Book Description
Concrete made using mineral cements, the raw materials which on earth are practically endless, is known as one of the oldest building materials and during the last decades of the twentieth century has become a dominant building material for general use. At the same time, the requirements of the quality of concrete and its performance properties, in particular compressive strength, durability, economical efficiency, and low negative impact of its manufacture on the environment have not yet been completely met. Bearing these requirements in mind, researchers and engineers worldwide are working on how to satisfy these requirements. This book has been written by researchers and experts in the field and provides the state of the art on recent progress achieved on the properties of concrete, including concrete in which industrial by-products are utilized. The book is dedicated to graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers in related fields.

Book Description
The concrete tests currently in widespread use were developed decades ago, and although there have been continual updates and refinements, there are inherent limitations which cannot be overlooked. Most important, current test methods are often rendered unrepresentative of the concrete in the field, especially at early ages or under different curing conditions. The study described herein was conducted to evaluate the applicability and effectiveness of several nondestructive test methods for assessing concrete strength in the field. The test methods used in this study included compressive cylinders, flexural beams, penetration resistance, rebound hammer, pullout, maturity, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and drilled cores. Test results from the different methods being evaluated were compared at concrete ages ranging from 1 to 28 days. Each test method was also evaluated for within-test variability among sets of companion specimens. Three different concrete mix designs were used, including cement plus fly ash contents ranging from 300 to 500 pounds per cubic yard, three maximum sizes of river gravels, and one maximum-size crushed limestone coarse aggregates.

Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages

Book Description
Restraint and intrinsic stresses in concrete at early ages are vitally important for concrete structures which must remain free of water-permeable cracks, such as water-retaining structures, tunnel linings, locks and dams. The development of hydration heat, stiffness and strength, also the degree of restraint and, especially for high-strength concrete, non-thermal effects, are decisive for sensitivity to cracking. Determining thses stresses in the laboratory and in construction components has led to a clearer understanding of how they develop and how to optimize mix design, temperature and curing conditions. New testing equipment has enabled the effects of all the important parameters to be qualified and more reliable models for predictiong restraint stresses to be developed. Thermal Cracking in Conrete at Early Ages contains 56 contributions by leading international specialists presented at the RILEM Symposium held in October 1994 at the Technical University of Munich. It will be valuable for construction and site engineers, concrete technologists and scientists.
Regeneration of the Built Environment from a Circular Economy Perspective

Book Description
This open access book explores the strategic importance and advantages of adopting multidisciplinary and multiscalar approaches of inquiry and intervention with respect to the built environment, based on principles of sustainability and circular economy strategies. A series of key challenges are considered in depth from a multidisciplinary perspective, spanning engineering, architecture, and regional and urban economics. These challenges include strategies to relaunch socioeconomic development through regenerative processes, the regeneration of urban spaces from the perspective of resilience, the development and deployment of innovative products and processes in the construction sector in order to comply more fully with the principles of sustainability and circularity, and the development of multiscale approaches to enhance the performance of both the existing building stock and new buildings. The book offers a rich selection of conceptual, empirical, methodological, technical, and case study/project-based research. It will be of value for all who have an interest in regeneration of the built environment from a circular economy perspective.
