The development of NDT (non-destructive testing) techniques used for the inspection of concrete structures is currently in high demand; because many existing structures have become aged and deteriorated in service. In order to formulate predictions on their stability and to estimate their safety; it is necessary to identify damage signals and to determine their causes. In this regard; the development and establishment of innovative and highly advanced non-destructive methods are required. Acoustic Emission (AE) and related NDE (non-destructive evaluation) techniques have been extensively used to determine crack detection and damage evaluation in concrete. With the move towards a more sustainable society; and the need to extend the long-term service life of infrastructure and aging and disastrous damage due to recent earthquakes; Acoustic Emission (AE) and Related Non-destructive Evaluation (NDE) Techniques in the Fracture Mechanics of Concrete: Fundamentals and Applications is a critical reference source for civil engineers; contractors working in construction and materials scientists working both in industry and academia.Presents innovative Acoustic Emission (AE) and related non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques; used for damage detection and inspection of aged and deteriorated concrete structuresContributions from recognized world-leaders in the application of acoustic emission (AE) and NDE techniques used for the damage assessment of concrete and concrete structuresWith the move towards a more sustainable society; and the need to extend the long-term service life of infrastructure and damage due to recent earthquakes; this book is of critical importanceAn essential knowledge resource for civil engineers; contractors working in construction and materials scientists working both in industry and academia

I have already learned; in just 38 pages of this book; a tremendous amount more of easy to understand information about this superb but complex camera than in the 3 weeks of the owners manual and the U-tube tutorials. I am totally pleased.7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. David Busch simply writes the best guide books out thereBy VikingDavid Busch simply writes the best guide books out there. I bought his book for my first good camera (a Sony SLT A-33) and my second (a Sony DCS RX 100MII) and I found his books to be well organized; well-written and very easy to understand. I got a little impatient waiting for his book on the Sony Alpha 77 II) so I "left the reservation" and got someone elses book. All I can say is that I wasted my money. I bought Buschs book the day it came out and alls right with the world again. If you want an intelligently written; well-organized guide book; look no further.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An absolute must have!By CustomerVery thorough and well written. Ive had two a77separate for several years now. All this time; I never knew of their true potential.This book is an absolute must have!
