High-Strength Concrete: A Practical Guide
High-Strength Concrete: A Practical Guide
This practical book from a highly experienced author presents clearly the means and methods for designing, producing and using high-strength concrete. High-strength concrete offers many benefits. Higher compressive strengths allow for a reduction in the cross-sectional dimensions of columns and walls in buildings. Its greater stiffness allows for...

Hydraulic Structures
Hydraulic Structures
The main aim of the book, i.e. to provide a text for final year undergraduate and for postgraduate students, remains the same as for the previous two editions; we also hope that researchers, designers and operators of the many types of structures covered in the book will continue to find the text of interest and a stimulating, up-to-date reference...
Modelling Methods for Energy in Buildings
Modelling Methods for Energy in Buildings
Climate change mitigation and sustainable practices are now at the top of political and technical agendas. Environmental system modelling provides a way of appraising options and this book will make a significant contribution to the uptake of such systems. It provides knowledge of the principles involved in modelling systems, builds confidence...

Acoustic Diffusers and Absorbers: Theory, Design and Application
Acoustic Diffusers and Absorbers: Theory, Design and Application
Every book tells a story and there is a story behind every book. This story begins in 1980, in the conference room of the laboratory for the structure of matter at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, where Peter D’Antonio was employed as a diffraction physicist. Knowing Peter’s interest in music, a colleague handed...
Lasers in the Preservation of Cultural Heritage: Principles and Applications (Optics and Optoelectronics)
Lasers in the Preservation of Cultural Heritage: Principles and Applications (Optics and Optoelectronics)
The book … describes how laser parameters associated with cleaning are chosen and the physics involved in various surface ablation processes. Key conservation practices are also addressed, such as removal of black encrustation from stone, varnish from paintings, and the laser cleaning of metals and paper. It details the use and benefit of...

The Data Book of Astronomy
The Data Book of Astronomy
The Solar System consists of one star (the Sun), the nine principal planets, their satellites and lesser bodies such as asteroids, comets and meteoroids, plus a vast amount of thinly-spread interplanetary matter. The Sun contains more than 99% of the mass of the system, and Jupiter is more massive than all the other planets combined. The centre of...
Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels (Applied Geotechnics)
Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels (Applied Geotechnics)
Practising engineers on site, in the design office or in client organizations will find this book an excellent introduction to the design and construction of sprayed concrete lined (SCL) tunnels. The complex behaviour of the early age behaviour of the sprayed concrete requires careful management. This book covers all aspects of SCL tunnelling -...
Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light (Second Edition)
Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light (Second Edition)
Since it was first published in 1995, Photonic Crystals has remained the definitive text for both undergraduates and researchers on photonic band-gap materials and their use in controlling the propagation of light. This newly expanded and revised edition covers the latest developments in the field, providing the most up-to-date, concise,...
Understanding Architecture Through Drawing
Understanding Architecture Through Drawing
Here is philosophy of science the way it should be. In these pages some of the very best philosophers working today grapple with the big issues of metaphysics, language, and epistemology as they relate to science. This volume is a true introduction to a
