Ferrocement - Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium (Hardcover): R.N. Swamy, P. Nedwell Ferrocement - Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium (Hardcover)
R.N. Swamy, P. Nedwell
R8,275 Discovery Miles 82 750 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Ferrocement is a versatile, construction material, with applications in low cost housing, rehabilitation, strengthening and repair of structures, especially in the developing world. The material can also be used in more advanced constructions for thin shell structures. This book forms the proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Ferrocement. It presents the latest developments in research and application of the material and should serve as a useful reference for all those interested in the material. This includes both researchers in all parts of the world, but also those responsible for low cost housing and construction in developing countries, in South America, Africa and the Far East. This book should be of interest to researchers concerned with building materials, government and international agencies involved with low cost housing, and repair specialists, consultants, contractors and material suppliers.

The Alkali-Silica Reaction in Concrete (Hardcover): R.N. Swamy The Alkali-Silica Reaction in Concrete (Hardcover)
R.N. Swamy
R15,146 Discovery Miles 151 460 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The deterioration of cement and concrete as a result of the alkali-silica reaction ("concrete cancer") is one of the major problems facing civil, structural and mechanical engineers involved in the design, construction, repair and maintenance of structures. It is a global problem, and in this book, case studies from both developed and developing countries have been selected to provide an insight into how variables such as climate, geology, construction materials and methods, and building practice, have a bearing on the magnitude of the problem and an influence on remedial measures. This book is a source of reference for civil, structural and mechanical engineers, designers and researchers.

Fibre Reinforced Cement and Concretes - Recent developments (Hardcover): R.N. Swamy, B. Barr Fibre Reinforced Cement and Concretes - Recent developments (Hardcover)
R.N. Swamy, B. Barr
R15,219 Discovery Miles 152 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This volume consists of papers presented at the International Conference on Recent Developments in Fibre Reinforced Cements and Concretes, held at the School of Engineering, University of Wales College of Cardiff, UK, 18-20 September 1989.

This book reviews the fundamental causes and spectrum effects of ASR. It considers he advances that have been made in our understanding of this problem throughout the world.

Fibre Reinforced Cement and Concrete - Proceedings of the Fourth RILEM International Symposium (Hardcover): R.N. Swamy Fibre Reinforced Cement and Concrete - Proceedings of the Fourth RILEM International Symposium (Hardcover)
R.N. Swamy
R18,996 Discovery Miles 189 960 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Fibre reinforced cement-based materials are being increasingly used throughout the world for applications which range from simple shelter structures through to advanced construction engineering. This book provides a comprehensive updating of recent research and development into these materials. Because of concern about the long-term durability of fibre composites, special emphasis is placed on aging and durability. Other sections of the text deal with new fibres and fabrication techniques, engineering properties, dynamic and structural behaviour, fracture behaviour and modelling. Applications of fibre reinforced cement and concrete and ferrocement are covered in separate sections. The book forms the proceedings of the 4th RILEM International Symposium on the subject, previous ones being held in London in 1975, and Sheffield in 1978 and 1986. The book should be useful for all those involved with research into new construction materials, who need to keep up with the latest advances in this field.
