The book is based on the syllabus and learning objectives devised by the Institute of

Concrete Technology for the Advanced Concrete Technology (ACT) course. The first

ACT course was held in 1968 at the Fulmer Grange Training Centre of the Cement and

Concrete Association (now the British Cement Association). Following a re-organization

of the BCA the course was presented at Imperial College London from 1982 to 1986 and

at Nottingham University from 1996 to 2002. With advances in computer-based

well as being a reference document in its own right, provides the core material for the new

ACT course and is divided into four volumes covering the following general areas:
