Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) uses prefabricated elements to reduce on-site construction time and traffic disruptions. This book examines ABC for short-span bridges, covering decision-making, systems, inspection methods, and a complete design example.
Drawing on 31 years of experience, this book guides readers in designing safe and cost-effective structures. It includes numerical examples in both SI and US units for components like beams, columns, slabs, and shear walls, plus considerations for dynamic loads like earthquakes.
High-Temperature, Drying Shrinkage, and Environmental Impact Assessment of Alkali-Activated Concrete
This book explores Alkali-activated Concrete (AAC), a sustainable substitute for Portland cement. It focuses on AAC’s long-term performance advantages, addressing uncertainties and offering practical recommendations to pave the way for its wider use in construction.
