In excellent condition. Dust jacket included if applicable, no writing or markings, book is crisp and clean. 100% satisfaction guarantee. Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. I hand inspect every item. --- As mix formulations grow more intricate through the inclusion of chemical admixtures, fibres, and pozzolanic or supplementary binders, traditional proportioning methods have become inadequate for predicting concrete behaviour. François de Larrard presents a structured analytical framework, drawing on packing theory and rheological principles, to address performance criteria including workability, mechanical strength, durability, and long-term deformation. Part of the Modern Concrete Technology series, the volume moves from foundational models of granular systems to applied procedures suited for designing both conventional and high-performance concretes.

About this title

Synopsis

The design of concrete mixes is becoming increasingly complex, with the addition of new materials in the compounds, such as organic admixtures, fibres and supplementary cementitious materials. Moreover, the list of properties which concretes are required to possess for certain applications has increased, and interest is developing in rheology, durability, deformability and whole-life behaviour. This book presents a number of simple models for the understanding of a concrete system, and provides the techniques for developing more sophisticated models for the practical design of concrete mixes.
