Concrete and Masonry
Training CD
Over 300+ pages covering all
aspects of concrete and masonry training on one CD-Rom! There are a total of
six separate guides in all; Concrete and
Masonry, Standard Practice for Concrete for
Civil Works Structures, Grouting
Technology, Roller-Compacted
Concrete, Construction Print
Reading, and Architectural
Concrete.
This fully illustrated guide is packed with diagrams, tables, and charts and is a great learning tool and reference CD. Anyone interested in learning more about concrete, masonry, or grouting will find this guide extremely useful and a priceless educational asset!
Concrete and Masonry
This manual is primarily a training guide and reference for engineer
personnel using concrete and masonry materials in field construction. It has
two parts: Concrete (Part I) and Masonry (Part 2).
Part One covers the physical characteristics,
properties, and ingredients of concrete; mixtures, design and construction
of forms; and with reinforced concrete and field construction
procedures.
Part Two addresses the
mason"s tool and equipment as well as the physical characteristics and
properties of concrete blocks, bricks, and structural clay tiles. It further
explains construction procedures and methods for these masonry units.
Standard
Practice for Concrete for Civil Works Structures
This manual provides information
and guidance for the investigation and selection of concrete materials for civil
works concrete structures. Elements discussed include designs studies and
reports, preparation of contract plans and specifications, construction
preparation, and concrete construction quality verification. Emphasis is placed
on the problems of concrete for hydraulic structures. Roller-compacted concrete,
shotcrete, rigid pavement, architectural concrete, and concrete for repairs are
not included.
Structural design of precast and prestressed concrete for
offsite prefabricated construction of hydraulic structures is also discussed.
This manual provides interim guidance for structural engineers in the design
and construction of precast and prestressed hydraulic concrete structures.
The primary emphasis is on float-in and lift-in type structures.
Grouting Technology
This manual provides technical criteria and guidance for civil
works grouting applications. Information on procedures, materials, and
equipment for use in planning and executing a grouting project is included, and
types of problems that might be solved by grouting are discussed. Methods of
grouting that have proven to be effective are described and various types of
grouts and their proportions are listed.
Roller-Compacted Concrete
The purpose of this manual is to provide information and guidance
on the use of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) in darns and other civil works
structures. This manual does not cover RCC for pavements. Elements discussed
include investigation techniques, inspection, and performance.
Construction Print Reading
Construction print reading is a key skill for technical
students. Fortunately, a formal education is not essential for achieving
proficiency in this important subject; the study of correspondence courses such
as on this CD can provide the essential skills.
Architectural Concrete
This manual provides guidance for the design and construction of
architectural concrete, including planning and design, forms, materials and
proportions, batching and transporting, placement, curing and form removal,
exposed aggregate surfaces, finishing, and quality assurance.
