Drawing
together a multinational team of authors, this second edition of Structure and Performance of Cements highlights
the latest global advances in the field of cement technology.
Three broad categories are covered: basic materials and methods, cement
extenders, and techniques of examination. Within these categories consideration
has been given to environmental issues such as the use of waste materials in
cement-burning as supplementary fuels and new and improved methods of
instrumentation for examining structural aspects and performance of cements. This
book also covers cement production, mineralogy and hydration, as well as the
mechanical properties of cement, and the corrosion and durability of
cementitious systems. Special cements are included, along with calcium
aluminate and blended cements together with a consideration of the role of gypsum
in cements. Structure and Performance of Cements is an
invaluable key reference for academics, researchers and practitioners alike.
