Foreign Investor Misconduct in International Investment Law
examines the issue of foreign investor misconduct in modern international investment law, focusing on the approach that international investment law as it currently operates has developed towards foreign investor misconduct. The term ‘misconduct’ is not a legal notion, but is used to describe a certain phenomenon, namely, a group/class of actions. This term is convenient since it makes it possible to introduce and describe the phenomenon as such, without a division into concrete types of conduct, like ‘abuse of process’, ‘violation of national law’, ‘corruption’, ‘investment contrary to international norms and standards’, etc.
Fiber Concrete : In Construction
Helps the user to correctly use fiber-reinforced concrete as a building material in accordance with its properties in order to create a long-lasting building for the client at low cost. Fiber-reinforced concrete as an extension of concrete offers considerable advantages for building practice, which, based on the material properties, enable a very long service life.Fiber-reinforced concrete is particularly suitable for an aggressive environment such as salt exposure, since corrosion can be completely avoided. Particular attention is also paid to the shrinkage cracks that occur in the concrete and how they can be and how these can be avoided when using fibers.
Concrete composite columns : Behavior and design
Moves beyond existing resources, to study the relationship between existing composite structures and design methods for the sectional form of concrete composite structure. Chapters cover the failure criteria of concrete; confined concrete types; models including axial stress prediction, analysis oriented constitutive, and design-oriented constitutive models; the design and analysis of section form; double confined concrete; seismic behaviors of concrete composite columns; and the seismic design of concrete composite columns.
