Description: The new second edition provides an up-to-date and in-depth look at the material properties of the most durable and versatile construction material in the world. Newer concrete materials receive special focus, with added chapters on high-strength concrete, mineral admixtures, cement-polymer composites, and fiber-reinforced concrete. For the college student, the fundamentals of concrete are covered, as well as exercises and bibliographies at the end of each chapter. Authors J. Francis Young, Sidney Francis Mindess, and David Darwin have written widely and are highly regarded experts in the field of concrete technology. Published by Prentice Hall
