Life-cycle cost analysis for protection and rehabilitation of concrete bridges relative to reinforcement corrosion / by Purvis, Ronald L.(CARDINAL)327947; Strategic Highway Research Program (U.S.)(CARDINAL)298325;
Includes bibliographical references (page 289).Methodology -- Handbook -- User manual for corrode.A systematic methodology is presented for highway agencies to use at the project level to determine the most cost-effective treatment, and its timing, for specific concrete bridge components that are deteriorating or are subject to deterioration. The methodology is set forth in the form of both a handbook and a computer program. The methodology in its present form applies only when the predominant concrete deterioration is associated with chloride-induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel. The methodology is designed to be flexible and can be tailored to suit the needs of individual highway agencies.... contract no.System requirements: requires computer with floppy disk drive, personal computer operating under DOS, minimum of 2 megabytes of space on the hard disk.

Understanding open source & free software licensing / by St. Laurent, Andrew M.(CARDINAL)284628;
Open source licensing, contract, and copyright law -- The MIT, BSD, Apache, and academic free licenses -- The GPL, LGPL, and Mozilla licenses -- Qt, artistic, and Creative Commons licenses -- Non-open source licenses -- Legal impacts of open source and free software licensing -- Software development using open source and free software licenses."Many developers may believe in releasing their software freely but have hesitated because licensing issues are complicated, and their managers are afraid of losing control of the software. Understanding Open Source and Free Software Licensing clears up the confusion over open source and free software licenses and shows developers how to use them effectively. Readers will find in-depth explanations of how licenses compare, contrast, and interoperate, and the ways that license choices affect project possibilities." "This book discusses copyright, patent, and warranty issues and also explores how to choose among the licenses, the implications of working on projects where someone else has already chosen the license, and the liabilities created by violating license terms."--Jacket.
