Natt Makul is an associate professor at Phranakhon Rajabhat University. He received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Thammasat University. His research interests include the microwave heating of cement-based materials, the utilization of waste materials as concrete materials, such as fly ash, rice husk ash, limestone powder, steel powder, foundry sand, and dry powder sludge ash, the behaviors of Portland cement-based materials, the microstructural characteristics of concrete, and the special testing and analysis of concrete structures.
This book presents an introduction, a discussion of the concept of the design and the concrete’s development, and the properties and testing of the concrete in fresh and hardened stages. After an introduction to the principles of cement and concrete composites, the reader will find information on the principles of quantum-scaled cement, low-carbon cement, fiber-reinforced concrete, reactive powder concrete, and tailor-made recycled aggregate concrete.
