Description

This new edition provides a comprehensively updated survey of advances in the field of cement technology. A multi-dimensional team of leading authors has been carefully drawn together to give a global perspective to the subject.The book covers cement production; mineralogy and hydration; as well as the mechanical properties of cement and the corrosion and durability of cementitious systems. Special cements are included; along with calcium aluminate and blended cements. Further chapters are concerned with cement paste rheology; gypsum in cements; and toxic and radioactive waste encapsulation. Particular attention is given to environmental considerations; such as the use of waste materials in cement burning and in the production of blended cements. New and improved methods of instrumentation for examining the structure and performance of cements are described.
