Concrete Technology

Concrete Technology: Theory and Practice By M.S. Shetty & A.K. Jain

Concrete Technology: Theory and Practice by M.S. Shetty and A.K. Jain gives students of Civil Engineering a thorough understanding of all aspects of concrete technology from first principles. First published in 1982, this book has evolved over more than 30 years to become a must-read for students of the subject and a valuable reference for practising engineers, covering types of cement, admixtures, concrete strength, durability, and testing with reference to national standards.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Cement and types of cement

• Testing of cement

• Aggregates and testing of aggregates

• Water for concrete making

• Chemical admixtures and construction chemicals

• Properties of fresh concrete

• Production and placing of concrete

• Strength of concrete

• Elasticity, creep, and shrinkage

• Testing of hardened concrete

• Durability of concrete

• Concrete mix design

• Temperature control of concrete at early ages and extreme weather concreting

• Special concretes and concreting methods

• Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC)

• Repairs and maintenance of concrete structures

Key features:

• Divided into 16 chapters, elucidating all theories in a clear, structured manner

• Three dedicated chapters on production and placing, temperature control, and repair technology

• More than 900 figures, tables, and references strengthening the well-explained theoretical concepts

• Widely used by students, architects, and practicing and consulting engineers alike

• Long-standing, trusted textbook with more than 25 reprints since its original 1982 publication

• Bridges theory and practical, real-world application in concrete construction

Perfect for:
