High-Performance Concrete Carpet: A New Concept of Concrete Pavement

SP-228: 7th Intl Symposium on the Utilization of High-Strength/High-Performance Concrete, 2005
LCPC (Central Laboratory for Roads and Bridges, a French public research laboratory) has been developing a new concept of concrete pavement of five years. It is based on the following ideas: (1) High-performance concrete shows unique qualities with regard to pavement applications, like high tensile strength, durability, freeze-thaw resistance, abrasion

Concretizing the concept of social stress

Journal of Social Distress and the Homeless, 1992
The concept of social stress, as adapted from Selye's work on biology, is insufficient to explain psychological functioning. To be useful, social stress must include enduring social practices characteristic of particular social systems that violate socially generated as well as biological needs.

Making behaviour a concrete architectural concept

Proceedings of the 32nd Annual Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences. 1999. HICSS-32. Abstracts and CD-ROM of Full Papers, 2003
A practical approach is presented to making behaviour a concrete, first-class architectural concept. The approach overcomes the forest-tree problem that results when the only way of understanding behaviour in relation to the organizational aspect of architecture is in terms of sequences of inter-component interactions that emerge at run time (calls ...

Performance of BFS concrete: k-Value concept versus equivalent performance concept

Construction and Building Materials, 2013
Abstract Focusing on sustainability, the use of industrial by-products as cement replacing materials has become a common tendency and we are still trying to increase the replacement level without negatively affecting and even with the aim to improve some of the concrete’s properties (e.g. compressive strength, workability and durability).

New concepts in polymer concrete insulation

Proceedings., Second International Conference on Properties and Applications of Dielectric Materials, 2003
The author deals with polymer-concrete insulation, a technically viable, low-cost alternative to energy-intensive porcelain for high-voltage electrical applications both indoors and outdoors. He briefly describes the advances in polymer-concrete insulation made to date and presents new concepts for further utilizing this versatile material ...

Using abstractions to make concepts concrete

Proceedings of the 36th SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education, 2005
As instructors we work hard at teaching our students why and how to create appropriate abstractions in order to simplify program design and implementation. Interestingly, we sometimes neglect to take advantage of the fact that we can also use abstractions to benefit teaching and learning.

Influence of Concreteness and Accessibility on Concept-Thinking

Psychological Reports, 1957
The problem and design of these experiments developed from many sources, among which were Welch and Welch and Long's work on levels or hierarchies of concepts, and the roles played by discrimination, generalization, and memory in concept-formation (27, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 ) ; Maier's work on the influence of perception and memory on problem-solving,

Sustainable Concepts for Concrete Bridges in Germany

IABSE Reports, 2014
<p> The aging infrastructure in Germany coupled with limited natural und financial resources has led to the development of a wide range of sustainable strategies and concepts. It wasn’t until 2011 that a code for the recalculation of highway bridges, the so called “Nachrechnungsrichtlinie”, was introduced.

THE CONCRETE UNIVERSAL OF EMBODIED CONCEPTS

In this article, I examine the notion of concrete universal in Hegel’s philosophy through trends in philosophy of mind. I argue that the concrete universal, which is tied to the subjectivity and historicity of nature, can shed light on some issues within the current debates therein.
