Full title :High-strength concrete : a practical guide / Michael A. Caldarone.

Summary

"High-strength concrete offers many benefits. Higher compressive strengths allow for a reduction in the cross-sectional dimensions of columns and walls in buildings. Its greater stiffness allows for increasing building heights while controlling sway and occupant comfort. Civil structures such as bridges have benefited from greater span lengths, shallower beam sections, wider girder spacing, and extended service life." "High-Strength Concrete is illustrated with real world examples through documented case histories, and provides an understanding of the practical means and methods for designing, producing, and using high-strength concrete. It will suit contractors, producers, inspection agencies, as well as engineers and researchers."--Jacket.
