Description
This comprehensive book containing essential information on the applicability of thermal analysis techniques to evaluate inorganic and
organic materials in construction technology should serve as a useful reference for the scientist, engineer, construction technologist,
architect, manufacturer, and user of construction materials, standard-writing bodies, and analytical chemists.
The material scientists
at the National Research Council of Canada have established one of the best thermal analysis laboratories in the world. Various types
of thermal analysis techniques have been applied successfully to the investigation of inorganic and organic construction materials. These
studies have provided important information on the characterization of raw as well as finished materials, quality control, quantitative
estimation, interrelationships between physical, chemical, mechanical, and durability characteristics.
Information on the application
of thermal analysis to construction materials is dispersed in literature and hence the IRC scientists embarked on producing a handbook,
the first of its kind, incorporating the latest knowledge available in this field of activity. Almost all important construction materials
have been included.
Audience
Scientists, engineers, construction technologists, architecst, manufacturers, and users of construction materials, standard-writing bodies, and analytical chemists.
