Aggregates in Concrete

Beschreibung

This book provides a detailed guide to the selection and use of aggregates in concrete. It presents an overview of aggregate sources and production techniques, followed by a detailed study of their physical, mechanical and chemical properties. Then it looks at the use of aggregates in both plastic and hardened concretes, and in the overall mix design. Special aggregates and their applications are discussed, as are the current main specifications, standards and tests.
