Cement: Principles of Production and Use

Description: Friedrich W. Locher's Cement: Principles of Production and Use is the eagerly-awaited English translation (and update) of the original German 2nd edition issued in 2000. Along with Taylor's Chemistry of Cement, Lea's Chemistry of Cement and Concrete, and PCA's Innovations in Cement Manufacture, this will be an essential reference for all cement industry professionals, students, and researchers. The author, head of the cement chemistry and cement technology department at the German Cement Works Association, has produced an encyclopedic and reader-friendly text on the processing, performance, and application of cement today. He has also incorporated the changes in standards and environmental regulations introduced since the original 2000 edition. Researchers will find the book's 88 pages of references an invaluable resource for additional study
