High Performance Concretes
This state-of-the-art report summarizes the results of an extensive search and review of available literature on the mechanical properties of concrete, with particular reference to high performance concrete for highway applications. Included in the review and discussion are the behavior of plastic concrete as well as the strength and deformation characteristics of hardened concrete. Both short-term and long-term effects are considered. Based on the review of the available information, research needs are identified. It is concluded that much research is needed to develop data on the strength and durability properties of concrete which develops high strength, particularly very early strength.
High-Strength Concrete
This practical book from a highly experienced author presents clearly the means and methods for designing, producing and using high-strength concrete. High-strength concrete offers many benefits. Higher compressive strengths allow for a reduction in the cross-sectional dimensions of columns and walls in buildings. Its greater stiffness allows for increasing building heights while controlling sway and occupant comfort. Civil structures such as bridges have benefited from greater span lengths, shallower beam sections, wider girder spacing, and extended service life. Illustrated with real life examples, through documented case histories, High-Strength Concrete will be a valuable resource for contractors, producers, inspection agencies, as well as engineers and researchers.
Forever Foreigners Or Honorary Whites?
Examines the meaning of ethnicity for later-generation Chinese and Japanese Americans, and asks how the racialized ethnic experience differs from the white ethnic experience. Material is based on interviews with 95 middle-class Chinese and Japanese Californians, who respond to questions on experiences with Chinese and Japanese culture, current lifestyle and emerging cultural practices, experiences with racism and discrimination, and attitudes on immigration.

Long Reinforced Concrete Columns
Papers selected by the Reinforced Concrete Research Council of ASCE. This collection contains 13 papers reporting the results of a series of studies, begun in 1960, on the behavior of long reinforced concrete columns in frames. This report also includes additional studies limit design aspects of column and frame stability that were proposed in 1967. Findings from these studies, resulted in important changes in the slenderness provisions for reinforced concrete colums adopted in the 1983 American Concrete Institute building code.
HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE PROPERTIES & APPLICATIONS
High performance concrete is used in almost all big construction projects, including towering office and residential buildings, bridges, tunnels, and motorways. This book assists professionals in understanding the performance characteristics of various construction materials when deciding which type of concrete to utilize for certain projects. A comprehensive analysis of the rapidly evolving issue of high performance concrete (HPC) by one of the field's major researchers. It covers every area of HPC, from materials and characteristics to building and testing. The book will be useful for all concrete technologists & construction engineers who want to take use of the material's excellent characteristics.
Inspection and Other Strategies for Assuring Quality in Government Construction
This book reports on the costs, effectiveness, and risks associated with agency and private sector inspection practices. It provides advice to senior and mid-level agency managers on the relative merits of alternative strategies in the range of projects typically encountered in federal construction programs.
