Tests for Concrete and Durability of Concrete Aggregates


Book Description

Paper 1: Results of a statewide experiment to compare the AE-55 air indicator for concrete with conventional pressure methods are presented. Paper 2: Describes a series of tests designed to determine the reliability of results, the feasibility of use, and the practical applications of the test hammer in construction control. Paper 4: In this study, pore characteristics, mineralogy, texture, and structure were determined for cherts and shales from nine Indiana glacial gravel deposits by means of microscopic petrography, x-ray diffraction, and the common specific gravity and absorption techniques.













Prediction of Concrete Durability


Book Description

Poor durability of concrete is a continuing concern to owners of structures and their professional advisors. Advances in methods of assessing and predicting durability are being made in many areas, and this book provides a state of art review of the current situation. Contributions from leading researchers and consultants make it a valuable guide for all those responsible for concrete buildings and structures.
