Concrete Mix Design, Quality Control And Specification (3rd Edition)

摘要

Ken describes himself as an "evangelical concrete technologist", explaining that it is his religion and that he wanders around the world preaching it to all who will listen. So is this his 'bible' of Concrete Technology? Well, it is certainly not a book of reference, intended more for the reader who wants to think about concrete rather than "work by the book" as he describes. There is lots of advice taken from his considerable experience in industry worldwide (he is from Australia) and he presents his opinions on the subject rather than merely accepted practice.rnAn example of Ken's unique approach to Concrete Technology is his 'Cash PenaltyrnSpecification'. Basically, he proposes that if the delivered concrete falls below the specified level, the cost of the cement required to bring it up to specification is calculated and a cash penalty of twice that cost is imposed upon the supplier.
