Materials and Structures in Cold Regions: The Impact of Low Temperatures on Construction Materials and the Structural Behaviour of Structural Members is based on the latest research undertaken at Tianjin University, P.R. China and National University of Singapore. The book provides detailed experimental research on the influences of low temperatures on the mechanical properties of constructional materials and structural behavior of typical structural members at low temperatures, e.g., beams, columns, and walls. The theoretical and numerical models in the book on structural members at low temperatures simplifies and provides guidelines for structural engineers working on cold-region projects.The book blends the fundamental development of concepts with the practical specification of materials and structures at low temperatures.- Provides detailed experimental research on the influence of low temperatures on the mechanical properties of constructional materials, and structural behavior of typical structural members at low temperatures, e.g., beams, columns, and walls- Covers fundamental development of concepts, with the practical specification of materials and structures at low temperatures- Presents the latest research, undertaken at Tianjin University, P.R. China and the National University of Singapore, Singapore

This book is a comprehensive introduction to supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) concepts, including its singular flow and heat transfer characteristics, the basic principles of sCO2 power systems, and related challenges and solutions. It also explores how to expand to multi-energy complementary systems based on CO2’s unique properties and introduces the latest research progress. The relevant energy technologies mentioned in this book use CO2 as a medium to reduce carbon emissions in the energy sector, which can help in achieving carbon neutrality worldwide. Supercritical CO2 Power Cycles and Related Energy Systems is an important power and energy engineering reference for students, engineers, and scientists in energy, environmental, and chemical fields. It is also an excellent primer for those in other fields who need a basic understanding of sCO2 power systems.Presents the unique properties of supercritical CO2;Covers novel supercritical CO2 power systems and implementation methods;Explains reducing carbon emissions with carbon dioxide.
