THE CHEMISTRY OF CEMENT AND CONCRETE, Third Edition F.M LEA The advances in the chemistry and physics of cements led to the necessity for this third edition. Lea's book deals with the chemical and physical properties of cements and concretes and their relation to the practical problems that arise in their manufacture and use. It will be of great interest not only to the chemist involved in the science and technology of silicate materials but also to those using concrete in building and civil engineering construction. Attention is given to problems arising in the use of concrete, from the...

The Irish countryside is a patchwork of over 250,000 miles of stone wall. This guide covers the history of this ancient tradition, giving illustrated examples and step-by-step instructions on constructing, conserving and repairing stone walls of all types - whether dry stone or mortar.

This is a superior quality reissue of the still widely used 1975 edition. Contains photographs, tables and illustrations.

Discusses the Bureau of Reclamation's methodology for concrete repair. Addresses the more common causes of damage to concrete. Identifies the methods and materials most successful in repairing concrete damage.

A detailed guide to Eurocode 6 Design of Masonry Structures: Part 1-1 Common rules for reinforced and unreinforced masonry structures, dealing with the various sections in EN1996-1-1: 1 General Introduction and Terminology / 2 Basis of design / 3 Materials / 4 Durability / 5 Structural analysis / 6 Ultimate Limit State / 7 Serviceability Limit State / 8 Detailing / 9 Execution. A valuable insight is given into the code that addresses unreinforced masonry and reinforced masonry where the reinforcement is added to provide ductility, strength or improve serviceability and provides the structural...

The oldest still visible traces of domestic architecture in Pompeji show two construction techniques: opus quadratum (ashlar masonry) and opus africanum (limestone framework). These techniques were applied together in the same building, each for a specific purpose. Whereas ashlar masonry was always used in a consistent manner, the walls of limestone framework display a greater variety, which can be classified on the basis of construction techniques. This research has taken also into account the composition of the clay mortar which is typical for this period. After a relative chronology was...

Building Code Requirement for Masonry Structures, Specifications for Masonry Structures, Commentary on Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures, and Commentary on Specifications for Masonry Structures is a joint effort of ACI, ASCE, and TMS. The Code covers the design and construction of masonry structures, including: permits and drawings; quality assurance; materials; placing embedded items; analysis and design; strength and serviceability; flexural and axial...

Proceedings of sessions on grouting at Geo-Logan, held in Logan, Utah, July 16-18, 1997. Sponsored by the Grouting Committee of the Geo-Institute of ASCE.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 23 papers reporting case studies, field studies, and laboratory studies related to grouting materials and related technologies. Compaction grouting topics include reviews of mechanisms; the state of the practice; theories; grouting program for remediating a highway; and effect of fines in compaction grouts. Remediation grouting topics include radioactive waste trench grouting,...

(Createspace edition - Black and white version. The version with colour pictures at the back is also available on Amazon. It is of course dearer But exactly same content.) If you have ever wanted to sculpt or build in a permanent material that is extremely strong and can be moulded to any shape, ferrocement is the medium for you - and this concise book shows you how to do it all. Tools, techniques and sample projects - a garden pot, angel, dome, and more - are all logically described and illustrated. The many photos showing the building of Cafe Eutopia by the author and his family will...

Concrete as a construction material goes through both physical and chemical changes under extreme elevated temperatures. As one of the most widely used building materials, it is important that both engineers and architects are able to understand and predict its behavior in under extreme heat conditions. Brief and readable, this book provides the tools and techniques to properly analysis the effects of high temperature of reinforced concrete which will lead to more stable, safer structures.

Based on years of the author's research, Reinforced Concrete at Elevated Temperatures four...

Minimize loss of revenue and the downtime of critical assets by avoiding foundation cracking, poor bonds, and initial alignment changes. After their successful introduction as a maintenance material, machinery grouts are now being used for equipment placement in new construction. While certainly suitable for both markets and applications, a successful installation depends on proper grout selection, application, foundation preparation, and forming methods. Therefore, guidelines on their uses and limitations are needed for engineers and maintenance personnel.

Based on 45 years of...

Design of Structural Masonry provides a comprehensive source of information on practical masonry design, introduces the nature and inherent characteristics of masonry given in relation to the requirements of BS 5628 and introduces the use of Eurocode EC6 in structural masonry design. The book's content ranges from an introduction to masonry as a material to the design of realistic structures.

Bricks were introduced to Britain by the Romans and reintroduced by Flemish craftsmen in the middle ages. Until the early nineteenth century they were made in numerous small brickyards supplying local needs, but eventually increasing demand led to the invention of improved brickmaking machines and kilns. This book gives an insight into the surprising variety of bricks, as well as a brief history of brickmaking, descriptions of hand and machine moulding, drying, the use of kilns and firing. Despite competition from newer materials, brick still holds its own as a facing material and traditional...

Dry stone walls of Britain range from the stone hedges of south-west England to the mountain walls of North Wales, running for miles over severe country, and often climbing slopes of over 45 degrees. They happen also to be in the areas that attract many tourists, and so it is not surprising that the walls that are an integral part of the landscape should provoke so many questions: 'When were they built?', 'Who built them?', 'How do they stand up without cement?' This book answers these and many other questions. The reasons for building dry stone walls, th story of their development, technical...

This book will serve as an excellent text for NVQ plastering students, whilst its encyclopaedic structure enables the experienced plasterer to select information quickly on finer points when faced with an unfamiliar task.
