Concrete is a composite material formed from coarse and fine construction aggregate amalgamated by fluid cement that hardens over time. When the construction aggregate is mixed with water and dry cement, it forms fluid slurry which is easy to be poured and molded into shapes. The cement forms a hard matrix by reacting with water and other ingredients. Concrete engineering is an interdisciplinary field of mathematics, science and construction technology to create safe and functional structures. Concrete engineering deals with the designing of structures that uses concrete. It engineers the construction of a variety of structures, such as bridges, roads, dams and buildings. This book elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary manner. The topics included herein are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
