Aluminous Cements
These are prepared by fusing a mixture of aluminous and calcareous materials (usually bauxite and limestone) and grinding the resultant product […]
Aluminum-Alloy Designations
The alloys may be classified: (1) as cast and wrought, and (2) as heat-treatable and non-heat-treatable. Wrought alloys can be worked
Aluminum and aluminum based alloys
Pure aluminum and aluminum alloys are used in buildings in various forms. Highpurity aluminum (at least 99% pure) is soft and

Analysis and Design of One-Way Slabs
Structural strength, fire resistance, crack control, and deflections of one-way slabs must be satisfactory under service loads. Strength and Deflections. Approximate
Analysis and Design of Flat Plates
The flat plate is the simplest form of two-way slab simplest for analysis, design, detailing, bar fabrication and placing, and formwork.
Alternating-Current Systems
Any change in flow of current, such as that which occurs in alternating current, produces a magnetic field around the wire.
