9780408042451: Life of Structures: Physical Testing

Synopsis

From an international seminar held during 1989, 51 papers discuss the physical testing of full large scale buildings and their elements, and the subsequent modelling of life-time environments as an approach to support a method of predicting the life span of an existing building being considered for renovation or a new building being designed. Among the contributors are experts in actions on structures and the performance of existing populations of structures, the properties and performance of building materials, and the internal and external environments of buildings. Topics include the basic principles of design and assessment, structural environments, materials and test methods, nuclear and special structures, bridges, and the performance of populations of structures. For structural and civil engineers and materials scientists. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
