Concrete Techies Will LOVE this book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Concrete Mix Design, Quality Control and Specification (Hardcover)
The methods, processes and controls described in this book used for quality assurance of concrete production may be "old hat" in EU and the UK but much of it is not practiced in North America. American Concrete Institute (ACI) Manuals of Concrete Practice are good references but this reference book is terrific. I have been associated with cement and concrete for more than 40 years and I still reference it every day. It provides insights to new entrants or seasoned technologists that are not available elsewhere. Incidentally, this book purchase represents a librairy upgrade for me from the previous edition by Ken Day.
