DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Practical Cement Testing The body of the book, Chapters IV. To XII., is devoted to the conduct of routine tests of cement. The chapter on Chemical Analysis was prepared in collaboration with Mr. Charles S. Reeve, Chemist of the Philadelphia Laboratories. Chapter XIII. Deals with simple tests by which the character of a cement may be. Ascertained with practically no apparatus, and which might be of considerable service to the small con sumer or to the expert when it is impracticable to obtain ap paratus to make tests in the orthodox manner. The practical Operation of a cement laboratory is considered in. Chapter XIV., which also describes the organization, the labor required, and the cost of testing. To avoid an endless number of qualified statements, in de scribing the different properties and tests, the body of the book is devoted entirely to Portland cement, while in Chapter XV. Is given a description of the properties and tests of natural, improved, slag, sand, and other varieties of cement.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Fresh concrete is generally featured in publications on concrete technology where the focus is often on fundamental rheology or diverse research methods, or the standards describe the tests but do not provide practical advice on interpretation of the results. This book aims to fill the gap between highly scientific and fundamental works and the many fragmented test specifications. It summarises the existing knowledge on the properties of fresh concrete in a form accessible to practicing engineers and concrete technologists. It includes a manual of practical tests which cover both the standard tests in major countries and new tests specifically applicable to site testing. The testing equipment required and the procedures are described in sufficient detail for the tests to be carried out, with references to selected national standards when compliance with specific conditions applicable in those countries is required. Particular attention is paid to properties of special fresh concrete mixes which are increasingly used in practical construction. The work will be of interest to engineers and others involved in the research, development, design and execution of concrete construction, including those working in EEC countries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Providing a comprehensive overview of the techniques involved in testing concrete in structures, Testing of Concrete in Structures discusses both established techniques and new methods, showing potential for future development, and documenting them with illustrative examples. Topics have been expanded where significant advances have taken place in the field, for example integrity assessment, sub-surface radar, corrosion assessment and localized dynamic response tests. This fourth edition also covers the new trends in equipment and procedures, such as the continuation of general moves to automate test methods and developments in digital technology and the growing importance of performance monitoring, and includes new and updated references to standards. The non-specialist civil engineer involved in assessment, repair or maintenance of concrete structures will find this a thorough update.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book presents an in-depth approach to concrete ingredients and their relationships to concrete by discussing their properties, pertinent test methods, specifications, proper use and selection, and solutions to problems in practice. The approach is practice oriented, and the book assists in the improved application of concrete through a thorough understanding of its ingredients. This is aided by the discussion of certain fundamental aspects and relationships in quantitative forms, and by also presenting the interpretation of research and experience. An extensive bibliography is included.The book is a current, organized summary of knowledge concerning concrete-making materials, which will enable the engineer/user to make the best possible product using these materials.
