This textbook is intended for students of engineering, building management, quantity surveying and architecture as well as for practitioners who require a working knowledge of concrete. Covering the properties of fresh and hardened concrete, mix proportioning, quality control, construction practice, sand-cement mixes and appearance of concrete, each chapter starts at a practical level and progresses to the more theoretical. This makes it convenient for readers to decide how deeply into each aspect they wish to delve.Author: Gill Owens
