Concrete Technology

Concrete Technology (2nd Edition)
By A.M. Neville & J.J. Brooks

Concrete Technology by A.M. Neville and J.J. Brooks is designed to provide a complete understanding of several aspects of concrete design and technology, starting from its basic principles. The success of any concrete structure depends on the designer's sound knowledge of concrete and its behaviour under load, temperature and humidity changes, and exposure to relevant environmental and industrial conditions. This book gives students a thorough understanding of all aspects of concrete technology, with reference to national standards and recognized testing methods used in Britain, the European Union, and the United States.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Concrete ingredients
• Properties and behaviour of concrete in finished structures
• Concrete as a structural material
• Admixtures
• Temperature problems in concreting
• Strength of concrete
• Elasticity and creep
• Strength properties and testing
• Compliance with specifications
• Special concretes
• Permeability and durability
• Resistance to freezing and thawing

Key features:

• Precise, condensed presentation of the well-known properties of concrete
• Numerous examples and problems highlighting the vital aspects of each chapter
• Reference to both American and British standards and testing methods
• Written in English using both SI and Imperial units, making it valuable worldwide
• Authored by two highly respected experts, including Honorary Members of major concrete institutes
• Excellent coursebook and reliable reference for practising engineers in the field

Perfect for:

• Civil engineering students
• Structural engineering and building students at degree or diploma level
• B.E./B.Tech students studying concrete technology and materials
• Faculty teaching concrete technology and construction materials courses
• Practising civil and structural engineers seeking a comprehensive concrete reference
