Concrete Mixture Proportioning

A Scientific Approach

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive theory for the rational design of mixtures. It embraces most of the contemporary cemetitious materials, and allows the user to achieve an internationally-applicable mastery of concrete material through the use of computer software. The author presents a number of simple models for the understanding of a concrete system, and then provides the techniques for developing more sophisticated models for the practical design of concrete mixes.

---

The design of concrete mixes is becoming increasingly complex, with the addition of new materials in the compounds, such as organic admixtures, fibres and supplementary cementitious materials. Moreover, the list of properties which concretes are required to possess for certain applications has increased, and interest is developing in rheology, durability, deformability and whole-life behaviour. This book presents a number of simple models for the understanding of a concrete system, and provides the techniques for developing more sophisticated models for the practical design of concrete mixes.
