Description: Advances in engineered concrete materials, including concrete constituents, high-performance concretes, design of mixtures for both normal and high-strength concretes, and special concrete applications, such as architectural concrete.
Reinforced concrete construction, including recommendations on the vast array of types of constructed facilities; long-term effects on behavior and performance, such as creep and shrinkage; construction loading effects; formwork and falsework proportioning; and automation in construction.
Specialized construction such as prestressed concrete construction in buildings and transportation facilities, construction and proportioning of construction in seismic zones, masonry construction, heavy concrete construction, and concrete marine structures
Design recommendations for high performance, including deflection reduction in buildings; proportioning of concrete structural elements according to the latest ACI 318-95 Building Code; prefabricated precasting; geotechnical and foundation engineering; non-destructive evaluation of long-term structural performance; and structural concrete repair, retrofit, and rehabilitation.
This new handbook fills the need for in-depth coverage of concrete construction engineering and technology. It features discussions on what design engineers and contractors need to know about concrete materials and systems - one of the most versatile materials available.
