Chemical Admixtures for Concrete

Chemical admixtures are used in concrete mixtures to produce particular engineering properties such as rapid hardening, water-proofing or resistance to cold. Chemical Admixtures for Concretesurveys recent developments in admixture technology, explaining the mechanisms by which admixtures produce their effects, the various types of admixtures available, their selection and use. Because of the economies they can offer, admixtures are being used increasingly in civil engineering projects worldwide. The book pays particular attention to good practice and includes a detailed chapter on the international standards currently in force.

Repair and Protection of Concrete Structures presents the latest information regarding the durability and repair of concrete structures. It emphasizes the importance of selecting repair materials to match site and service conditions, using proper repair procedures, and attending to the details of design. Divided into three parts, the book discusses such topics as the properties of new products, the various materials in general use for repair work, selection criteria, methodologies for selecting appropriate repair materials, the behavior of concrete under various environmental conditions, non-destructive evaluation methods for detecting deterioration of structures, and basic repair principles applicable to a wide range of buildings. Engineers, architects, technologists, and contractors should consider this book a valuable tool that provides a much needed survey of current work and thinking regarding degradation and techniques for improving repair work.
