We Wrote the Book on Concrete

Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures has been the cement and concrete industry’s primary reference on concrete technology, since PCA published the first U.S. edition in the early 1920s.

Extensively updated and expanded in 2002, this popular manual on concrete technology and practice covers all the essentials from the fundamentals to the specifics of materials, mixing, placing, testing, and new developments. This invaluable resource is a must for anyone who works with concrete, from educators and specifiers to contractors and engineers.

It is available in print and CD formats in several languages.
