Advanced Concrete Technology

A thorough grounding in the science of concrete combined with the latest developments in the rapidly evolving field of concrete technology

In the newly revised second edition of Advanced Concrete Technology, a distinguished team of academics and engineers delivers a state-of-the-art exploration of modern and advanced concrete technologies developed during the last decade. The book combines the essential concepts and theory of concrete with practical examples of material design, composition, processing, characterization, properties, and performance.

The authors explain, in detail, the hardware and software of concrete, and offer readers discussions of the most recent advances in concrete technology, including, but not limited to, concrete recycling, nanotechnology, microstructural simulation, additive manufacturing, and non-destructive testing methods.

This newest edition of Advanced Concrete Technology provides a sustained emphasis on sustainable and novel technologies, like new binders, 3D printing, and other advanced materials and techniques. Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to concrete, including its definition and its historical evolution as a material used in engineering and construction
• In-depth explorations of the materials for making concrete and the properties of fresh concrete
• Comprehensive discussions of the material structure of concrete, hardened concrete, and advanced cementitious composites
• Fulsome treatments of concrete fracture mechanics, non-destructive testing in concrete engineering, and future trends in concrete

Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students studying civil or materials engineering--especially those taking classes in the properties of concrete or concrete technologies--as well as engineers in the concrete industry. Advanced Concrete Technology, 2nd Edition will also earn a place in the libraries of civil and materials engineers working in the industry.

先進混凝土技術

混凝土科學的全面基礎，結合快速發展的混凝土技術領域的最新發展

在新修訂的第二版《先進混凝土技術》中，一個傑出的學術和工程團隊提供了對近十年來發展的現代和先進混凝土技術的最新探索。本書結合了混凝土的基本概念和理論，並提供了材料設計、組成、加工、表徵、性能和性能的實際例子。

作者詳細解釋了混凝土的硬體和軟體，並向讀者介紹了混凝土技術的最新進展，包括但不限於混凝土回收利用、納米技術、微結構模擬、添加劑製造和非破壞性測試方法。

這本最新版的《先進混凝土技術》持續強調可持續和新穎技術，如新型粘結劑、3D列印和其他先進材料和技術。讀者還將找到：

• 對混凝土的全面介紹，包括其定義和作為工程和建築材料的歷史演變
• 對製造混凝土的材料和新鮮混凝土性質的深入探討
• 對混凝土材料結構、硬化混凝土和先進水泥基復合材料的全面討論
• 對混凝土斷裂力學、混凝土工程中的非破壞性測試和混凝土未來趨勢的詳細介紹

非常適合學習土木工程或材料工程的本科和研究生學生，特別是那些修讀混凝土性質或混凝土技術課程的學生，以及從事混凝土行業的工程師。《先進混凝土技術，第二版》也將成為從事工業土木和材料工程的工程師的圖書館中的重要參考資料。
