This ninth edition of Fulton’s Concrete Technology provides up-to-date information on materials
and other aspects of concrete relevant to South African conditions. Whether it finds its way
onto the desks of practitioners, is used as a source document for lecturers, or is referred to as a
prescribed work by students, the aim is to make a publication available which consolidates the
experience and insights of experts in a single volume.
Some chapters have been revised extensively to reflect new developments and the latest research,
and to ensure that the technology presented in this book remains at the highest standard. New
authors have come on board and, taking cognisance of the expressed needs of readers of previous
editions, five new chapters have been added: repair, reinforcement, formwork, sand-cement
mixes and self-compacting concrete.
As in the previous edition, the contents are divided into five broad categories:
• Materials for concrete
• Properties of fresh concrete
• Properties of hardened concrete
• Production of concrete
• Special techniques and applications
The Cement and Concrete Institute is a marketing organisation that aims to grow concrete’s
market share for its members.  It achieves its goals by providing education and training, technical
advice and information. Fulton’s Concrete Technology supports these objectives and strives to
ensure that the processes of concrete and concreting are better understood and applied.
