Properties of Concrete

Fülszöveg

Since its first publication in 1963, Properties of Concrete has been
internationally acclaimed as the definitive work of reference on the
subject for both the professional and student engineer.
The fourth edition has been completely rewritten and updated to reflect
advances in concrete technology over the past decade, yet it still retains
the original aim of Professor Neville's book: to provide reliable, compre-
hensive and practical information on the properties and use of concrete,
and the selection of mix proportions, all based on scientific observations
and the author's extensive engineering experience. The emphasis
throughout is on understanding the behaviour of concrete and relating it
to physical and chemical phenomena involved in the performance of the
material in service. The overall effect is to give an integrated view of the
properties of concrete so as to enable the reader to achieve the best
possible construction in concrete. In addition, the scientific... Tovább

information provided is invaluable in planning research and in the
interpretation of test results.
• new material includes such topics as various cementitious materials,
high performance concrete, recently introduced admixtures, concrete
under cryogenic conditions, properties of the aggregate-matrix
interface, and durability of concrete under extreme conditions.
• incorporates a wealth of data from the latest relevant national and
international standards and codes of practice
• both SI and Imperial units are used throughout
• includes 1500 full references to the world's literature on concrete
• an extensive index containing over 6000 entries provides excellent
ease-of-reference.
"Professor Neville's book is a work of authority and is unreservedly
recommended to all concerned with the properties of concrete."
