内容説明
Inadequate control of concrete often causes expensive delays and disputes during construction. This book shows how the use of computers and high-tech batching equipment can reduce costs and improve efficiency in controlling both ordinary and high performance concrete. It presents simple, original philisophies which have veen developed by the author and used to improve design and control on straightforward and advanced construction projects. Its direct and practical approach eill be stimulating and challenging for th novice and advanced concrete technologist.
