Continued interest in the region since the events of 9/11 make this volume highly suitable for courses on South Asian studies, international relations and political Islam.

This book details the analysis and design of high rise buildings for gravity and seismic analysis.

Reinforced concrete structures exposed to aggressive environments such as severe chloride attack coupled with high temperature suffer from accelerated corrosion.

Three people can keep a secret only if two of them are dead! Benjamin Franklin Quotes such as these are very common. Keeping secret is not an easy task. In fact it is a human nature to share secrets to every other person.

Experimental work presented in the graphical form and computer models in the book based on excel sheet proposed on the collected data. Proper solutions are proposed in the book to improve the air quality in these cities.

This book unveils the effects of various environmental conditions namely; chloride, temperature, oxygen, carbonation and moisture on the corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete through extensive experimentation and modeling for the ...

The objective of this book is therefore, to investigate the effects of coupling chloride and temperature on corrosion of reinforcement throughout the life of concrete structures by incorporating realistic electrochemical-thermodynamic ...

The unprecedented development has consequently brought many requirements for fulfilling the need of air travel. The aim of this book is to propose a design of a runway of international capacity for a city.
