Special Inorganic Cements
1st Edition
By Ivan Odler
December 12, 2019
The only book to cover the use of special inorganic cements instead of standard Portland cement in certain specialist applications, such as oil well drilling or in a high temperature location. Special Inorganic Cements draws together information which is widely scattered in the technical literature...
Steel Corrosion in Concrete: Fundamentals and civil engineering practice
1st Edition
By Arnon Bentur, Neal Berke, Sidney Diamond
December 12, 2019
Poor durability of concrete is a major cause of problems in modern building and civil engineering structures in all countries: the annual cost of investigating and repairing deteriorating reinforced concrete structures runs into many millions of pounds. This book explains the fundamentals of the ...
Textile Reinforced Concrete
1st Edition
By Alva Peled, Arnon Bentur, Barzin Mobasher
December 12, 2019
Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) has emerged in recent years as an attractive new high performance cement-based composite. Textiles can significantly improve the mechanical behavior of cement matrices under static and dynamic conditions, and give superior tensile strength, toughness, ductility, ...
Concrete Surface Engineering
1st Edition
By Benoit Bissonnette, Luc Courard, Andrzej Garbacz
July 26, 2017
Applying any material to an existing concrete surface intrinsically entails the development of a bond. Considering the ever increasing importance of concrete repair and protection, which imply the creation of an interface between two materials, an improved knowledge of concrete surface ...
Durability of Concrete: Design and Construction
1st Edition
By Mark Alexander, Arnon Bentur, Sidney Mindess
June 08, 2017
This book provides an up-to-date survey of durability issues, with a particular focus on specification and design, and how to achieve durability in actual concrete construction. It is aimed at the practising engineer, but is also a valuable resource for graduate-level programs in universities. ...
Sustainability of Concrete
1st Edition
By Pierre-Claude Aïtcin, Sidney Mindess
March 29, 2017
Production of Portland cement is responsible for about seven percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. The pressure to make the production of concrete more sustainable, or "greener", is considerable and increasing. This requires a wholesale shift in processes, materials and methods in ...
Durability of Concrete in Cold Climates
1st Edition
By M. Pigeon, R. Pleau
June 01, 1995
This book provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of durability of the frost resistance of concrete. It will enable both concrete materials specialists and practising engineers to better understand the deterioration processes which take place during freezing and thawing, and the effects ...
