Description
Over the last decade, the use of high performance concrete has steadily increased throughout the world, particularly in the construction
of tall buildings and bridges. This increased availability has been accompanied by a continuing search for improvements in the mechanical
properties, methods of production and durability of this material.
Written by a team of international experts, this new title summarises
recent developments in the field and helps the reader to appreciate the potential of high performance concrete in the construction industry.
Audience
Professionals and academics in civil and structural engineering. Advanced undergraduates and postgraduates studying these subjects. Materials technologists.
