Building Code Requirements for Concrete Thin Shells (ACI 318.2-14) Commentary on Building Code Requirements for Concrete Thin Shells (ACI 318.2R-14) 1

Building Code Requirements for Concrete Thin Shells (ACI 318.2-14) Commentary on Building Code Requirements for Concrete Thin Shells (ACI 318.2R-14)

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description For types of shell structures where experience, tests, and analyses have shown that the structure can sustain reasonable overloads without undergoing brittle failure, elastic analysis is an acceptable procedure. In such cases, it may be assumed that reinforced concrete is ideally elastic, homogeneous, and isotropic, having identical properties in all directions. An analysis should […]

Compaction of Roller-Compacted Concrete

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) has become an accepted material for constructing dams and pavements, rehabilitating and modifying existing concrete dams, and providing over-flow protection of embankment dams and spillways. Its pro-duction provides a rapid method of concrete construction similar in principle to soil-cement and other earthwork construction. RCC technology developed considerably in the1980s, after early

Report on Behavior of Fresh Concrete During Vibration

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description At the turn of the twentieth century, concrete was generally placed as very dry mixtures, and was deposited in thin lifts and rammed into place by heavy tampers, which involved extensive manual labor. Typical structures, such as foundations ,retaining walls, and dams, contained little or no reinforcement. The concept of rammed concrete in thin
