In addition, the scientific basis of the information provided is invaluable in planning research and in the interpretation of test results. He has very extensive international experience as a consultant and investigator of problems and failures in a variety of structures. Author : Adam M. Properties of Concrete Author : Adam M. Concrete Author : T. Concrete Materials, 2nd Ed. Fly Ash in Concrete Author : K. The overall effect is to give an integrated view of the properties of concrete so as to enable the reader to achieve the best possible construction in concrete.
In addition, the scientific basis of the information provided is invaluable in planning research and in the interpretation of test results. He has very extensive international experience as a consultant and investigator of problems and failures in a variety of structures. Adam Neville's reputation as a world leading expert on concrete technology is unquestioned. Here, he looks at a problem or an issue, and discusses the underlying scientific and technological aspects.
He describes this as looking at concrete through the wrong end of the telescope, which contributes to a better understanding of concrete practice. Neville Properties of Concrete [By] A. Neville Author : Adam M. Cement and concrete are of great interest to the construction and civil engineering communities.
This study provides an appreciation of the complex nature of these materials and a realization that most of the failures involving concrete constructions are preventable. The book has been translated into 12 languages and has sold well over half a million copies. The fifth edition has been updated to reflect advances in concrete technology over the past decade, yet it still retains the original aim of Professor Neville's book: to provide reliable, comprehensive and practical information on the properties and use of concrete, and the selection of mix proportions all based on scientific observations and the author's extensive engineering experience.
Adam Neville is a renowned international authority on concrete and author or co-author of nine other books, the latest of which are Neville on Concrete and Concrete: Neville's Insights and Issues, as well as over research and technical papers. Durability and service life design of concrete constructions have considerable socio-economic and environmental consequences, in which the permeability of concrete to aggressive intruders plays a vital role. It stresses the importance of site testing for a realistic durability assessment and details the "Torrent Method" for non-destructive measurement of air-permeability.
How to get a "mean" pore radius of concrete from gas-permeability tests? Why should permeability preferably be measured on site? How can service life of reinforced concrete structures be predicted by site testing of gas-permeability and cover thickness? Practitioners will find stimulating examples on how to predict the coming service life of new structures and the remaining life of existing structures, based on site testing of air-permeability and cover thickness.
Researchers will value theoretical principles, testing methods, as well as how test results reflect the influence of concrete mix composition and processing. This classic reference has established the value of petrography as a powerful method for the investigation of concrete as a material.
It provides an authoritative and well-illustrated review of concrete composition and textures, including the causes of defects, deterioration, and failure that can be identified using a petrological microscope. This new edition is entirely revised and updated and also greatly extended to take account of new scientific developments and significant improvements in instrumentation and to reflect current laboratory working practices, as well as to reflect new understanding of the performance of concrete and related materials.
