| Civil Engineering/General Civil Engineering References | Progress in Industrial and Civil Engineering II | 12/5/2013 | However, because the cement soil tends to be used in the pits anti-seepage, embankment impermeable walls, and bears the erosion and seepage of groundwater, it is particularly important to evaluate how the groundwater seepage will affect the cement soil physical and mechanical parameters and how long the cement soil engineering will be in use. The correlation coefficient of them is 0.45. if we only take part of good samples into consideration ,the result will be 0.69, which prove the hypothesis that grading has remarkable correlation with maximum dry density . In practical engineering, only by the means of grading’s features obtained from screening test, can we estimate the maximum dry density through the established neural network model.

| Civil Engineering/Construction Materials | Structural Concrete: Theory and Design – 5th Edition | دانلود کتاب خارجی | 2012 | The main objective of a course on structural concrete design is to develop, in the engineering student, the ability to analyze and design a reinforced concrete member subjected to different types of forces in a simple and logical manner using the basic principles of statistics and some empirical formulas based on experimental results. To enhance the student’s ability to use a total quality and economical approach in the design of concrete structures and to help the student to design reinforced concrete members with confidence. E. L. Ransome, head of the Concrete Steel Company in San Francisco, used reinforced concrete in 1879 and deformed bars for the first time in 1884. Also, design procedures for prestressed concrete were different from reinforced concrete. The low tensile capacity can be attributed to the high stress concentrations in concrete under load, so that a very high stress is reached in some portions of the specimen, causing microscopic cracks, while the other parts of the specimen are subjected to low stress. | |

| Civil Engineering/General Civil Engineering References | Lightweight Sandwich Construction | 2008 | Sandwich panels are being used increasingly as the cladding of buildings such as factories, warehouses, cold stores and retail sheds as they are light in weight, thermally efficient, aesthetically attractive and can be easily handled and erected.However, to date, an authoritative book on the subject has been lacking and this new reference work aims to fill that gap. | ||
| Civil Engineering/General Civil Engineering References | Loft Conversions | 2008 | The purpose of this book is to provide technical guidance on loft conversions in single family dwellings. Given the rapid development of loft conversion as a specialist activity in recent years, it is perhaps surprising that so little has been written about the subject. This chapter examines the influence of planning and other legal mechanisms on the loft conversion process. ‘Planning conditions’ (there is no other specific technical name for them) are used to remove permitted development rights and they are being used increasingly to restrict development such as loft conversions. Plans and sections: these should be to a scale not less than 1:100 and preferably 1:50 and provided not just for the conversion itself but for every other floor in the building. | ||
