Concrete Technology - Theory and Practice

Concrete Technology: Theory and Practice
By M.S. Shetty & A.K. Jain

Concrete Technology: Theory and Practice by M.S. Shetty and A.K. Jain gives students of Civil Engineering a thorough understanding of all aspects of concrete technology from first principles. First published in 1982, this book has evolved over more than 30 years to become a must-read for students of the subject and a valuable reference for practising engineers, covering types of cement, admixtures, concrete strength, durability, and testing with reference to national standards.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Cement and types of cement
• Testing of cement
• Aggregates and testing of aggregates
• Water for concrete making
• Chemical admixtures and construction chemicals
• Properties of fresh concrete
• Production and placing of concrete
• Strength of concrete
• Elasticity, creep, and shrinkage
• Testing of hardened concrete
• Durability of concrete
• Concrete mix design
• Temperature control of concrete at early ages and extreme weather concreting
• Special concretes and concreting methods
• Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC)
• Repairs and maintenance of concrete structures

Key features:

• Divided into 16 chapters, elucidating all theories in a clear, structured manner
• Three dedicated chapters on production and placing, temperature control, and repair technology
• More than 900 figures, tables, and references strengthening the well-explained theoretical concepts
• Widely used by students, architects, and practicing and consulting engineers alike
• Long-standing, trusted textbook with more than 25 reprints since its original 1982 publication
• Bridges theory and practical, real-world application in concrete construction

Perfect for:

• Civil engineering students
• B.E./B.Tech students studying concrete technology and materials
• Structural engineering and construction management students
• Faculty teaching concrete technology courses
• Practising civil engineers and site professionals working with concrete construction
