Sommario/riassunto

This volume focuses on the experience of growing old as it is linked to societal factors. Ryff and Marshall construct this ""macro"" view of aging in society by bridging disciplines and brining together contributors from all the social sciences.

Sommario/riassunto

Advances in Concrete Slab Technology documents the proceedings of the International Conference on Concrete Slabs held at Dundee University on April 3-6, 1979. This book discusses the influence of steel fiber-reinforcement on the shear strength of slab-column connections; sulfur-treated concrete slabs; yield line analysis of orthotropicaly reinforced exterior panels of flat slab floors; and behavior of flat slab/edge column joints. The design of multiple panel flat slab structures; structural behavior of floor slabs in shear wall buildings; shrinkage and cracking of concrete at early ages; and
