This book provides the essential foundational knowledge of today's concrete technology. Based on both old and new scientific findings and a wealth of experience, the author clearly explains the fundamentals and application rules of concrete technology. The second edition of this foundational work has been revised based on Eurocode 2 and current DAfSt guidelines. Contents include: concrete-compliant constructions, cements, aggregates and additives, corrosion protection, frost, chemical attacks, alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and late ettringite formation, mix design for various requirements, production and placement of concrete, protection, curing and monitoring, constructive technological and execution-specific features (roads, water and wastewater constructions, bridges, parking garages, water-impermeable structures, bored piles, and foundations).
