Binders for Durable and Sustainable Concrete (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Linking theory to practice, this book provides a better fundamental understanding of Portland cement and hydraulic binders which is necessary to make better concrete. It has been clearly demonstrated that concrete durability is closely linked to its water/binder ratio and proper curing during the first week after casting. In this rigorously present
