Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures, 15th edition
|
Item Code: EB001.15
Date of Publication: 2011
Price: $90.00
|
|
Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures--the guide to applications, methods, and materials, has been the industry’s primary reference on concrete technology for over 85 years This fully revised 15th edition is a concise, current reference on concrete, that includes the many advances that occurred since the last edition was published in 2002. The text is backed by over 95 years of research by the Portland Cement Association. It reflects the latest information on standards, specifications, test methods and guides of ASTM International (ASTM), the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA).
This book presents the properties of concrete as needed in concrete construction, including strength and durability. All concrete ingredients (cementing materials, water, aggregates, chemical admixtures, and fibers) are reviewed for their optimal use in designing and proportioning concrete mixtures. The use of concrete from design to batching, mixing, transporting, placing, consolidating, finishing, and curing is addressed. Besides presenting a 30% increase in new information over the prior edition within the previous chapters, this edition has added four new chapters on concrete sustainability, reinforcement, properties of concrete, and durability.
This comprehensive manual benefits personnel from ready-mixed concrete producers, concrete contractors, and material suppliers and is a reference publication for many national and state certification programs. Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures also meets the growing needs of architects, engineers, builders, and students. The 15th edition also includes a foreward by William F. Baker, PE, SE, FIStructE Partner, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP. This book is a “must have” for anyone involved with concrete.

Attitudes and Perceptions: Water Resources 2007
|
Item Code: MR441
Date of Publication: 2007
Price: $250.00
|
|
PCA Market Research surveyed decision makers in the water resources market in 2007 to measure changes in their attitudes and perceptions of cement and competing materials. Of the many cement applications for water resources, roller compacted concrete (RCC) dams and soil cement bank protection have been the focus of PCA promotions and are the focus of this survey. The dam market focuses on new/replacement dams and rehabilitation. If you would like more information, or to order this report, please contact karneson@cement.org

Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures has been the cement and concrete industry's primary reference on concrete technology since the first U.S. edition was published in the early 1920s.
Content of this electronic version includes a Spanish translation of the 14th U.S. edition of Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures (EB001.14), which covers fundamentals and detailed information on freshly mixed and hardened concrete. It discusses materials for concrete, such as portland cements, supplementary cementing materials, aggregates, admixtures and fibers; air entrainment; procedures for mix proportioning, batching, mixing, transporting, handling, placing, consolidating, finishing, and curing concrete; precautions necessary during hot- and cold-weather concreting; causes and methods of controlling volume changes; commonly used control tests for quality concrete; special types of concrete, such as high-performance, lightweight, heavyweight, no-slump, roller-compacted, shotcrete, mass concrete and many more. In addition, extensive information on construction practices and standards used in Central and Latin America are included.
While the book focuses on construction terminology used in Mexico, synonyms have been added in parenthesis throughout the book to accommodate readers throughout Latin America. The appendix contains a concise list of synonyms used in this edition.
Includes a comprehensive glossary, links to cement and concrete resources on the web and metric conversions. Entire book is indexed and can be searched using keywords or phrases.
PowerPoint slides are available for each of the book's 18 chapters.

Mass Concrete for Buildings and Bridges
|
Item Code: EB547
Date of Publication: 2007
Price: $30.00
|
|
Mass concrete has been historically associated with large structures such as dams and other large volume placements. However, due to the increasingly common use of fast-track construction practices and high-performance concretes with high cementitious material contents, mass concrete issues are being encountered in typical bridge and building placements.
This document provides practical guidance on understanding mass concrete, how to manage concrete temperatures, and prevent or minimize temperature-related cracking. Understanding the implications of using mass concrete (high internal temperatures and temperature-related cracking) is the key to producing a structure that provides many years of service.
