Selected, peer-reviewed papers from the 2011 International Conference on Structures and Building Materials, (ICSBM 2011), 7-9 January, 2011, Guangzhou, China
This collection of 501 peer-reviewed papers, presented as a three-volume set, covers the latest advances in micromechanical characterization, mechanical properties, durability analysis, failure mechanisms and non-destructive evaluation of building materials. Taken together with its coverage of applications, this collection will be welcomed by anyone interested in these subjects. Review from Book News Inc.: Three thick volumes present papers from the International Conference on Structures and Building Materials (ICSBM 2011), held in January 2011, in Guangzhou, China, organized primarily by the faculty of civil and transportation engineering, Guangdong University of Technology, with participation from four other Chinese universities. Contributors are from many countries. Broadly, the subjects include advancements and applications of micromechanical characterization, mechanical properties, durability analysis, failure mechanisms, and nondestructive evaluation of building materials. Arrangement of papers is in sections on traditional building materials, advanced building materials, and other related topics. A small sample of specific topics: fracture energy analysis of eco-concretes in Japan, theoretical assessment of FRP tendon wedge anchorage system, and infrared spectrum study of autoclaved systems with solid wastes. A keyword index is included in the third volume.
This proceedings volume chronicles the papers presented at the 35th CIB W78 2018 Conference: IT in Design, Construction, and Management, held in Chicago, IL, USA, in October 2018. The theme of the conference focused on fostering, encouraging, and promoting research and development in the application of integrated information technology (IT) throughout the life-cycle of the design, construction, and occupancy of buildings and related facilities. The CIB – International Council for Research and Innovation in Building Construction – was established in 1953 as an association whose objectives were to stimulate and facilitate international cooperation and information exchange between governmental research institutes in the building and construction sector, with an emphasis on those institutes engaged in technical fields of research. The conference brought together more than 200 scholars from 40 countries, who presented the innovative concepts and methods featured in this collection of papers.
The six volumes LNCS 11619-11624 constitute the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2019, held in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in July 2019. The 64 full papers, 10 short papers and 259 workshop papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected form numerous submissions. The 64 full papers are organized in the following five general tracks: computational methods, algorithms and scientific applications; high performance computing and networks; geometric modeling, graphics and visualization; advanced and emerging applications; and information systems and technologies. The 259 workshop papers were presented at 33 workshops in various areas of computational sciences, ranging from computational science technologies to specific areas of computational sciences, such as software engineering, security, artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies.
"This book aims to collect the latest advancement and applications of micromechanical characterization, mechanical properties, durability analysis, failure mechanisms and nondestructive evaluation of building materials"--Preface.
This book gathers the peer-reviewed contributions presented at two parallel, closely interconnected events on advanced construction materials and processes, namely the 2nd International RILEM Conference on Rheology and Processing of Construction Materials (RheoCon2) and the 9th International RILEM Symposium on Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC9), held in Dresden, Germany on 8-11 September 2019. The papers discuss various aspects of research on the development, testing, and applications of cement-based and other building materials together with their specific rheological properties. Furthermore, the papers cover the latest findings in the fast-growing field of self-compacting concrete, addressing topics including components’ properties and characterization; chemical admixtures, effect of binders (incl. geopolymers, calcined clay, etc.) and mixture design; laboratory and in-situ rheological testing; constitutive models and flow modelling; numerical simulations; mixing, processing and casting processes; and additive manufacturing / 3D-printing. Also presenting case studies, the book is of interest to researchers, graduate students, and industry specialists, such as material suppliers, consultants and construction experts.
This book highlights the key role of green infrastructure (GI) in providing natural and ecosystem solutions, helping alleviate many of the environmental, social, and economic problems caused by rapid urbanization. The book gathers the emerging technologies and applications in various disciplines involving geotechnics, civil engineering, and structures, which are presented in numerous high-quality papers by worldwide researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and entrepreneurs at the 6th CIGOS event, 2021. Moreover, by sharing knowledge and experiences around emerging GI technologies and policy issues, the book aims at encouraging adoption of GI technologies as well as building capacity for implementing GI practices at all scales. This book is useful for researchers and professionals in designing, building, and managing sustainable buildings and infrastructure.
