Aci Prc 209 2 08 Guide For Modeling And Calculating Shrinkage And Creep In Hardened Concrete

Proceedings of the International Conference on Building Materials (ICBM 2024) 31 October – 03 November, Hanoi, Vietnam

This volume presents articles from the International Conference on Building Materials; ICBM2024 with the theme “Building Materials in the 21st Century”, held at Hanoi in Vietnam, from 31st October to 03rd November. The conference is a diversified-topic forum for international and Vietnamese researchers, academics, industry professionals, experts and policy makers etc. to share their views, and to learn from others about recent and current developments in science and technology of building materials in the 21st century and also to discuss actions required for forthcoming building materials as well as construction development in the future. The book highlights recent research on cement, concrete, refractory materials, fire-resistant materials, paints, glass, product quality testing methods, environmental protection and recycling wastes in building material industry.

Seismic Evaluation, Damage, and Mitigation in Structures

Seismic Evaluation, Damage, and Mitigation in Structures covers recent developments in the field of seismic performance assessment of structures. Earthquakes are one of the main natural hazards that can directly cause damage to a structure or even instigate a structural collapse, resulting in significant economic and human loss of life. In the event of an earthquake where many buildings and infrastructure components are not able to function afterward, or if extensive repair and associated disruption are needed, it can be extremely costly and take a long time to resolve. Divided into three parts, this book reviews and discusses earthquake-induced damage evaluation in structures, the repair of structural and non-structural components, and seismic damage mitigation strategies. With contributions from the leading experts in the field, this book is for earthquake engineers, structural engineers, PhD students studying civil engineering, people who can easily inspect and repair structures for quick reoccupation, and for those who understand topics such as design and damage mitigation, and limited structural or non-structural damage in seismic events. - Provides effective and economical methods to assess the seismic performance of structures - Analyzes earthquake damage and repair or demolition of buildings - Offers future needs for constructing seismic resistant structures
