Concrete Microstructure Properties and Materials (4^th Ed.)

Fully revised to include the latest advances in concrete technology, Concrete: Microstructure, Properties, and Materials provides complete details on the microstructure-property relationship approach to provide scientific explanation for the strength and durability of concrete.

This in-depth resource discusses the microstructure and properties of hardened concrete; concrete-making materials and concrete processing; and current developments in concrete technology, mechanics, and nondestructive testing methods.

New to this Edition: Inclusion of recently built/ongoing construction projects worldwide

Information on shrinkage-reducing admixtures.

Coverage of the latest advances in concrete technology'self-consolidating concrete; nanotechnology of concrete; shotcrete; expansive cement; and concrete for nuclear radiation.
