This edition of Residential Concrete covers everything the home builder needs to know about high-quality concreting. While not a training manual, the book describes the basic techniques and provides guidelines for ordering ready-mixed concrete, working with admixtures (such as accelerators, retarders, water-reducers, and high-range water reducers), forming, jointing, curing and controlling basement leakage. Many sections include detailed illustrations. In revising and updating this third edition, special attention has been paid to new developments in finishing walls, expansion joints, and bending and lapping rebars. Two new chapters, on flowable fill and safety, have been added. A list of sources for additional information and a glossary of basic concrete terminology have been expanded. Contents: * Acknowledgements * Chapter 1: Understanding Concrete * Chapter 2: Building Siting & Layout * Chapter 3: Forming * Chapter 4: The Concrete * Chapter 5: Jointing, Reinforcing & Curing * Chapter 6: Concrete Problems * Chapter 7: Special Finishes * Chapter 8: Flowable Fill * Chapter 9: Safety in Residential Concrete Construction * Glossary of Basic Concrete Terminology * Sources of Additional Information |
