Design of High-performance Pre-engineered Steel Concrete Composite Beams for Sustainable Construction by Ming-Shan Zhao,Sing-Ping Chiew,Guan-Feng Chua,Miao Ding,Yi Yang,Zhengxia Cong Pdf

This accessible and practical shortform book details the properties and advantages of high-performance pre-engineered steel-concrete composite beams (HPCBs) for improving the sustainability of construction techniques. It also explains the analysis methods for testing HPCB systems. The authors describe a new HPCB system that has been developed to reduce the input of raw materials and embodied CO2 commonly associated with heavily loaded and long-spanned industrial buildings (which predominately comprise reinforced concrete) and improve the sustainability of the construction process. They provide several resources throughout to facilitate adoption by professionals. Design equations derived from Eurocode 4 approach for ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state and worked examples are included throughout. The authors discuss the feasibility for both materials and the full-scale beams and CO2 reduction methods, including use of recycled concrete aggregate, ground granulated blast-furnace and silica fume to replace natural coarse aggregates and Ordinary Portland Cement. Guidance for testing HPCBs—including setup, test procedure and data collection and interpretation—is also given. The authors also elaborate on recommendations for finite element analysis for HPCBs. Design examples are appended to illustrate typical current practice using a 12 × 12 m grid floor with live load of 15 kPa. Various considerations for different parameters such as fire resistance are discussed. Finally, the authors present a case study of a recently completed industrial building in Singapore to quantify the benefits of using HPCBs over reinforced concrete and conventional composite construction. Structural engineering professionals, whose work relates to long-span and heavy-loading industrial or commercial buildings, will benefit from the detailed guidance and focus on practical applications provided throughout this book. Post-graduate students of advanced steel and composite structures will also benefit from these descriptions.

A Conceptual Model for Designing Recycled Aggregate Concrete for Structural Applications by Marco Pepe Pdf

This book reports on the physical and mechanical characterization of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC), produced through a partial-to-total replacement of ordinary aggregates with what have been dubbed Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCAs). It proposes a theoretical framework for understanding the relationships between RCAs and RCA, and for predicting the resulting behavior of RAC. The book demonstrates that in the case of RAC two additional parameters have to be taken into account than with ordinary aggregates, due to the composite nature and higher porosity of RCAs. By extending Abrams’ Law for Recycled Aggregate Concrete, it represents a first step in the formulation of a general model for predicting the properties of RAC. The theoretical approach presented here addresses an important gap in the literature and is expected to stimulate new research on the use of this more sustainable form of concrete in structural applications.

Recycled Aggregate Concrete Structures by Jianzhuang Xiao Pdf

This book describes how, given the global challenge of a shortage of natural resources in the 21st century, the recycling of waste concrete is one of the most important means of implementing sustainable construction development strategies. Firstly, the book presents key findings on the micro- and meso-structure of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), while the second part focuses on the mechanical properties of RAC: the strength, elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, stress-strain curve, etc. The third part of the book explores research on the durability of RAC: carbonization, chloride penetration, shrinkage and creep. It then presents key information on the mechanical behavior and seismic performance of RAC elements and structures: beams, columns, slabs, beam-column joints, and frames. Lastly, the book puts forward design guidelines for recycled aggregate concrete structures. Taken as a whole, the research results – based on a series of investigations the author has condu cted on the mechanical properties, durability and structural performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) over the past 10 years – demonstrate that, with proper design and construction, it is safe and feasible to utilize RAC structures in civil engineering applications. The book will greatly benefit researchers, postgraduates, and engineers in civil engineering with an interest in this field.

Sustainable Construction Materials by Ravindra K. Dhir,Jorge de Brito,Ciaran J. Lynn,Rui V. Silva Pdf

Sustainable Construction Materials: Municipal Incinerated Bottom Ash discusses the global use of virgin aggregates and CO2 polluter Portland cement. Given the global sustainability agenda, much of the demand for these two sets of materials can be substantially reduced through the appropriate use of waste materials, thereby conserving natural resources, energy and CO2 emissions. Realistically, this change can only be realized and sustained through engineering ingenuity and new concepts in design. Although a great deal of research has been published over the last 50 years, it remains fragmented and ineffective. This book develops a single global knowledge-base, encouraging greater use of selected waste streams. The focus of massive systematic reviews is to encourage the uptake of recycled secondary materials (RSM) by the construction industry and guide researchers to recognize what is already known regarding waste.

Compressive Strength of Concrete by Pavel Krivenko Pdf

Concrete made using mineral cements, the raw materials which on earth are practically endless, is known as one of the oldest building materials and during the last decades of the twentieth century has become a dominant building material for general use. At the same time, the requirements of the quality of concrete and its performance properties, in particular compressive strength, durability, economical efficiency, and low negative impact of its manufacture on the environment have not yet been completely met. Bearing these requirements in mind, researchers and engineers worldwide are working on how to satisfy these requirements. This book has been written by researchers and experts in the field and provides the state of the art on recent progress achieved on the properties of concrete, including concrete in which industrial by-products are utilized. The book is dedicated to graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers in related fields.
