This book/disk package discusses the numerous variations that occur in the strength of concrete and offers numerical methods for interpreting these variations. It also examines compressive strengths, the relationship between composition and strength of concrete, advanced cement–based materials, elastic deformation of concrete and cement pastes.
Quantitative tools for evaluating and improving the strength ofconcrete
Concrete is a complex material of vital importance to the civilengineering and construction industries. Strength and RelatedProperties of Concrete addresses the most important single propertyof concrete--its strength--with the goal of contributing toconcrete's technical and economical improvement. The book is uniquein containing, in a single volume, all of the quantitative toolsneeded to evaluate, understand, and improve concrete quality.
This hands-on guide demonstrates how to fine-tune the compositionof concrete to maximize its strength. It presents the bestnumerical relationships for concrete technology that are currentlyavailable, examines them experimentally, and illustrates theirpractical applications. It also provides a basis for improving boththe fundamentals of concrete technology and the way this technologyis taught to engineering students. Computerized formulas forstrength testing are included on a floppy disk.
Topics covered include:
* Proven methods for testing compressive strength
* Important relationships between composition and strength ofconcrete
* Timely applications of advanced cement-based materials
* Elastic deformations of concrete
* Essential properties of cement pastes
Anyone involved in concrete technology, from engineers to concretemanufacturers, will find this practical reference book anindispensable tool.
