Partially prestressed concrete offers several advantages over fully prestressed designs. However, design codes have been slow to adopt provisions for the design of partially prestressed concrete because of concerns over fatigue and corrosion. The...

Vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM), one of a commonly used composite manufacturing processes, is becoming more popular. To optimize the manufacturing process, reduce costs, and maintain consistent part quality, knowledge of mold filling,...

This book describes a comprehensive approach to identify and deal with real options "in" projects, that is, those real options (flexibility) that are integral parts of the technical design. It attempts to specify analytically the design parameters that...

The FAA and the DFW airport had proposed a Perimeter Taxiway (PT) system to improve runway safety and reduce runway incursions. The PT is analyzed utilizing actual flight data from the FAA and DFW database for 2004. An estimate was made for air traffic...

This book deals with the design and control of hydraulic systems and using the system components signature as an input to control the system pump and monitoring the health of the system in real time environment. The book starts with listing some problems...

During continuous casting of steel, the delta-ferrite to austenite phase transition occurs following solidification. It is of great industrial significance to gain a better understanding of the nature of this reaction because product quality is in large...

Today, operating figures not only provide information about the performance of a company, because they rather act as instruments for management, controlling up to motivation. They therefore need to be embedded in the company’s strategy. Traditional...

The Full Course RCT book will help you avoid the trial-and-error approach to chassis setup. It will teach you sound, proven technology that is both easy to understand and easy to use, so you can set up your race car in the shop and see the positive...
