Portland Cement, Second Edition: Composition, Production and Properties
1999,
230 pages
$102.80
Portland cement is one of the most traditional construction materials. Rising costs of the energy required for its manufacture and the increasing interest in understanding the mechanisms of concrete deterioration, as well as the importance of optimizing the use of Portland cement in high quality concrete, have continued to sustain interest in this important material. This second edition of this popular book provides an up-to-date introduction to the raw materials and manufacturing processes of Portland cement. It gives an introductory account of cement composition, manufacture, quality assessment, hydration and the resulting microstructure-physical property relationships, and some mechanisms of the chemical degradation of hardened cement paste. The book is a helpful guide, introducing the cement and concrete industries. Brief contents: Introduction: nomenclature and composition of Portland cement; Raw materials; Clinker production processes; Energy considerations; Techniques of clinker characterization; Grinding, fineness and particle size; Distribution of cement; Test of quality; Heat of hydration; Hydration chemistry and reaction rates; Microstructure and physical properties of hardened cement paste; European classification of Portland cements; Composition and properties of blended cements; Some special cements
