Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures, 17th Edition

This reference manual, published by the Portland Cement Association and now in its 17th edition, provides comprehensive engineering-level coverage of concrete technology—including material selection (cement, aggregates, admixtures), mix design, batching, mixing, placing, finishing, curing, and performance issues such as durability, volume changes, and sustainability. It incorporates the latest standards and test methods from ASTM International, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and American Concrete Institute (ACI), and includes expanded content on innovations in concrete and common imperfections in concrete construction. It is especially useful for construction professionals, materials engineers, and certification candidates who require an up-to-date technical resource on concrete mixture design and application.
