About this listen

 A concrete construction engineering handbook, offering a detailed technical overview of the field's state-of-the-art practices across various stages of a project's life cycle. The content begins by explaining fundamental material science and mix design, covering Portland cement, constituent materials, and the use of supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash and silica fume for high-performance concrete. Significant attention is paid to advanced construction applications, including the complex analysis of formwork and shoring loads during construction and methods for working with specialized materials like Roller-Compacted Concrete for mass placements such as dams. The source also covers structural systems and loading, detailing everything from deep foundations to the specific design and repair of post-tensioned concrete structures. Finally, the text addresses quality assurance and evaluation, reviewing different nondestructive test methods used to estimate in-place strength and detect flaws in hardened concrete.
