Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses selecting and proportioning aggregates for use in concrete mixes. The author argues that the ideal concrete achieves maximum density for increased strength by proportioning the best aggregates according to scientific principles and graded sizing rather than by relying on excessive cement content. This approach not only ensures structural integrity but also maximizes the durability, density, and strength of the concrete, making it suitable for a wide range of construction projects and architectural designs. The author emphasizes that the selection of aggregates should prioritize toughness, hardness, and durability, and provides practical guidance on how to achieve the optimal balance of these qualities in a concrete mix. Through numerous experiments and case studies, the author demonstrates the effectiveness of using carefully selected and proportioned aggregates in creating high-performing concrete structures that stand the test of time.
