. This richly illustrated, three-volume essay, New Era of American Architectural Concrete: From Wright to SOM offers the first complete overview of all the most significant research conducted in concrete in the United States of America from 1940 to 1970, in which the greatest architects of the time were involved including Frank Lloyd Wright, I.M. Pei, Louis Kahn, Paul Rudolf, Eero Saarinen, Bertrand Goldberg, Mies van der Rohe, Myron Goldsmith, Marcel Breuer, Skidmore Owings & Merril, Walter Gropius, Roche-Dinkeloo, Minoru Yamasaki, Harrison & Abramovitz, William Pereira, Emery Roth & Sons, and others. The analysis of the works presented on the pages of the three books reconstructs the most important inventions in the use of concrete, whether reinforced or not, prefabricated or cast in place, used in the form of skeleton, walls, columns, blocks or panels. The book leads readers to the discovery of shells, from those of Wallace Neff to those of Frederick John Kiesler, John M. Johansen, Eduardo Catalano, Harrison & Abramovitz or Marcel Breuer, and to the various experiments and applications of Gunite; it then gives an introduction to the understanding of the processes of self-construction made possible by innovative technical solutions, from the "desert concrete" of Frank Lloyd Wright, to the earth-cast concrete of Paolo Soleri, or the kind of concrete masonry of the "aggregate rubble" of Eero Saarinen; it provides the critical tools and technical data to dive into the meanings of the masterpieces of Bertrand Goldberg, Roche-Dinkeloo or Philip Johnson, raised with colossal hollow columns thanks to slip forms; and it allows readers to follow the phases of the invention of the Lift-Slab method and its multiple applications, up to the works of Mies van der Rohe and his disciples. Through the pages of the book, readers will discover the birth and evolution of the most ingenious structural devices for the construction of reinforced concrete skyscrapers, through the analysis of the works and projects of Mies, SOM, Wright, Kahn, Saarinen or Pei; readers are introduced to the analysis of decisive contributions made by engineers such as Fred Severud, Tung-Yen Lin, Fazlur Rahman Khan, Frank J. Kornacker, August Komendant, Keast & Hood, Weinberg, Ammann & Whitney, Richard Bradshaw, William James LeMessurier, Weiskopf & Pickworth; the book also allows readers to learn about the role played by construction companies such as George A. Fuller Company or associations such as the Atlantic Prestressed Concrete Company.The book also includes a chapter on a new kind of ornament, permitted by special plastic products applied to formwork, and other chapters dedicated to the different processing techniques to obtain various surface textures, from the bush-hammering of Marcel Breuer and Anshen & Allen, to the corduroy concrete of Paul Rudolph; it enters the complex theoretical universe of truths and lies, upon which the greatest architects have debated through the manipulation of concrete; finally it guides the readers up to the temporary decline of the creative force of structures, a decline marked by the theoretical statements of Peter Eisenman and Robert Venturi, and the advent of post-modernism. These are some of the topics discussed in New Era of American Architectural Concrete, which not only offers a first exhaustive history of a technique that was decisive in the United States, but also a new vision of twentieth century American architecture.

Abstract

This book summarizes the latest advances in understanding chloride ingress and steel corrosion in concrete under service loads. Unlike the existing literature, it focuses specifically on the effect of service loads on chloride-induced durability issues in reinforced concrete structures. It discusses how service loads affect the moisture and chloride penetration rate, corrosion kinetics and rust distribution, as well as the structural performance of concrete components (e.g. beams and columns) in a systematic and hierarchical way. Given its scope, the book is chiefly intended for researchers and industry practitioners in structural engineering, particularly those whose work involves the durability design of concrete structures.
