The properties of concrete as needed in concrete construction, including strength and durability, are presented in this book. In terms of their optimal use in designing and proportioning concrete mixtures, all concrete ingredients (cementing materials, water, aggregates, admixtures, and fibers) are reviewed. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and Association of the Cement Industries (ACI) standards are extensively referred to, as applicable. Also addressed is the use of concrete from design to batching, mixing, transporting, placing, consolidating, finishing, and curing. Reviewed as well are concrete sustainability, along with special concretes, including high-performance concretes.
