This book, a review of the latest trends in the development, properties research, and production of green concrete, contains articles published by Trans Tech Publications Ltd. in the last few years. The edition will be helpful and interesting to a broad audience of specialists in the concrete production and construction industry.
This book represents the selected papers from the 28th Concrete Days held May 19-20, 2022, in Prague, Czech Republic. It comprises the results of scientific investigation and engineering solutions in the area of construction and is focused on the properties of various modern concrete and concrete structures.
The reader will find in the book the analysis of the properties and behaviour of concrete, various admixtures, building composites and other materials, as well as studies of various building structures with metal and composite elements, their mechanical properties and fatigue and damage processes. Some issues of technical supervision and sustainable development in the construction sector are also observed. This book will be helpful not only to engineers but also to academic researchers and students involved in activities related to the construction industry.
The 46th volume of the journal "Advanced Engineering Forum" contains papers that present the research results on properties of carbon fibre reinforced metal matrix composite and multiwalled carbon nanotubes nanocomposite, conditions of mass and heat transfer under nanofluid by numerical modelling, strength properties and microstructure of sandcrete blocks incorporated with maize straws. The volume also describes the optimal control strategy for energy management of PV-diesel-battery hybrid power system of a stand-alone micro-grid and analyses the thermal and emission performance of in-house developed natural and forced draft metal biomass cookstoves. The analysis of the possibility of implementing the system of qualification and certification of the inspection personnel in the welding field will be also interesting to readers. The professionals, students and scientific investigators working in the various engineering fields will find this volume of value.
Fibers and fabrics are currently often used as a reinforcing element in the production of various composite materials, which are often used in mechanical engineering and in the construction sector. A separate chapter is devoted to textile reinforcing materials.
Environmental problems in textile production are mainly related to the dyeing process and the chemical treatment of fabrics and fibers. Some aspects of textile dyeing and wastewater treatment processes are also discussed in this publication.
The research results and real engineering developments in the field of modern technical textiles are presented to readers in this contribution. Smart textile, specific features of fabrics based on conductive polymers, use of special yarn coating for functionalisation of knitted fabric, the improvement of the textile thermal isolation properties, and composite reinforcing by textile materials are some topics of this book.
This volume of "International Journal of Engineering Research in Africa" collects peer-reviewed manuscripts reflecting the research results in the fields of composite materials with biobased reinforcements, the technology of hydroforming of sheet metal, power engineering and power control, technologies of the smart grid and microgrid, wastewater treatment, building materials and geotechnical engineering, fluid mechanics and heat transfer in the solar air heating system. The majority of engineers, academics, and students majoring in engineering science will appreciate this collection.
This volume of papers introduces readers to the latest research and achievements from the 5th World Sustainable Construction Conference (WSCC 2021, 15th and 16th October 2021, online). Collected articles present scientific research and engineering design results in the area of building materials and advanced technologies for roads and civil constructions.
The volume will be helpful and exciting for many engineers and researchers engaged in developing and researching materials in construction. This volume contains selected peer-reviewed full text papers presented at the 13th International Conference on Contemporary Problems of Architecture and Construction (ICCPAC), October 6-8, 2021, Yerevan, Armenia.
The 4th International Conference on Bio-Based Building Materials (ICBBM 2021, 16-18 June 2021, Barcelona, Spain) has become established as a leading forum of Scientists across a broad range of disciplines related to the application of bio-based composites and natural materials in modern construction practice.
