PRECAST CONCRETE MATERIALS, MANUFACTURE, PROPERTIES AND USAGE

INTRODUCTION
This book is intended to meet the need for a general treatise on precast concrete, as the last relevant book on this subject was published in 1961. Since then there have been several publications dealing with particular parts of the subject which serve as useful back-up reading, but[r]

8.3.2. Staining agencies
In addition to rust, bitumen and organic residues concrete is subject to other staining sources such as copper, aluminium, zinc and algae or lichen growth. Most chemical stains can be removed, or mostly removed, by standard chemical treatments, and thi[r]

seen in the calculation in Section 7.3.2 that water has five times the specific heat of any of the other main concrete ingredients. A kilogram of water at 50°C has five times the amount of available heat as the same weight of aggregate or cement at the same temperature. Therefore, one of the most[r]
