Sustainability of Life Cycle Management for Nuclear Cementation-Based Technologies, edited by Dr. Rahman and Dr. Ojovan, presents the latest knowledge and research on the management of cementitious systems within nuclear power plants. The book covers aging, development and updates on regulatory frameworks on a global scale, the development of cementitious systems for the immobilization of problematic wastes, and the decommissioning and decontamination of complex cementitious systems. The book's editors and their team of experts combine their practical knowledge to provide the reader with a thorough understanding on the sustainability of lifecycle management of cementitious systems within the nuclear industry. Sections provide a comparative tool that presents national regulations concerning cementitious systems within nuclear power plants, check international and national evaluation results of the sustainability of different systems, help in the development of performance test procedures, and provide a guide on aging nuclear power plants and the long-term behavior of these systems in active and passive safety environments. - Presents the latest information on the behavior of different cementitious systems used in the nuclear industry in one comprehensive resource - Includes scientific justifications of system behavior during the design, operation, maintenance and decommissioning phases - Aids the reader in the development of evaluation tests for problematic wastes

This book is prepared according to the 2011 ACI Code for buildings and AASHTO LRFD Specifications for bridges. The units used throughout the presentation are the SI units according to the official system of units in Pakistan. As in Part-I of the same series of books, it is tried that the three main phases of structural design, namely load determination, design calculations and detailing together are introduced to the beginner. Besides reinforced concrete design, basics of formwork design, plain concrete properties and repair / rehabilitation of concrete structures are also presented. This book is useful with the 1st part of the same book. Suggestions for further improvement of the presentation will be highly appreciated and will be incorporated in the future editions.

This new handbook fills the need for in-depth coverage of concrete construction engineering and technology. It features discussions on what design engineers and contractors need to know about concrete materials and systems - one of the most versatile materials available. The Concrete Construction Engineering Handbook focuses on these important topics:
