Simplified Analytical Methods of Elastic Plates

Author: Hideo Takabatake

Publishing date: 2018

This book presents simplified analytical methodologies for static and dynamic problems concerning various elastic thin plates in the bending state and the potential effects of dead loads on static and dynamic behaviors. The plates considered vary in terms of the plane (e.g. rectangular or circular plane), stiffness of bending, transverse shear and mass. The representative examples include void slabs, plates stiffened with beams, stepped thickness plates, cellular plates and floating plates, in addition to normal plates. The closed-form approximate solutions are presented in connection with a groundbreaking methodology that can easily accommodate discontinuous variations in stiffness and mass with continuous function as for a distribution. The closed-form solutions can

Laxton's Building Price Book

Author: V.B. Johnson

Publishing date: 2006

Now in its 179th edition, "Laxton's" has become a firm favourite in the UK Building Industry. With more prices and more in-depth build-ups, "Laxton's" offers more practical and complete information than any other price book available. This new edition takes into account major price variations that stem from raw material costs in the last few months. Higher-fuel costs have impacted on prices across the board, in particular costs of non-ferrous metals are increased. Copper sheet and pipe show price increases of well above 50 per cent in the last year, while zinc, lead and aluminium prices have also risen significantly. There are savings in plaster and drainage goods, prices are down. All the prices in "Laxton's" are based on the new 3 year Construction Industry Joint

Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Asphalt and Composite Pavements

Publishing date: 2018

Premature cracking in asphalt pavements and overlays continues to shorten pavement lifecycles and creates significant economic and environmental burden. In response, RILEM Technical Committee TC 241-MCD on Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Asphalt and Composite Pavements has conducted a State-of-the-Art Review (STAR), as detailed in this comprehensive book. Cutting-edge research performed by RILEM members and their international partners is presented, along with summaries of open research questions and recommendations for future research. This book is organized according to the theme areas of TC 241-MCD - i.e., fracture in the asphalt bulk material, interface debonding behaviour, and advanced measurement systems.

Partial Saturation in Compacted Soil

Author: Domenico Gallipoli

Publishing date: 2013

Geotechnique Symposium in Print 2011: The theme of this symposium blends together two areas of research which relate to the effects of suction and partial saturation on soil behaviour and the study of compaction as a method of soil improvement. The recurring interest in these areas of research, together with the recent increase in the number of international conferences dedicated to unsaturated soils, is a clear indication of the continued relevance of this theme to the geotechnical profession. Contributions to this symposium show that recent developments of experimental techniques and modelling tools have enhanced our understanding of unsaturated soil mechanics and have resulted in the formulation of conceptual material frameworks that are applicable to different
