Rheology of Fresh Cement and Concrete..

In the last 20 years, we have witnessed a revolution in ground stabilization in both underground and above-ground applications, thanks largely to the widespread adoption of shotcrete as a medium for support. Shotcrete technology continues to evolve and improve as its utilization increases. This volu..

Special Inorganic Cements covers the use of special inorganic cements instead of standard Portland cement in certain specialist applications, such as oil well drilling or in a high tempeture location...

Poor durability of concrete is a major cause of problems in modern building and civil engineering structures in all countries: the annual cost of investigating and repairing deteriorating reinforced concrete structures runs into many millions of..

Structural Lightweight Aggregate Concrete..

Drawing together a multinational team of authors, this second edition of Structure and Performance of Cements highlights the latest global advances in the field of cement technology. Practitioners, academics and researchers will find it..

Sulfate Attack on Concrete provides a comprehensive reference to this important subject.It is an essential reference for industry practitioners and also for researchers of materials science and concrete technology...

When produced correctly, concrete can be extremely strong, with high load-bearing capacity and superior durability. Another noteworthy property is the relatively low amount of energy and resources consumed during production. This volume brings together the results of a major research project explori..
