Advanced Concrete Technology





Concrete is the most widely used material in the world. It plays an important role in infrastructure

and private buildings construction. Understanding the basic behaviors of concrete is essential for

civil engineering students to become civil engineering professionals. There have been some very

good books regarding concrete, including Concrete by Mindess, Young, and Darwin, Concrete:

Structure, Properties, and Materials by Mehta and Monteriro, and Concrete Technology by

Neville and Brook. The motivation to write this book is to introduce new methodologies, new

developments, and new innovations in concrete technology. The unique features of this book

include the introduction of end use guided research strategy for concrete, unification of materials

and structures studies, and an emphasize on fundamental exploration of concrete structures,

state of art of concrete development, and innovations. This book provides more comprehensive

knowledge on concrete technology, including the systematic introduction of concrete fracture

mechanics and nondestructive evaluation for concrete engineering.
