This book was released on 1990 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aggregate intrinsic strength, particularly that of coarse aggregates, receives scant attention from concrete technologists and researchers as long as the w/c ratio falls within the 0.50-to-0.70 range, primarily due to the fact that the cement-aggregate bond or the hydrated cement paste fail long before aggregates do.

Download or read book Concrete Petrography written by Alan Poole and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic reference has established the value of petrography as a powerful method for the investigation of concrete as a material. It provides an authoritative and well-illustrated review of concrete composition and textures, including the causes of defects, deterioration, and failure that can be identified using a petrological microscope. This new edition is entirely revised and updated and also greatly extended to take account of new scientific developments and significant improvements in instrumentation and to reflect current laboratory working practices, as well as to reflect new understanding of the performance of concrete and related materials. Now in full color throughout, Concrete Petrography, Second Edition provides case study examples, with appropriate explanatory discussions and practical advice on selecting, handling and preparing specimens. It assists and guides the engineer, the trainee and the experienced petrographer in understanding the scientific evidence that is basic to petrographic analysis and so will lead to more accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment of problems in structural concrete. This book includes: Contributions in specialist areas by internationally recognized experts Explanation of computer techniques as an aid to petrography Full coverage of inspection, sampling, and specimen preparation New sections covering recent technological development of equipment Guidance on observation of cement and concrete mineralogy and microfabrics Discussion and illustrative examples of deterioration and failure mechanisms New work and guidance on the determination of water/cement ratio New color illustrations and micrographs throughout Thorough updating of standards, other authoritative publications, and references A fully revised, extended, and updated glossary of optical and other properties

Download or read book Concrete Petrography written by D. St John and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-01-30 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second part of the book, the chemical, the mineralogical composition and the microfabrics of concretes and related materials are discussed. An illustrated guide to the features that can be observed and identified using a petrological microscope is given. There is an extensive review of the defects, deterioration and failures which can occur in concrete together with the observations and petrographic evidence relating to them. Extensive use has been made of illustrative examples in colour which together with appropriate discussion will assist the engineer as well as both the trainee and experienced petrographer in understanding the nature of the evidence which is basic to petrographic analysis. An extensive glossary of optical and other properties of minerals found in concretes completes this practical handbook.
Download or read book High Strength Concrete written by Michael A. Caldarone and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical book from a highly experienced author presents clearly the means and methods for designing, producing and using high-strength concrete. High-strength concrete offers many benefits. Higher compressive strengths allow for a reduction in the cross-sectional dimensions of columns and walls in buildings. Its greater stiffness allows for increasing building heights while controlling sway and occupant comfort. Civil structures such as bridges have benefited from greater span lengths, shallower beam sections, wider girder spacing, and extended service life. Illustrated with real life examples, through documented case histories, High-Strength Concrete will be a valuable resource for contractors, producers, inspection agencies, as well as engineers and researchers.
Download or read book Petrographic and Mineralogic Characteristics of Aggregates written by Richard C. Mielenz and published by . This book was released on 1948 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The petrographic and mineralogic characteristics and geologic occurrence of rock formations and sand and gravel deposits determine the composition, gradation, and quality of aggregates. Thus, because of their several modes of origin--igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic--rock formations present different problems to the quarryman and produce aggregates of differing serviceability. The suitability of natural aggregates for any purpose also depends upon the geologic processes involved in their formation and subsequent history. Petrographic and mineralogic composition and internal texture and structure of the particles control the physical and chemical properties of the aggregate. Consequently, the suitability of aggregates for proposed uses can be evaluated by petrographic methods. The physical properties of particles important to the quality of aggregate are: porosity, permeability, and absorption; surface texture; volume change with wetting and drying; thermal characteristics; strength and elasticity; density; hardness; shape; and coatings. The important chemical properties are: solubility, susceptibility to oxidation, hydration, and carbonation; and reactivity with constituents of portland cement. The interrelation of petrographic character and serviceability of concrete aggregate is demonstrated by several case histories.
