Concrete Technology Theory And Practice 8e

Concrete Technology: Theory and Practice" gives students of Civil Engineering a thorough understanding of all aspects of concrete technology from first principles. It covers types of Cement, Admixtures, Concrete strength, durability and testing with reference to national standards.

Concrete is a material used widely in building and construction applications worldwide; hence, it plays a significant role in the global construction sector. Cement is a major component of concrete and is used in construction applications, either on its own or as a composite with other materials, to improve workability, durability, strength, weight, and shrinkage. However, cement and concrete production and use have adverse environmental effects. Thus, great efforts have been made to produce eco-friendly concrete. This book examines several aspects of sustainable concrete technologies, including new forms of concrete as well as different approaches for creating sustainable cement.

Durability and service life design of concrete constructions have considerable socio-economic and environmental consequences, in which the permeability of concrete to aggressive intruders plays a vital role. Concrete Permeability and Durability Performance provides deep insight into the permeability of concrete, moving from theory to practice, and presents over 20 real cases, such as Tokyo’s Museum of Western Art, Port of Miami Tunnel and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao sea-link, including field tests in the Antarctic and Atacama Desert. It stresses the importance of site testing for a realistic durability assessment and details the "Torrent Method" for non-destructive measurement of air-permeability. It also delivers answers for some vexing questions: Should the coefficient of permeability be expressed in m2 or m/s? How to get a "mean" pore radius of concrete from gas-permeability tests? Why should permeability preferably be measured on site? How can service life of reinforced concrete structures be predicted by site testing of gas-permeability and cover thickness? Practitioners will find stimulating examples on how to predict the coming service life of new structures and the remaining life of existing structures, based on site testing of air-permeability and cover thickness. Researchers will value theoretical principles, testing methods, as well as how test results reflect the influence of concrete mix composition and processing.

This book presents the select proceedings of the International Conference on Structures, Materials and Construction (ICSMC 2021). It covers the recent developments and futuristic trends in the field of structural engineering and construction management, including new building materials and understanding their behavior. The topic covered also assess the current progress and state-of-the-art techniques in structural experimentation, smart materials, structures technology, principles of construction management, materials properties and characterization. The collection of papers included in this proceeding will contribute to scientific developments in the field of structural engineering and construction and will be a useful as reference material for the academicians, researchers and most importantly the student community pursuing research in the fields of structural engineering and construction technology.

The book in its present form is due to my interaction with the students for quite a long time.It had been my long-cherished desire to write a book covering most of the topics that form the syllabii of the Engineering and Science students at the degree level.Many students,although able to understand the various topics of the books,may not be able to put their knowledge to use.For this purpose a number of questions and problems are given at the end of each chapter.
