Manual of ready-mixed concrete
by J. D. Dewar
The new edition of this successful manual has been carefully revised throughout to take account of recent changes and to incorporate amendments required due to the publication of the revised BS 5328. This manual provides information on all aspects of the ready-mixed concrete industry, from the basic materials and their properties to the production, quality control and the use of ready-mixed concrete. The text is logically and carefully developed, commencing with materials and properties. Discussion of the qualities of concrete and the achievement of quality requirements leads to the consideration of specifying concrete qualities. Attention is then turned from production to delivery. The authors discuss arguments for choosing ready-mixed concrete, and deal with the fundamental issues of obtaining quotations, ordering and handling. While providing a detailed ready reference, this book also gives the reader a useful perspective on the industry as a whole, and on the requirements of those with whom they are dealing.
