Opis

This new edition provides a comprehensively updated survey of advances in the field of cement technology. A multidimensional team of authors have been drawn together to give a global perspective to the subject. The book covers cement production, mineralogy and hydration, as well as the mechanical properties of cement and the corrosion and durability of cementitious systems. Special cements are included, along with calcium aluminate and blended cements. Further chapters are concerned with cement paste rheology, gypsum in cements, and toxic and radioactive waste encapsulation.
