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 should be of interest to construction site managers and supervisors; concrete technologist; testing organisations. It covers steel reinforcement, batching and mixing, readymix, handling and transporting, pumping, placing, curing, QC, precast, prestressed, special techniques, repair and some background mathematics.

This book provides an extensive list of factors that should be considered on all construction related projects, whilst highlighting, with the aid of worked examples, the key areas that will make the most significant contribution to success. It also provides details on the very latest UK legislation. Including the recent CDM Regulations and European Directives, it: provides a framework for the development of pro-active management of Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) in the construction industry; describes a systematic approach to construction SHE management which promotes continuing improvement in SHE performance in all construction activities; and defines the minimum She objectives to be considered during each construction activity.
