Product Description
The Materials Science of Concrete series aims to bridge the gap between the research community for concrete and the world of practical applications. Each volume features several chapters, written by leading researchers and product developers, which focus on selected basics of cement chemistry and concrete technology. Concrete is explored as a composite material whose performance depends on the quality of its ingredients. Readers will develop an understanding of the capabilities of cementing materials, the chemical and mineral admixtures available, and the properties inherent in a wide range of aggregates. The contributors to this series believe the flow of current, scientific knowledge to engineers will help them maximize the use and performance of this indispensable material.
