Concrete in Hot Environments (Modern Concrete Technology) - Tapa dura

Elevated temperatures are known to affect the properties of both fresh and hardened concrete. This book describes in detail these effects and explains the mechanisms involved with particular reference to their practical aspects. The work presents a unified treatment of the subject which has to date only been covered in a small number of scientific papers detailing only with small parts of this increasingly important area of concrete research. It concentrates on the properties of concrete, the structure pf cement, strength, volume changes and durability in hot environments and should be of value to scientists and engineers involved in modern concrete technology both in academic research as well as civil and structural engineering projects.
