Thermal Analysis is a well-established set of techniques for obtaining qualitative and quantitative information about the effects of various heat treatments on materials of all kinds, including new chemical compounds, plastics, ceramics, alloys, construction materials, minerals, foods and medicines. Heating is performed under strictly controlled conditions and can reveal changes in structure and other important properties of the material being studied. Such studies are of great practical importance in the use of materials....

It is not like a skyscraper or huge bridges, sea dykes is thousands kilometer long, use billions cubic meter of construction materials. By saving a little unit cost of cross section, those can save huge money. In almost cases, local soil does not meet technical requirements to fill dyke body, as well as loading capacity of foundation. In some places, the height of dyke can not bigger 2m. That’s why apply advanced technologies in design and execution are very important to make a strong sea dyke in the manner of technique and financial.

Concrete is an ancient material of construction, first used during the Roman Empire, which extended from about 20 B.C. to 200 A.D. The word concrete is derived from the Roman concretus, meaning to grow together. Although this early mixture was made with lime, cement, and a volcanic ash material called pozzolana, concrete today is a sophisticated material to which exotic constitutents can be added and, with computer-controlled batching, can produce a product capable of achieving 50,000 psi compressive strength....

Congratulations! You are about to embark on an adventure. This book is about the processes, the people, and the practices that we call construction management—a term and a profession that may be unfamiliar to many people. Construction, as most individuals understand it, is an activity or a series of activities that involves some craftspeople, building materials, tools, and equipment. But you will learn that there is a great deal more to it than that.

The ability to create intelligent machines has intrigued humans since ancient times, and today with the advent of the computer and 50 years of research into AI programming techniques, the dream of smart machines is becoming a reality. Researchers are creating systems, which can mimic human beings. Accurate mathematical models neither always exist nor can they be derived for all complex environments because the domain may not be thoroughly understood. The solution consists of constructing rules that apply when input values lie within certain designer-defined categories....

Through the efforts of a wide array of public and private organizations around the globe, a strong and growing movement is beginning the process of transforming the systems that create the built environment from ones that pay no attention to resources and the environment to a new variety in which these considerations are the pre-eminent criteria for “good” construction. Although dating back only to the early 1990s, there is already ample evidence that the “green building” movement is affecting the design, construction, operation, and disposal of the built environment....

Many pavements, which are considered to be structurally sound after the construction of an overlay, prematurely exhibit a cracking pattern similar to that which existed in the underlying pavement. This propagation of an existing crack pattern, from discontinuities in the old pavement, into and through a new overlay is known as reflective cracking. Reflective cracks destroy surface continuity, decrease structural strength, and allow water to enter sublayers. Thus, the problems that weakened the old pavement are extended up into the new overlay.
