Structural Integrity of RCC Modular Concrete Structure

Structural Design Using the Roller-compacted Concrete (rcc) Construction Process

This Engineer Technical Letter (ETL) discusses the special problem areas and concerns related to RCC construction in order to assure that the concrete properties required are ultimately realized in the completed structure. A quality RCC product requires a coordinated effort between the structural designer, the materials engineer, the materials laboratory, and those responsible for field quality...

Structural integrity monitoring of onshore wind turbine concrete foundations

Structural Integrity and Moral Integrity

As engineers, a confliction readily appears in regards to cost efficiency against quality. Civil Engineer A of Peace Corps was assigned the task of the design and building of a desalination though electrodialysis plant in rural Uttar Pradesh, India. Desalination is the process of removing high salt contents from groundwater in order to render it drinkable. Of the total volume of water on Earth,...

Acoustifc Emission for Structural Integrity of Concrete from Fresh to Damaged

Applications of acoustic emission (AE) to structural integrity of concrete are summarized, dealing with both fresh and hardened concrete. Under mixing concrete, AE activity is applied to estimate the consistency. After hardened, in a uniaxial compression test, AE activity is modeled by the rate process theory and is correlated with the damage degree. For inspection of reinforced concrete (RC) m...
