By V.S. Ramachandran, National Research Council Canada, Ottawa, Canada
Description Since the publication of the first edition ten years ago, significant developments have occurred in the use of admixtures in concrete.
Eight new chapters and a full update of the preceding ten chapters bring this book up to date; reflecting the relative advances made
in the science and technology of different groups of admixtures. The increased role and development of admixtures in concrete technology
is evidenced by a number of conferences, publications, and novel admixtures available in the market place.
These developments in the
field caused the modification of many chapters in the first edition in order to reflect the advances. Although individual chapters refer
to standards and specifications of admixtures, those only interested in the standards or techniques used in investigating admixtures
will find the second chapter (Research Technologies, Standards, and Specifications) useful. Admixtures are not as inert as may be presumed.
They may chemically interact with the constituents of concrete and affect the properties of the fresh and hardened concrete and its durability.
The third chapter deals with these aspects. It was important to devote a chapter to recent attempts in developing new admixtures.
