Synopsis:

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.

From the Back Cover: CD-ROM with 1000+ PowerPoint slides, videosbonus material, and more

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
