Concrete's versatility, durability, and economy have made it the world's most used construction material. Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures has been the cement and concrete industry's primary reference on concrete technology for over 75 years. With a 50% increase in new information, this fully revised 14th edition was updated to reflect the latest advances in concrete technology and to provide a current reference on concrete.
Extensively updated and expanded, this new edition discusses materials for concrete, such as portland cements, supplementary cementing materials, aggregates, admixtures and fibers; air entrainment; procedures for mix proportioning, batching, mixing, transporting, handling, placing, consolidating, finishing, and curing concrete; precautions necessary during hot- and cold-weather concreting; causes and methods of controlling volume changes; commonly used control tests for quality concrete; special types of concrete, such as high-performance, lightweight, heavyweight, no-slump, roller-compacted, shotcrete, mass concrete and many more. Applicable ASTM, AASHTO, and ACI standards are referred to extensively. |
