Mineral Admixtures in Cement and Concrete

Mineral Admixtures in Cement and Concrete

Written to meet the requirements of engineers working in construction and concrete manufacturing Mineral Admixtures in Cement and Concrete focuses on how to make more workable and durable concrete using mineral admixtures. In particular it covers pulverized fuel ash (PFA) blast furnace slag (BFS) silica fume (SF) rice husk ash (RHA) and metakaolin (MK) as well as some new admixtures currently under investigation. For each mineral admixture the book looks at manufacturing and processing physical characteristics chemical and mineralogical composition quality control and reported experiences. It also examines the provisions of national standards on the admixture’s addition to cement and concrete. References to microstructures and chemistry are kept to a minimum and only discussed to the extent necessary to help readers apply the admixtures in practice. The book also addresses hydration presenting the relevant chemistry and detailing the impact of adding mineral admixtures to concrete. A chapter on strength and durability explains the mechanisms models and standards related to concrete deterioration and how to mitigate carbonation alkali-aggregate reactions chloride attack and corrosion of reinforcement external and internal sulphate attack decalcification and freeze-thaw action. This book is a useful reference for practicing engineers and students alike. It brings together in one volume information on the materials hydration and the strength and durability of cement and concrete with mineral admixtures. Offering a deeper understanding of mineral admixtures it encourages engineers to more effectively use these and other wastes in cement and concrete to support more sustainable growth of the cement and construction industry.

Polarimetric SAR Imaging Theory and Applications

Polarimetric SAR Imaging Theory and Applications

Radar polarimetry has been highly sought after for its use in the precise monitoring of Earth's surface. Polarimetric SAR Imaging explains the basic concepts of polarimetry and its diverse applications including: deforestation tree classification landslide detection tsunamis volcano eruptions and ash distribution snow accumulation rice field monitoring urban area exploration ship detection among other applications. The explanations use actual data sets taken by Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS and ALOS2). With the increasing problems presented by climate change there is a growing need for detailed earth observation using polarimetric data. As the treatment of vector nature of radar waves is complex there is a gap between the theory and the application. Polarimetric SAR Imaging: Theory and Applications addresses and fills this gap. Features: Provides cutting-edge polarimetric applications for earth observation with full color images. Includes detailed descriptions of theory equations expansions and flowcharts and numerous real examples. Explains concepts data analysis and applications in simple and clear language aimed at an intuitive comprehension. Provides specific and unique examples of PolSAR images derived from actual space and airborne systems (ALOS/ALOS2 PiSAR-x/L) Covers the wide range of the radar polarimetry especially the decomposition of the polarimetry data an original method developed by the author using the Japanese polarimetric SAR data Illustrated in full color using images generated by polarimetric techniques this book is easy to understand and use for both student and expert and is an excellent resource both in the classroom and in the field. | Polarimetric SAR Imaging Theory and Applications

Modern Land Drainage Planning Design and Management of Agricultural Drainage Systems

Modern Land Drainage Planning Design and Management of Agricultural Drainage Systems

Modern Land Drainage 2nd edition is a fully revised and updated edition of the 2004 edition. Modern Land Drainage describes traditional drainage formulas (Hooghoudt Kirkham Donnan Ernst Glover-Dumm) for rainfed agriculture in the humid temperature zone. Significant parts are devoted to drainage for salinity control of irrigated land in (semi-) arid zones and to drainage of rice land in the humid tropics. Institutional management and maintenance aspects are extensively covered as well as the mitigation of adverse impacts of drainage interventions on the environment. The latest computer applications for drainage design in the context of integrated water management are described (DRAINMOD HEC SWAP etc. ). Field surveys are executed by governments with the aid of consultants but rarely are the end stakeholders (i. e. farmers and general public) involved from inception to planning to execution of a drainage system. Yet during the Operation Management and Maintenance (OMM) phase of a water management system they are expected to takeover run bear and be responsible for the costs of OMM. The book describes successful methodologies and processes to be followed for engagement of stakeholders at all levels from government to farm from minister to farmer and from beginning to end. The book covers all aspects needed for sustainable drainage. The latest survey methodologies with satellites and drones are suggested to assess cause and effect. Waterlogging and salinity are the effect of something caused most likely upstream of the drainage problem location. Hence treating the cause may be more cost-effective. Triple Bottom Line (social environmental and financial considerations) and the water-food-energy nexus are an integral part of the drainage design process. Controlled drainage i. e. the balance of removal and conservation of drainage water and minimising solute transport as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA principle) is extensively described. This work is intended for use both as a university level textbook and as a professional handbook; it is of particular value to professionals engaged in drainage development in the context of integrated water resources and river basin management civil and agricultural engineers government officials university students and libraries. | Modern Land Drainage Planning Design and Management of Agricultural Drainage Systems
