Engineered Concrete: Mix Design and Test Methods, Second Edition

A technical foundation for civil engineering and construction students to master the design and evaluation of Portland cement and concrete. Author Irving Kett details the specific physical and chemical properties of these materials while emphasizing the practical necessity of laboratory testing. The text outlines standardized mix design procedures using both the SI and U.S. Customary systems, ensuring readers can calculate precise material proportions. Furthermore, it incorporates various ASTM standards for assessing aggregates, cement mortars, and hardened concrete specimens. By bridging theoretical knowledge with hands-on experimentation, the source serves as a comprehensive guide for achieving structural performance and economic efficiency in construction.
