Description
Measuring the long-term durability of new types of concrete and concrete technologies is crucial to their acceptance in the marketplace.
This long-needed handbook of analytical techniques provides a complete reference to the cutting-edge procedures used to test today's
innovative materials.
Ranging from chemical and thermal analysis, to IR and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, to Scanning Electron
Microscopy, x-ray diffraction, computer modeling and more, the book provides first-hand explanations of modern methodsucontributed by
24 leading scientists, many of whom actually developed or refined the techniques. The book includes many analytic techniques, applied
to a wide range of organic, inorganic and composite materials and additives.
Perfect for practitioners, students, and professional standards
writers, the handbook is highly useful for scrutinizing materials in a variety of environments. It takes into account the many factors
that affect the qualities of concreteutemperature, pore and pore-size distribution, surface area, and exposureugathering diverse evaluation
methods into one convenient resource.
Audience
Technologists, practitioners, students, standards writers in the construction materials industry.
