This highly successful textbook has been comprehensively revised for two main reasons: to bring the book up-to-date and make it compatible with BS8110 1985; and to take into account the increasing use made of microcomputers in civil engineering. An important chapter on microcomputer applications has been added.

Manual of numerical methods in concrete aims to present a unified approach for the available mathematical models of concrete, linking them to finite element analysis and to computer programs in which special provisions are made for concrete plasticity, cracking and crushing with and without concrete aggregate interlocking. Creep, temperature, and shrinkage formulations are included and geared to various concrete constitutive models.
This volume of proceedings consists of invited papers on the following and related subject areas: Composite Materials; Experimental Methods in Stress Analysis; Fracture Mechanics; Structural Stability; Non-Linear Behaviour of Materials and Structures; Plasticity; Numerical Methods; Structural Dynamics.
Concrete is ubiquitous and unique, found in every developed and developing country. Indeed, there are no alternatives to concrete as a volume construction material for infrastructure. This raises important questions of how concrete should be designed and constructed for cost effective use in the the short and long term, and to encourage further radical development. Equally, it must be environmentally friendly during manufacture, in an aesthetic presentation in structures and in the containment of harmful materials.; The central theme of the Congress is Concrete in the Service of Mankind, under which five self-contained Conferences, each dealing with a particular aspect, are planned. The Cong...
This text covers the fundamental scientific principles of fibres that have been modified to be compatible with cementitious matrices. It also provides information and a description of the properties of specific systems prepared with different types of fibres such as steel, glass, asbestos, polypropylene, natural fibres and various types of high performance polymeric fibres. It includes a reference list and sets of tables describing the engineering properties of the different systems and micrographs.
