Download or read book Concrete Mix Design Quality Control and Specification written by Ken W. Day and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2006-08-10 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Concrete Specification design and quality control written by Construction Research Communications Limited and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 The two Digests together replace Digests 23 7 and 244 which are now withdrawn.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.

Download or read book Concrete Mix Design Quality Control and Specification Fourth Edition written by Ken W. Day and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

Download or read book Performance Based Specifications and Control of Concrete Durability written by Hans Beushausen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work gives an overview of significant research from recent years concerning performance-based design and quality control for concrete durability and its implementation. In engineering practice, performance approaches are often still used in combination with prescriptive requirements. This is largely because, for most durability test methods, sufficient practical experience still has to be gained before engineers and owners are prepared to fully rely on them. This book, compiled by RILEM TC 230-PSC, is intended to assist efforts to successfully build the foundation for the full implementation of performance-based approaches through the exchange of relevant knowledge and experience between researchers and practitioners worldwide.

Download or read book Durability of Concrete written by Mark Alexander and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an up-to-date survey of durability issues, with a particular focus on specification and design, and how to achieve durability in actual concrete construction. It is aimed at the practising engineer, but is also a valuable resource for graduate-level programs in universities. Along with background to current philosophies it gathers together in one useful reference a summary of current knowledge on concrete durability, includes information on modern concrete materials, and shows how these materials can be combined to produce durable concrete. The approach is consistent with the increasing focus on sustainability that is being addressed by the concrete industry, with the current emphasis on ‘design for durability’.
