      Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Durability of Building Materials and Components, Volume I contains the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Durability of Building Materials and Components held in Singapore on November 4-6, 1987. The conference provided a forum for reviewing advances that have been made with regards to the durability of building materials and components and tackled topics ranging from concrete materials and structures to fiber-reinforced concrete, plastics, surface coatings, and building codes and specifications. Comprised of 67 chapters, this volume first summarizes the technical barriers to service life prediction and outlines research directions for overcoming such barriers. The discussion then turns to the deterioration of slate tiles containing iron sulfides; prediction of durability of building sealants; and the durability of building ceramics in agricultural environments. Subsequent chapters focus on the influence of seawater curing on the pore structure of flyash blended cement mortar; effect of cement composition on the durability of natural fibers in mortar; permeability control of concrete protective layers in products; and theory and experimental evidence concerning maximum and minimum strength of composite materials. The applications of surface integral techniques to fracture analysis are also considered. This book will be of interest to practitioners and research workers in engineering.

      The field of nonlinear fiber optics has grown substantially since the First Edition of Nonlinear Fiber Optics, published in 1989. Like the First Edition, this Second Edition is a comprehensive, tutorial, and up-to-date account of nonlinear optical phenomena in fiber optics. It synthesizes widely scattered research material and presents it in an accessible manner for students and researchers already engaged in or wishing to enter the field of nonlinear fiber optics. Particular attention is paid to the importance of nonlinear effects in the design of optical fiber communication systems. This is a completely new book containing either new sections or major revisions in every chapter.

      Wind Engineering is a compendium of papers from the Fifth International Conference on Wind Engineering held in Colorado, USA, on July 8-14, 1979. Papers discuss the social and economic impact of wind storms, particularly the need for improvement in decision making in building construction, development of design and construction criteria for low-income housing. Other papers describe snow-management and microzonation studies to quantify, with better precision, the probabilities used in decision models. Some papers describe localized wind environments and wind loading (fluctuating internal, fluctuating external). Other papers analyze the dynamic response of tall buildings and towers, such as in crosswinds, wind direction, alongwind, and wind action with interference effects from similar surrounding buildings. Experiments show that by properly modeling a structure in a boundary layer wind tunnel, the investigator can obtain results which are dynamically fully comparable to a full scale situation. Another paper discusses the recommendations of the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork in calculating the wind effects on buildings and structures. The compendium can be appreciated by environmentalist, civil engineers, structural engineers, architects, physicists, students and professors of meteorology.
