This reference on concrete technology covers the fundamentals of freshly mixed and hardened concrete. This edition discusses sustainability; durability; materials for making concrete, such as portland cements, supplementary cementing materials, aggregates, water, admixtures, fibers, and reinforcement; procedures for mix proportioning, batching, mixing, transporting, handling, placing, consolidating, finishing, and curing concrete; precautions necessary during hot- and cold-weather concreting; causes and methods of controlling volume changes; commonly used control tests for quality concrete; special types of concrete, such as high-performance, lightweight, heavyweight, no-slump, roller-compacted, shotcrete, mass concrete, and many more.
