Research and Development
The quality and level of research and developement in Japan is a subject of concern to both industry and government. The Japanese government has been...
-
Construction Considerations
The design and fabrication of structural elements must be done with care and understanding to assure the desired quality. This is true of elements...
-
Flexural Strength
It has been shown that a variation in the external load acting on a prestressed concrete beam results in a change in the location of the pressure...

Dynamic Crack Initiation, Some Experimental Methods and Modelling
The main purpose of this part of the book is to review new experimental methods which are useful and effective in determination of resistance to...
-
Modelling and Testing: Implementation of Numerical Models and Their Application in Practice
The complexity of many geomechanical systems necessitates the use of modern numerical methods such as the finite element, boundary element and finite...
-
Temporary Construction
The construction documents typically leave the “means and methods” of the construction to the contractor. Thus, during construction, a wide range of...

A Solar Hydrogen Energy System
Current prospects as to a steady supply of sufficient energy in the future are diffuse. The most commonly discernible view of scientists interested...
-
Gravity Dam Design and Analysis
A gravity dam is an essentially solid concrete structure that resists imposed forces principally by its own weight. Although usually straight in...
-
Concrete Dam Performance and Remedial Measures
Portland cement concrete is inherently durable. Still, some concrete dams may need to be improved because of deficiencies in their design and...
-
Belt Conveyors
A belt conveyor is used for transporting materials, generally horizontally, from one location to another. It is made up of an endless belt on top of...
-
Membrane Theory
We examine the individual terms of the force equilibrium equations, (3.17a-c), and the moment equilibrium equations, (3.22a-c). We see that the...
