Advanced Concrete Technology (Hardcover)

From the Publisher: Over the past two decades concrete has enjoyed a renewed level of research and testing, resulting in the development of many new types of concrete.  Through the use of various additives, production techniques and chemical processes, there is now a great degree of control over the properties of specific concretes for a wide range of applications.  New theories, models and testing techniques have also been developed to push the envelope of concrete as a building material.  There is no current textbook which brings all of these advancements together in a single volume.  This book aims to bridge the gap between the traditional concrete technologies and the emerging state-of-the-art technologies which are gaining wider use.
