Product Description
The success of any concrete structure depends on the designer’s sound knowledge of concrete and its behaviour under load, under temperature and humidity changes, and under exposure to the relevant environment and industrial conditions.
This book gives students a thorough understanding of all aspects of concrete technology from first principles. It covers concrete ingredients, properties and behaviour in the finished structure with reference to national standards and recognised testing methods used in Britain, the European Union and the United States. Examples and problems are given throughout to emphasise the important aspects of each chapter.
An excellent coursebook for all students of Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering and Building at degree or diploma level, Concrete Technology will also be a valuable reference book for practising engineers in the field.
No need for comments for this book.

EN 197-1:2000/A1:2004 Cement - Part 1: Composition, specifications and conformity criteria for common cements
EN 197-1 defines and gives the specifications of 27 distinct common cement products and their
constituents. The definition of each cement includes the proportions in which the constituents are
to be combined to produce these distinct products in a range of six strength classes. The definition
also includes requirements the constituents have to meet and the mechanical, physical and
chemical !including, where appropriate, heat of hydration requirements" of the 27 products
and strength classes. EN 197-1 also states the conformity criteria and the related rules. Necessary
durability requirements are also given.
NOTE 1: In addition to the specified requirements, an exchange of additional information between the cement
manufacturer and user may be helpful. The procedures for such an exchange are not within the scope
of EN 197-1 but should be dealt with in accordance with national standards or regulations or may be
agreed between the parties concerned.
NOTE 2: The word “cement” in EN 197-1 is used to refer only to common cements unless otherwise specified.

Secondary Compression
Authors: G. Mesri, B. Vardhanabhuti
J. Geotech. and Geoenvir. Engrg. Volume 131, Issue 3, pp. 398-401 (March 2005)
Issue Date: March 2005
EN 13877-1:2004 - Concrete pavements - Part 1: Materials
This European Standard is applicable to concrete pavements cast in situ and compacted by vibration or fluidified. It also covers lean concrete and sub-bases compacted by vibration as well as wearing courses on bridge decks. This standard concerns pavements for roads, motorways and airports, pedestrian streets, cycle tracks, storage areas and, in general, all traffic-bearing structures. This standard specifies requirements for: - the consituents of concrete pavements; - the properties of fresh and hardened concrete; - the limitations for concrete compositions.
EN 13877-2:2004 Concrete pavements - Part 2: Functional requirements for concrete pavements
This European Standard specifies requirements for concrete pavements cast in-situ and compacted by vibration.
It also covers concrete sub-bases as well as wearing courses on bridges.
This European Standard covers concrete pavements in motorways, airfields, pedestrian streets, cycle tracks, storage areas and, in general, all traffic-bearing structures.
EN 13877-3:2004 Concrete pavements - Part 3: Specifications for dowels to be used in concrete pavements
This document specifies the requirements for dowels to be used in cast "in situ" concrete pavements for roads, airfields and other trafficked areas.

Product Description
A wealth of practical information on designing geomembranes to control expansive soils in a broad range of construction and environmental applications
Written by a leading international expert in the field, this book fully explains when and where geomembranes can be used effectively--and discusses expansive soil conditions and problems as well as control solutions. You will find descriptions of geotechnical membrane placement methods, plus information on costs and durability; and worldwide case studies of buildings, highways, roads, airports, canals, pipelines, railroads, and landfills -- all with solutions to expansive soil problems.this book is the first place engineers, architects, and construction professionals should turn for authoritative geomembrane answers.
About the Author
Malcolm Steinberg , P.E., is an internationally recognized lecturer and expert on expansive soils. The director of an El Paso consulting firm that specializes in soils and foundation engineering, he also directs the American Society of Chemical Engineers' District 15. For nearly 40 years, he was an engineer with the Texas Highway Department. This is his first book.
