Aggregates in Concrete (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a detailed guide to the selection and use of aggregates in concrete. It presents an overview of aggregate sources and production techniques, followed by a detailed study of their physical, mechanical and chemical properties. Then it looks at the use of aggregates in both plastic and hardened concretes, and in the overall mix design. Special aggregates and their applications are discussed, as are the current main specifications, standards and tests.

Autorenporträt

Mark Alexander is Professor of Civil Engineering in the University of Cape Town. He holds BSc (Eng), MSc (Eng), and PhD degrees from the University of the Witwatersrand. His teaching and research interests are in cement and concrete technology, with experience in materials and application to design and construction. He head the Concrete Materials Research Group at UCT, where extensive work is being done on understanding problems of concrete durability. He has published extensively both in South Africa and abroad. He frequently acts as a specialist consultant to industry and the profession on concrete materials problems.

Sidney Mindess is Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of British Columbia, where he has taught since 1969. His teaching and research interests are primarily in cement and concrete technology, with a particular interest in fibre reinforced concrete and the behaviour of concrete under impact loading. He has published extensively, and is engaged in consulting on construction.
