Citations are necessary in order to assure that the next person would be able to access the same information through different means. Citing is also important for credibility and building on research. You may have a good idea, but simply stating it does not make it true or believable. Give your ideas validity and support by citing established authors. To avoid plagiarism - nothing is worse to an author than discovering their hard work has been stolen and claimed as original by someone else. Citations give authors their due credit. Citation: The basic, necessary information needed to locate the work. The style (e.g. MLA, APA) dictates the order and format of the information, but the basic elements necessary such as title, author, publication date and so on are generally universal. In-text Citation: An attribution to quot;d or summarized material used within the text of the paper. Contains a limited amount of information which varies by style. Bibliography: List of all the citations referred to in your paper, usually at the end of the paper. MLA calls it a Works Cited page, while APA calls it References. Annotated Bibliography: List of the citations along with a brief summary and evaluation of each work.
Description Digital License Terms Table of Contents The first edition of the Post- Tensioning Manual was published in 1972. The manual provided the industry standard for the design and construction of post-tensioned structures. Subsequent editions reflected the growing use of post-tensioning. There have been significant advancements in post-tensioning technology in the last two decades. Post-tensioning is now used in many new areas, ranging from residential slabs-on-ground to large stay cable bridges. As a result, the sixth edition contains updated information on the current practices in the use, design, and construction of post-tensioning. The sixth edition has been extensively rewritten and expanded from the fifth edition, which was published in 1990. The manual contains 12 new chapters that give design guidance on modern applications of post-tensioning. All of the original chapters have been completely revised and modified to reflect the current industry practices. New topics include seismic design, post-tensioned concrete floors, parking structures, slabs-on-ground, bridges, stay cables, storage structures, barrier cables, dynamic and fatigue, durability, inspection and maintenance, and field and plant certification. This book is an invaluable resource for practicing engineers, architects, students, educators, contractors, inspectors, and building officials, providing basic information and essential principles of post-tensioning. Features: Industry standard for the design and construction of post-tensioned structures Significant additions and updates: 12 new chapters that give design guidance on modern applications of post-tensioning All of the original chapters have been completely revised and modified to reflect the current industry practices New topics include seismic design, post-tensioned concrete floors, parking structures, slabs-on-ground, bridges, stay.
