Advanced Concrete Technology A thorough grounding in the science of concrete combined with the latest developments in the rapidly evolving field of concrete technology In the newly revised second edition of Advanced Concrete Technology, a distinguished team of academics and engineers delivers a state-of-the-art exploration of modern and advanced concrete technologies developed during the last decade. The book combines the essential concepts and theory of concrete with practical examples of material design, composition, processing, characterization, properties, and performance. The authors explain, in detail, the hardware and software of concrete, and offer readers discussions of the most recent advances in concrete technology, including, but not limited to, concrete recycling, nanotechnology, microstructural simulation, additive manufacturing, and non-destructive testing methods. This newest edition of Advanced Concrete Technology provides a sustained emphasis on sustainable and novel technologies, like new binders, 3D printing, and other advanced materials and techniques. Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to concrete, including its definition and its historical evolution as a material used in engineering and constructionIn-depth explorations of the materials for making concrete and the properties of fresh concreteComprehensive discussions of the material structure of concrete, hardened concrete, and advanced cementitious compositesFulsome treatments of concrete fracture mechanics, non-destructive testing in concrete engineering, and future trends in concretePerfect for undergraduate and graduate students studying civil or materials engineering—especially those taking classes in the properties of concrete or concrete technologies—as well as engineers in the concrete industry. Advanced Concrete Technology, 2nd Edition will also earn a place in the libraries of civil and materials engineers working in the industry.

This book demonstrates how modern concrete performs when the environment pushes it to the limit.Today’s buildings must withstand far more than everyday wear and tear from accidental impacts and explosions to extreme weather, chemical exposure, and seismic events. As the demands on structures grow, so does the need for reliable, science‑based guidance on designing concrete that can endure these challenges.This book brings together real‑world insights from experts working at the forefront of concrete performance in extreme conditions. It highlights what happens when materials are pushed beyond conventional expectations and offers practical knowledge for designers, engineers, and construction professionals who must ensure long‑term safety and durability.Key points:Includes accounts of concrete in severe environments, showing how it behaves under rare and extreme conditions.Provides clear explanations of why material failures occur.Gives expert guidance on designing and monitoring concrete structures exposed to fatigue, corrosion, de‑icing salts, buried environments, geothermal conditions, and biogenic reactions.Plenty of case studies from nuclear waste storage to large dams, offering lessons that can be applied across a wide range of projects.By combining scientific understanding with professional experience, this book provides a practical resource for anyone involved in creating concrete structures that must stand up to the unexpected.
