Concrete Technology: Theory and Practice

• Divided into 16 chapters, the book elucidates all theories in an apropos manner.
• Three new Chapters on "Production and Placing of Concrete", "Temperature Control of Concrete at Early Ages and Extreme Weather Concreting" and "Repair Technology for Concrete Structures"
• More than 900 figures, tables and references strengthen the well-explained theoretical concepts.
