Description: A comprehensive, well-illustrated overview of the tools, materials, and practices commonly used in the concrete industry. Intended primarily as a teaching tool (the book's subject areas correlate with established apprenticeship programs), it is also an excellent reference for upgrading knowledge and skills. The new 2nd edition offers significant added content in areas such as self-consolidating and pervious concrete, ICFs, and sustainable design. An interactive CD at the back contains quizzes for each chapter, flash cards, video clips, and other content. Published by American Technical Publishers.
