Microwave heating is rapidly replacing conventional heating technologies used in many industries including food processing, timber drying, ceramic fabrication and processing, and mining. It can readily be used in the concrete industry. This reference book covers the design of industrial microwave he..

Written for engineers, this book focuses on how to make more workable and durable concrete using mineral admixtures. For each mineral admixture, the book examines manufacturing and processing, physical characteristics, chemical and mineralogical composition, quality control, and reported experiences..

Proposing a simplified but intergrated scenario of concrete life cycle simulation method, this book examines and explains the vast amount of experimental observations related to hardening concrete using a common set of physical laws...
