About the Book

Concrete Technology provides a comprehensive coverage of the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject and includes the latest developments in the field of concrete construction. It incorporates the latest Indian Standard specifications and codes regulating concrete construction.

The book introduces the properties of concrete and its constituent materials and discusses the role of various admixtures in modifying these properties to suit specific requirements. Topics such as ready mixed concrete, reinforcement detailing, disaster-resistant construction, and concrete machinery have been treated exhaustively. Also discussed in detail are special concretes such as high-performance concrete, polymer concrete, and fibre-reinforced concrete in addition to the durability, maintenance, and quality control of concrete structures. An entire chapter has been devoted to concrete structures in special environmental conditions. The book concludes with a discussion on the future trends in concrete technology.

A number of illustrative examples supplement text to aid easy understanding of the concepts discussed. The content of the book should serve the needs of both students and professionals.

Key Features

  • Presents a blend of theoretical and practical aspects
  • Incorporates the provisions of the latest code, IS: 456-2000, in concrete
  • Supports theory with illustrations and photographs
  • Reinforces theoretical concepts by providing solved examples and end-chapter exercises

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
