Historic BridgesEvaluation, Preservation, andManagementEdited by

Hojjat AdeliOhio State University, Columbus, USA

Perhaps more than any other engineeredstructures, bridges represent the height ofresourcefulness both in their design and their use of materials.Stone, brick, timber, wrought iron, steel, and concrete have allbeen effectively employed in a myriad of structural forms,many of which still stand as testimony to the brilliance ofbridge designers throughout the history of civilization, fromancient China to the modern-day United States. This work pro-vides both an admiring and detailed technical assessment ofbridge engineering by exploring several remarkable examplesand detailing the evolution of bridge design. Demonstratinghistoric significance beyond their utilitarian function, thebridges encountered in these pages are true landmarks, as wor-thy of emulation as they are preservation.

Structural Analysis ofHistoric ConstructionPreserving Safety andSignificanceEdited by

Dina D’Ayala and Enrico FoddeUniversity of Bath, Department of Architecture and CivilEngineering, England

Successful preservation of a historic building, complex, or citydepends on its continued use, daily care, and adaptation tomodern standards and practices of living. Conservation engi-neers must understand, interpret, and manage architectural her-itage to safely deliver it to posterity, enhancing private or pub-lic utility by working toward minimum loss of fabric and sig-nificance. These two objectives are sometimes conflicting, andwith growing global interest in conservation engineering, moreinclusive definitions of significance and better-articulated safe-ty concepts and technologies must be determined. This collec-tion of over 250 papers inspired by an international conferencepresents the latest findings on preservation in diverse culturalcircumstances.

Reinforced ConcreteDesign with FRPCompositesHota V.S. GangaRao and P.V.VijayWest Virginia University, Morgantown, USA

Narendra TalyCalifornia State University, Los Angeles, USA

This reader-friendly work presents specificsfor designing concrete structures with fiberreinforced polymer (FRP) composites as a substitute for steelreinforcement and use of FRP fabrics to strengthen concretemembers. Featuring practical examples, the authors examinethe design, durability, and serviceability – as well as analysis of– reinforced members, They also consider fundamental theo-ries of concrete member behavior under different loading con-ditions and ACI-recommended design approaches.

Computational Modellingof Concrete StructuresEdited by

Gunther Meschke, René de Borst,Herbert Mang, and Nenad BicanicLeading researchers and engineers contributedto this reference on computational modellingof complex concrete structures, reinforcedconcrete and prestressed concrete structures inengineering practice. Subjects include computational mechanicsof concrete and other cement materials, and advanced dis-cretization methods and micro-structural aspects within multi-field and multi-scale settings. Modelling formulations and frame-works and novel experimental programs are also discussed.

Strengthening andRehabilitation of CivilInfrastructures Using Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP)CompositesEdited by

Len C. Hollaway and Jin Guang TengThe Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China

The repair of deteriorated, damaged and substandard civilinfrastructures has become one of the most important issues forthe civil engineer worldwide. This important and valuable ref-erence guide discusses the use of externally-bonded fibre-rein-forced polymer (FRP) composites to strengthen, rehabilitateand retrofit civil engineering structures, covering such aspectsas material behavior, structural design, and quality assurance.

Self-Compacting ConcreteEdited by

Geert De Schutter, Peter J.M. Bartos,Peter Domone, and John GibbsDuring the last decade, concrete technologyhas greatly advanced through the introductionof self-compacting concrete (SCC). This bookdefines the key properties that make freshconcrete self-compacting and outlines test methods to assess it.Covering basic principles and underlying scientific theory,practical production advice, and construction use, it reviewsthe entire SCC production process, from material selection, mixdesign and process to transport, placing and finishing, andhealth and safety.

Novel Approaches toImproving HighTemperature CorrosionResistanceEdited by

M. SchützeSociety for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology,Germany

W. J. QuaddakkersInstitute of Energy Research at the Forschungszentrum, Germany

The problem of high-temperature corrosion affects sectors suchas the power generation, aerospace, and metal-working indus-tries. This book summarizes ways of modifying alloys toimprove their resistance to it. It discusses surface pre-treat-ments and coatings, research on testing for resistance, and thedevelopment of common testing standards. The book alsoreviews research on alloy behavior in various environments,and ways to process models for improving material perform-ance and service life.
