Description
Based on the Institute of Concrete Technology's Advanced Concrete Technology Course, these four volumes are a comprehensive educational
and reference resource for the concrete materials technologist. An expert international team of authors from research, academia and industry
has been brought together to produce this unique series. Each volume deals with a different aspect of the subject: constituent materials,
properties, processes and testing and quality. With worked examples, case studies and illustrations throughout, the books will be a key
reference for the concrete specialist for years to come.
Audience
Practitioners in the concrete and cement industry. Academics and postgraduate students of civil engineering and related subjects
