Linking theory to practice, this book provides a better fundamental understanding of Portland cement and hydraulic binders which is necessary to make better concrete. It has been clearly demonstrated that concrete durability is closely linked to its water/binder ratio and proper curing during the first week after casting. In this rigorously presented work, Pierre-Claude Aïtcin explains the complexity of the hydration reaction and how to make, use and cure durable and sustainable concrete. This book also details the problems with Portland cement composition at present and outlines the concept of an ideal hydraulic binder which is technically and ecologically efficient, as well as being long-lasting and robust. Binders for Durable and Sustainable Concrete is a practical and innovative reference text which will be particularly relevant to engineers and chemists working in the Portland cement, concrete and admixture industries. This book will also be of interest to academics and graduate-level students in Civil Engineering departments who specialize in Portland cement and concrete technology.

Concrete is a material used widely in building and construction applications worldwide; hence, it plays a significant role in the global construction sector. Cement is a major component of concrete and is used in construction applications, either on its own or as a composite with other materials, to improve workability, durability, strength, weight, and shrinkage. However, cement and concrete production and use have adverse environmental effects. Thus, great efforts have been made to produce eco-friendly concrete. This book examines several aspects of sustainable concrete technologies, including new forms of concrete as well as different approaches for creating sustainable cement.

Based on the Institute of Concrete Technology's Advanced Concrete Technology Course, these four volumes are a comprehensive educational and reference resource for the concrete materials technologist. An expert international team of authors from research, academia and industry has been brought together to produce this unique series. Each volume deals with a different aspect of the subject: constituent materials, properties, processes and testing and quality. With worked examples, case studies and illustrations throughout, the books will be a key reference for the concrete specialist for years to come. - Expert international authorship ensures the series is authoritative - Case studies and worked examples help the reader apply their knowledge to practice - Comprehensive coverage of the subject gives the reader all the necessary reference material

This book presents the select proceedings of the International Conference on Structures, Materials and Construction (ICSMC 2021). It covers the recent developments and futuristic trends in the field of structural engineering and construction management, including new building materials and understanding their behavior. The topic covered also assess the current progress and state-of-the-art techniques in structural experimentation, smart materials, structures technology, principles of construction management, materials properties and characterization. The collection of papers included in this proceeding will contribute to scientific developments in the field of structural engineering and construction and will be a useful as reference material for the academicians, researchers and most importantly the student community pursuing research in the fields of structural engineering and construction technology.
