Concrete Structures: Materials, Maintenance, and Repair (Concrete Design and Construction Series)

Intended for those people who have some familiarity with concrete and concrete construction, this text examines concrete design and construction, quality assurance, influences on serviceability and reinforcement in concrete. The authors provide an understanding of present-day problems of achieving sound concrete construction and of remedying the defects in unsound concrete. Other books in this series on concrete design and construction include "Concrete Radiation Shielding: Nuclear Physics, Concrete Properties and Construction" and "Quality in Precast Concrete: Design - Production - Supervision".
