Design And Control of Concrete Mixtures

Portland Cement Association's 14th edition of "Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures" has been released in a 350 page book.

This book presents the properties of concrete as needed in concrete construction, including strength and durability. All concrete ingredients (cementing materials, water, aggregates, admixtures, and fibers) are reviewed for their optimal use in designing and proportioning concrete mixtures. Applicable ASTM, AASHTO, and ACI standards are referred to extensively.

The use of concrete from design to batching, mixing, transporting, placing, consolidating, finishing, and curing is addressed. Special concretes, including high-performance concretes, are also reviewed.
