Chengqing Wu,Jun Li: Development of Ultra-High Performance Concrete against Blasts : From Materials to Structures


Description
The rise of terrorism activities has promoted the fast development of new construction materials that can be used to enhance the resistance and resilience of buildings and infrastructures against blast loads. As a notable representative, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has now been widely investigated by government agencies and universities. UHPC inherits many positive aspects of ultra-high strength concrete (UHSC) and is equipped with improved ductility as a result of fibre addition. These features make it an ideal construction material for bridge decks, storage halls, thin-wall shell structures, and other infrastructure against seismic, impact and blast loads. Pioneering applications of this material are now being seen world-wide. A detailed overview of UHPC development and application is provided first. Succeeding chapters then present case studies on the novel development of the new generation UHPC with nano additives. To get an in-depth knowledge of the blast resistance performance of this novel UHPC material, field blast test results on reinforced concrete columns made with UHPC as well as the UHPC filled double-skin tubes columns are also required and compiled. The residual load-carrying capacities of blast-damaged structural members are also assessed in detail. The exceptional performance of novel UHPC materials illustrates its potential in protective structural design.
A bright, colourful picture book for very young children in which the reader helps Jasper choose how to spend his birthday money. Jasper plays with just about everything in the toyshop.

Each book includes educational tools alongside the text, enabling students and readers alike to gain a deeper and more developed understanding of the writer and their work. With a dash of the Victorian and Enlightenment influences that peppered Du Bois s impassioned yet formal prose, the largely autobiographical Questions and Answers on Death and Dying download PDF chapters of "The Souls of Black Folks "take the reader through the momentous and moody maze of Afro-American life after the Emancipation Proclamation: from poverty, the neo-slavery of the sharecropper, illiteracy, mis-education, and lynching, to the heights of humanity reached by the spiritual sorrow songs that birthed gospel music and the blues. The capstone of "The Souls of Black Folk" is Du Bois s haunting, eloquent description of the concept of the black psyche s double consciousness, which he described as a peculiar sensation....One ever feels this twoness an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. Enriched Classics enhance your engagement by introducing and explaining the historical and cultural significance of the work, the author s personal history, and what impact this book had on subsequent scholarship. Each book includes discussion questions that help clarify and reinforce major themes and reading recommendations for further research. Read with confidence."
