About this book
ICE Core Concepts: Low Carbon Cements and Concrete for Construction is an accessible introduction to cement and concrete, focusing on recent developments and trends in low-carbon concrete materials and technologies used in construction. This concise reference illustrates complex cement chemistry in a simplified form and explains how different types of cement and their alternatives can be tailored to mitigate durability issues. Features include concise overviews, illustrative diagrams, practice questions and further reading.
Coverage includes
- basic concepts of cement and concrete
- concrete strength and challenges: mechanisms behind concrete strength development, and complex construction-related issues such as concrete behaviour in hot and cold conditions
- concrete degradation and strategies to enhance durability
- supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), lower carbon concrete & related issues
- impacts of contaminated ground and material conditions on concrete performance
- available cement alternatives
- low carbon concrete technologies: technological basics, common barriers and possible issues.
ICE Core Concepts: Low Carbon Cements and Concrete for Construction offers broad coverage in an accessible format and is ideal reading for both student and graduate engineers seeking a concise overview of this area.
