Construction Engineering Advanced Polymer Concretes and Compounds Oleg Figovsky Polymate Ltd-International Nanotechnology Research Center, Migdal HaEmek, Israel
Dimitry Beilin Polymer concretes appear to offer many possibilities for producing new building materials with desired properties. This text explores the present state of the field, including applications, characteristics, durability, and environmental impact associated with polymer concretes. It focuses on two new polymers, namely rubber concrete based on polybutadiene binder (RubCon) and silicate polymer concrete based on organo-silicate binder (OSPC). It examines their physical, mechanical, and technological properties, their behavior upon exposure to harsh environmental factors, and the issues of durability and reliability.

Construction Program Management Joseph Delaney President and General Manager, CMS Delany Best Practices and Advances in Program Management Series
Although the construction industry is one of the largest enterprises in the United States, widely accepted management principles, such as those contained in PMI®’s Standard for Program Management are still not widely implemented. This book explores how an improved understanding of these principles could boost construction program success rates. It outlines a process-based approach to construction program management that leverages structure to bring order to what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming challenge. The book includes case studies that illustrate the proper implementation of the steps outlined in the book. Catalog no. K16673, July 2013, 199 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4665-7504-2, $79.95 / £49.99 Also available as an eBook
