Smart Cement Development Testing Modeling and Real-Time Monitoring

Smart Cement Development Testing Modeling and Real-Time Monitoring

Over three billion metric tons of cement are produced annually worldwide making concrete the most extensively used construction material. Self-sensing or smart cement allows real-time monitoring of performance through the entire service life of a concrete structure for the detection of changing stresses contamination excessive temperature gas leaks and pre-seismic activity. This is achieved by adding a very small proportion of conductive or semi-conductive fibers such as carbon fibers to the bulk cement making it piezoresistive and enabling changes in the concrete’s electrical resistivity in response to shear stress and strain to be monitored. This state-of-the-art reference work presents experimental results with a realistic theoretical framework for cement manufactures concrete technologists and contractors as well as researchers. | Smart Cement Development Testing Modeling and Real-Time Monitoring

Improving Schools with Blended Learning How to Make Technology Work in the Modern Classroom

Improving Schools with Blended Learning How to Make Technology Work in the Modern Classroom

Improving Schools with Blended Learning is specifically designed to address the important issues needed to successfully modernise education within the context of technological change. It does this by first providing a clear roadmap for designing Blended Learning environments able to respond to the technological imperatives challenging schools at present and then illustrating this roadmap via specific original research that details the 'how to' aspects of a successful technology-based design process. School leaders teachers teacher education students and researchers will all find highly relevant information about how to manage for disruption in the new and informative approach to Blended Learning (BL) they will discover in this book. This book arose from two different research projects the authors have been pursuing over the last 3–5 years including school improvement research and Blended Learning research designed to investigate the role of technology in effective teaching and learning. By combining the insights gained from these two different research areas this book is able to present a novel understanding of BL that is both insightful and clearly evidence-based. Improving Schools with Blended Learning also provides several original contributions to specific knowledge in the areas of BL and school improvement that most educators will find highly useful including the use of BL schemas a clear and extended BL continuum how to measure and evaluate the success of BL how to scaffold teacher ICT knowledge and skills and a specific process for contextualising applied BL in relation to the ‘disruption’ imperatives of the Knowledge Economy. | Improving Schools with Blended Learning How to Make Technology Work in the Modern Classroom

Textile Reinforced Concrete

Textile Reinforced Concrete

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) has emerged in recent years as an attractive new high performance cement-based composite. Textiles can significantly improve the mechanical behavior of cement matrices under static and dynamic conditions and give superior tensile strength toughness ductility energy absorption and protection against environmental degrading influences. Flexibility with fabric production methods enables the control of fabric and yarn geometry. This along with the ability to incorporate into the fabric a range of yarns of different types and performances as well as cement matrix modifications enables design of the composite to a wide range of needs. The book is intended to provide a comprehensive treatment of TRC covering the basic fundamentals of the composite material itself and the principles governing its performance on a macro-scale as a component in a structure. It provides in-depth treatment of the fabric methods for production of the composite the micro-mechanics with special attention to the role of bonding and microstructure behavior under static and dynamic loading sustainability design and the applications of TRC composites.

Fiber-Reinforced Cements and Concretes

Fiber-Reinforced Cements and Concretes

The concept of reinforcing brittle materials like cement paste mortar or concrete with fibers has been known since ancient times. For example baked clay reinforced with straw was used to build mud huts and mortars for masonry were reinforced with animal hair. The wide variety of fiber types available in the 20th century has led to the development of a specialization in modern concrete technology based upon creating composites incorporating one or more types of fiber into the matrix of cement paste mortar or concrete. This book summarizes and simplifies the results of a considerable body of research and practical experience with a wide range of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites. This information will prove invaluable to engineers architects concrete contractors and others working in design construction or product manufacture who may be unfamiliar with this technology. | Fiber-Reinforced Cements and Concretes

Concrete Mix Design Quality Control and Specification

Concrete Mix Design Quality Control and Specification

The nature of concrete is rapidly changing and with it there are rising concerns. Thoroughly revised and updated this fourth edition of Concrete Mix Design Quality Control and Specification addresses current industry practices that provide inadequate durability and fail to eliminate problems with underperforming new concrete and defective testing. Many specifications now require additional criteria in an attempt to improve durability or other properties. This book discusses the trend towards adding performance requirements to existing prescriptive specifications. It also explores the matter of prescription versus performance specification and especially the specification of non-strength-related performance such as durability. What’s new in the Fourth Edition: Examines water-to-cement ratio as a declining criterion of quality and durability Discusses the diminishing availability of suitable natural sands and growing industry concerns regarding the environmental impact of their use Considers advances in concrete admixtures and their ever-increasing use Advocates reliability of testing as a vital feature of the shift from prescriptive to performance specifications Addresses cement replacement materials as they relate to greenhouse gas and sustainability Concrete Mix Design Quality Control and Specification explores producing designing controlling or specifying concrete and addresses issues related with sustainability and the impact of new concrete materials such as ready mixed geopolymers magnesium oxide and calcium carbonate.
