Properties of Concrete
Bok av Adam M Neville
Since its first publication in 1963, Properties of Concrete has been
internationally acclaimed as the definitive work of reference on the
subject for both the professional and the student engineer. The book
has been translated into 12 languages and has sold well over half a
million copies
The fifth edition has been updated to reflect advances in concrete technology over the past decade,
yet it still retains the original aim of Professor Nevilles book: to provide reliable, comprehensive and
practical information on the properties and use of concrete, and the selection of mix proportions all
based on scientific observations and the authors extensive engineering experience. The emphasis
throughout is on understanding the behaviour of concrete and relating it to physical and chemical
phenomena involved in the performance of the material in service. The overall effect is to give an
integrated view of the properties of concrete so as to enable the reader to achieve the best possible
construction in concrete. In addition, the scientific basis of the information provided is invaluable in
planning research and in the interpretation of test results.
new material includes such topics as self-compacting (self-consolidating) concrete, recycled concrete
aggregate, thaumasite sulfate attack, compactability test, and delayed ettringite formation
standards, both American (ASTM) and British/European updated to 2010 are used
both SI and American (Imperial) units are used throughout
includes 1500 full references to the worlds literature on concrete and its constituents
an extensive subject index containing over 6000 entries provides excellent ease of reference
a full name index makes it possible to establish the contribution of individual researchers
