The Definitive Text on Concrete ?- Fully revised and updated

This comprehensive resource presents the properties, behavior, and technology of concrete in a straightforward and hands-on manner. The Third Edition of Concrete: Microstructure, Properties, and Materials offers a three-part approach, beginning with a section on the microstructure and properties of hardened concrete, followed by a several chapters on concrete-making materials and concrete processing, and concluding with the latest advances in concrete technology, mechanics, and nondestructive testing methods. Each chapter opens with a preview of the material to be covered and closes with a self-test to reinforce the topics learned in the chapter. The book is filled with hundreds of diagrams, photographs, and tables.

New Coverage of:

  • Nondestructive testing methods for concrete
  • New developments in concrete durability
  • High-performance concrete, self-consolidating concrete, high-volume fly-ash concrete
  • Future challenges

The CD-ROM contains:

  • Line drawings used in the book
  • 1000 PowerPoint slides
  • 47 short videos illustrating many topics presented in the book
  • Bonus materials not found in the book
