This work gives an overview of significant research from recent years concerning performance-based design and quality control for concrete durability and its implementation. In engineering practice; performance approaches are often still used in combination with prescriptive requirements. This is largely because; for most durability test methods; sufficient practical experience still has to be gained before engineers and owners are prepared to fully rely on them.This book; compiled by RILEM TC 230-PSC; is intended to assist efforts to successfully build the foundation for the full implementation of performance-based approaches through the exchange of relevant knowledge and experience between researchers and practitioners worldwide.

Zen Chants. by Kaz TanahashiBy Zen ElderKaz Tanahashis Zen Chants provides the meanings and some history of the Japanese and Sanskrit words in the more common Zen chants that have been translated over the years. He also offers his own and other modern translations and even suggests finding ones own translations for meal chants. etc. Just rethinking them with different words is helpful. for example. exchanging the phrase. "May all beings realize the Buddha Way." with "May all beings realize the Awakened Way." broadens the outlook. One of my "keep handy" books.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A KeeperBy Todd M. SteedThis is a great and useful collection. The chants are now posted online. I would have rather had a CD with the chants because I suspect that link will one day not work.Particularly helpful are reworked versions of some of the chants that bring a nice new depth to them. This is a book Ill keep around as long as Im around. After that. who knows?1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
