A Pursuit of Happiness: Memories, Dreams, and Mortality

<p><p>Nausherwan Hasan, a professional engineer who grew up in Pakistan before immigrating to the United States of America, recalls his journey from the East to the West.</p> From an early age, he learned how to deal with challenges when his family was forced to migrate to Pakistan following the partition of India in 1947-a history he revisits in this autobiography. His father had to adjust to a new reality but met it head on with hard work and faith. Hasan shares how he made his way to America and joined Ebasco, which was formed by General Electric in 1905. There, he had the opportunity to work on a range of nuclear power plants, hydro facilities and infrastructure projects. The author, who was nicknamed Nash, worked there his entire career- lasting over 44 years.. Hasan also reflects on surviving two bombings on the World Trade Center, his love affair with New York City, while sharing stories of his work and hid family and the many lessons he learned about pursuing happiness</p>

<p><div>This book provides practicing engineers with a step by step approach for making durable concrete with optimum use of the local materials available within the various regions of the United States. It further includes actual concrete mixture proportions for high performance concrete for strength and durability under various aggressive environments based on the author's experience in the field, and support this with illustrative case studies. Examples for concrete mixture proportions, based on the current industry practice and standards, are highlighted to assist engineers in meeting the intended performance requirements (for specific environment conditions) for&nbsp; durable concrete. Covering an important topic for the construction and building materials industries, this book delivers the most up-to-date industry practices and advances in concrete construction from the perspective of a practicing engineer with over 40 year experience. <div> <ul> <li>Maximizes practicing engineers' understanding of best design and construction practices in fabricating, delivery, and installation of concrete, consistent with current knowledge on concrete durability</li> <li>Discusses quality control and testing requirements during design and construction, including mixing, production, and placement of concrete and tolerances for slump and air content<br /></li> <li>Emphasizes real-world examples of optimal concrete mixtures, suitable for selected service conditions and applications, based on prior successful records of projects within the US<br /></li> <li>Addresses the role of innovative admixtures in concrete placement in cold weather conditions below 32F and meeting the strength and durability requirements<br /></li> <li>Serves as a valuable resource for students in graduate programs<br /></li> </ul> </div> <div><br /></div> <div><br /></div> <div><br /></div> </div></p>
