Concrete & Cement

This textbook provides detailed information on the use of supplementary cementing materials (SCM), such as fly ash, slag, silica fume and natural pozzolans, in concrete. It presents the provenance of these materials and their chemical, physical, and mineralogical properties. By providing an understa..

The pressure to make the production of concrete more sustainable, or “greener”, is considerable and increasing. This requires a wholesale shift in processes, materials and methods in the concrete industry. Presenting the latest advances in the science of concrete, this book focuses particularly on s..

This book provides guidance on accomplishing sustainable concrete construction. It examines the meaning of sustainability, looks at environmental, social and cultural, and economic aspects, considers an evaluation system of sustainability, including various tools and ISO standards, and explores tech..

Transport Processes in Concrete presents a survey of the physical and chemical processes and transport mechanisms in concrete, and analyses their significance for heat, moisture and chemical compounds transport. This book presents a practical methodology for researchers and practitioners in the fiel..

Expounds the basics of the USSR-originating advanced method for construction of tunnels for various purposes with in-situ pressure moulded linings. Topics covered include practical tunnelling experience, specific requirements of concrete, operatio.....

Although durability of most structures depends on how water reacts with the construction material involved, the underlying science of deterioration processes is not yet well understood. Written by two leading researchers in the field, this book unifies description of transport processes involving sa..

This book deals with the measurement of the flow properties of fresh concrete and the factors which affect its workability. Aspects of concrete mixes and control of manufacture to produce optimum properties which relate to workability are covered...
