This volume contains a collection of peer-reviewed papers addressing durability and integrity of high-performance, high-strength and mass concrete by predicting and preventing the cracking due to thermal stresses and shrinkage at the early age.

This volume contains a collection of peer-reviewed papers addressing durability and integrity of high-performance, high-strength and mass concrete by predicting and preventing the cracking due to thermal stresses and shrinkage at the early age.

48 papers are subdivided into seven chapters: Production, technology and properties; Pore structure and properties; Heat and mass transfer; Crack formation and durability; Reinforced components; Masonry; Ecology and new developments. A comprehensive bibliography on research, technology and applications of autoclaved aerated concrete with 332 references is included. The present state of knowledge on specific properties and ecological aspects of an interesting building material is outlined.
