This book mainly focus on fundamentals of the subject concrete technology such as hydration of cement, cement types, concrete making materials, workability, hardened properties of concrete, durability, mix design, chemical and mineral admixtures, special concretes, high performance concrete, self-compacting concrete, non-destructive testing, waste materials in concrete. This book has been written in a more comprehensive and concise manner suitable for undergraduate students. Moreover, recent and advanced topics have also been included for which students have to refer foreign books quite often. Inclusion of some recent topics particularly self-compacting concrete, high performance concrete, technology of concrete, some sophisticated and special techniques in concrete technology, use of waste materials in concrete are definitely some of the attractions of the book. This comprehensive book will serve as a text and guide book to undergraduate and even postgraduate students, concrete technologists, material scientists, practicing engineers and all users of concrete.
