The MAT exam is one of the hardest intellectual challenges in the field of standardized testing. Students preparing to take this exam need a chance to practice the analogy skills necessary to score well on this test, which MAT For Dummies provides with its six full-length practice tests and plethora of other test preparation suggestions. MAT For Dummies includes test-specific analogy strategies, practice and review for each content area, word/terms lists covering the major subject categories, and six practice tests with detailed answer banks."--Title details screen.--For dummies.Miller analogies test for dummiesMiller analogies testStudy GuideMiller analogies testProblems, exercises, etcUniversities and collegesUnited StatesExaminationsMiller analogies testMiller analogies testUniversities and collegesExaminations.378.1662Kotchian Vince1825936Kotchian EdwinMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954016103321MAT for dummies4393883UNINA03535nam 22005895 450 991103156820332120251001130730.0981-9669-82-010.1007/978-981-96-6982-0(MiAaPQ)EBC32323566(Au-PeEL)EBL32323566(CKB)41528779900041(DE-He213)978-981-96-6982-0(OCoLC)1543219190(EXLCZ)994152877990004120251001d2025 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierGreen Concrete A Sustainable Construction Material /by Sushree Sunayana, Sudhirkumar V. Barai1st ed. 2025.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2025.1 online resource (257 pages)Springer Transactions in Civil and Environmental Engineering,2363-7641981-9669-81-2 Preface -- Acknowledgment -- Green Concrete Materials, Mixing, Mix Proportioning and Environmental Impact -- Introduction -- Properties of Green Concrete -- Structural Performance assessment -- Durability and long-term concrete properties.This book explores recycling and reusing construction wastes as alternative coarse aggregates and presents this as a possible solution for the major challenge of making sustainable concrete. It explores the reduction of cement use and the overcoming of some inferiorities in recycled coarse aggregate through the partial substitution of cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). The book evaluates the effect of low-volume SCMs (mainly fly ash) in 100% recycled coarse aggregate based concrete and comprehensively investigates this sustainable concrete for strength, safety, serviceability and sustainability. More specifically, this book discusses macro and microstructure properties, environmental impact assessment and performance of structural components. It explores the use of the particle packing mix design method (PPM) for concrete proportioning as it compensates lesser modulus of elasticity of RAC and is beneficial in lowering the environmental impact of concrete. Necessary modifications in mix design, mixing and design of concrete mixes are suggested to make this concrete safe for construction practice. It illustrates different mechanisms and results through figures, histograms, tables and experimental test pictures showing the failure pattern of structural elements and microstructure of concrete. Readers can get a clear understanding of the performance of this SCM incorporated RAC at various scales like micro, macro and structural components.Springer Transactions in Civil and Environmental Engineering,2363-7641ConcreteSustainable architectureComposite materialsConcreteSustainable Architecture/Green BuildingsCompositesConcrete.Sustainable architecture.Composite materials.Concrete.Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.Composites.691.3Sunayana Sushree1850285Barai Sudhirkumar V1850286MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911031568203321Green Concrete4443288UNINA
