Opis

This series will present twenty short, sharply-focused tracts, each one covering one of the many aspects of concrete technology: materials, design, construction, testing, and other significant aspects. Volume 1 provides a complete overview of the mineral admixtures used in concrete, including silica fume, slag, rice-husk ash, fly ash, and natural pozzolans. This book will include the mineral and chemical composition of the admixtures, their chemical reactions with cement and as a method of recycling.
