Concrete Mix Design, Quality Control and Specification by Ken W. Day Pdf

This new edition of Ken Day's established professional guide provides comprehensive, readily understandable assistance to concrete producers in the design and control of their product, and looks as far as possible into the future of concrete. Concrete has become a complex material, generating hundreds, if not thousands, of PhD theses and a substantial number of computerised systems. Having originated the first of such systems, Ken Day now shows how to apply the principles with or without elaborate systems. Such systems pay big dividends to the larger producer but this book still shows the small producer how to achieve competitive mix designs and close quality control without either excessive expenditure or extensive theoretical study. The accompanying website, www.kenday.id.au, offers free programs and access to continually updated advice.

Concrete Mix Design, Quality Control and Specification, Fourth Edition by Ken W. Day,James Aldred,Barry Hudson Pdf

The nature of concrete is rapidly changing, and with it, there are rising concerns. Thoroughly revised and updated, this fourth edition of Concrete Mix Design, Quality Control and Specification addresses current industry practices that provide inadequate durability and fail to eliminate problems with underperforming new concrete and defective testing. Many specifications now require additional criteria in an attempt to improve durability or other properties. This book discusses the trend towards adding performance requirements to existing prescriptive specifications. It also explores the matter of prescription versus performance specification and especially the specification of non-strength-related performance such as durability. What’s new in the Fourth Edition: Examines water-to-cement ratio as a declining criterion of quality and durability Discusses the diminishing availability of suitable natural sands and growing industry concerns regarding the environmental impact of their use Considers advances in concrete admixtures and their ever-increasing use Advocates reliability of testing as a vital feature of the shift from prescriptive to performance specifications Addresses cement replacement materials as they relate to greenhouse gas and sustainability Concrete Mix Design, Quality Control and Specification explores producing, designing, controlling, or specifying concrete, and addresses issues related with sustainability and the impact of new concrete materials such as ready mixed geopolymers, magnesium oxide, and calcium carbonate. The text is an ideal resource for concrete technologists, producers and specifiers, and contractors on large projects

Engineered Concrete by Irving Kett Pdf

As every civil engineer knows, Portland Cement is the most versatile and important material of construction, and will probably remain so far into the future. Yet few books, if any, exist that offer an in-depth analysis of the mixing and testing methods of this vital hydraulic cement. This statement, written about the first edition of Engineere

Concrete Mixes by Anonim Pdf

The digest describes the different ways in which concrete can be specified, with particular reference to BS 5328 and to CP 110. It discusses the variability of concrete in production, the requirements for quality control and the statistical aspects of testing for compliance with a specification. It describes the main factors influencing the strength and workability of concrete in relation to the mix design method described in Design of normal concrete mixes. Materials for concrete are described in Digest 237. This digest replaces Digest 13 which is now withdrawn.

Engineering Modelling and Analysis by David Walker,Michael Leonard,Andrew Metcalfe,Martin Lambert Pdf

Introducing engineering students to numerical analysis and computing, this book covers a range of topics suitable for the first three years of a four year undergraduate engineering degree. The teaching of computing to engineers is hampered by the lack of suitable problems for the students to tackle, so much effort has gone into making the problems in this book realistic and relevant, while at the same time solvable for undergraduates. Taking a balanced approach to teaching computing and computer methods at the same time, this book satisfies the need to be able to use computers (using both formal languages such as Fortran and other applications such as Matlab and Microsoft Excel), and the need to be able to solve realistic engineering problems.

Concrete: Specification, design and quality control by Construction Research Communications Limited Pdf

Part 1. Concrete usually has to meet one or more of four functional requirements: strength, durability, fire protection and thermal insulation. The ability of concrete to meet specified requirements depends on the correct selection of materials as we as on good practice on site. There is a wide range of cements and aggregates from which to choose. This digest brings up to date the information about their main characteristics and the properties of concretes made from them. Part 2 of this Digest, No 326, describes specification, design and quality control of concrete. The two Digests together replace Digests 23 7 and 244 which are now withdrawn. Part 2. The digest describes ways in which concrete can be specified, with particular reference to BS 5328 and to BS 81 10. It discusses the variability of concrete in production, the requirements for quality control and the statistical aspects of testing for compliance with a specification. It describes the main factors influencing the strength and workability of concrete in relation to the mix design method described in Design of normal concrete mixes. Materials for concrete are described in Digest 325.
