Description
Covers the art and science of concrete in a simple, clear and scientific manner - emphasizing structure-property relations. This text presents concrete from the point of view of the professional engineer charged with designing and building facilities of concrete. In the new edition there is clearer coverage of viscoelastic behaviour of concrete, and a comprehensive treatment of thermal shrinkage and stresses. Plastic settlement cracks and crazing are described, and information on the advances in concrete mechanics and technology of structural lightweight concrete is presented.
