DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The need to properly assess the condition of the roof system is critical from an environmental and monetary point of view. The visual and physical inspection of the roof is the first step in deciding whether to repair, replace or recover the system. This information is required to properly budget and manage resources. Additionally, it would help the environment by reducing the amount of material sent to landfills. Every country has its own standards and all practitioners have their own approach to the assessment. This report attempts to provide a guideline for the assessment of low-slope roof systems. A flowchart for the assessment is presented. Use of this flowchart to carry out inspections should help minimize incorrect actions such as needlessly replacing roofs. Moreover, different test methods and standards are offered from various countries. This report is geared towards individuals who are involved in the roofing industry and who have a general understanding of condition assessment. The flowchart, standards, and test procedures mentioned in this document are presented as a resource for reference purposes. All decisions as to the use of the flowchart, test methods and interpretation of any data are to be based on professional knowledge and expertise.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This volume comprises the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Calcined Clays for Sustainable Concrete held in New Delhi, India in October 2019. The papers cover topics related to geology of clay, hydration and performance of blended systems with calcined clays, alkali activated binders, and economic and environmental impacts of the use of calcined clays in cement-based materials. The book presents research on influence of processing on reactivity of calcined clays, influence of clay mineralogy on reactivity, geology of clay deposits, and the environmental impact of use of calcined clays in cement and concrete and field applications of calcined clay in concrete. Apart from giving an overview of the progress of research during the last two years, this work also covers the state-of-the art on the practical aspects of production and use of calcined clays in construction. The contents of this volume will prove useful to researchers and graduate students working in the areas of cement chemistry, cement production, and concrete design.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book presents the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 276-DFC: Digital fabrication with cement-based materials. The most important outcomes of the technical committee are presented. First, a unified process classification for digital fabrication with concrete is proposed, discussed and illustrated. Then, a state of the art of the testing methods (both at a material and structural level and in the fresh and hardened state) is provided. The gathered knowledge is expected to form the foundation of some quality control procedures for fresh properties along with hardened properties and service life performance. The book will benefit academics, practitioners, industry and standardization committees interested in digital fabrication with cement-based materials.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book presents a state of the art in mortar characterisation, experimentation with and applications of new mortars for conservation and repair of historic buildings. This volume includes the following topics: characterisation of historic mortars (methods, interpretation, application of results), development of new materials for conservation (compatibility, durability, mix designs), the history of mortar technology and fundamental experimental studies of material properties. The papers have been selected from those presented at the 3rd Historic Mortars Conference, held in Glasgow, Scotland, September 11-14th 2013. All the papers here underwent a two stage peer review process, for the conference and again for this volume. In some cases this has resulted in a revision and updating of content.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →By presenting the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 245-RTE, the book provides an overview of the existing techniques for the reinforcement of timber elements, joints and structures. It consists of two parts: part I examines state-of-the-art information on reinforcement techniques, summarizes the current status of standardization, and covers STS, GiR, FRP and nanotechnology. In part II several applications of reinforcement are discussed: these include traditional structures, traditional timber frame walls, light-frame shear walls, roofs, floors, and carpentry joints. The book will benefit academics, practitioners, industry and standardization committees interested in the reinforcement of existing timber elements, joints and structures.
