Cement-Based Composites takes a different approach from most
other books in the field by viewing concrete as an advanced
composite material, and by considering the properties and behaviour
of cement-based materials from this stance. It deals particularly,
but not exclusively, with newer forms of cement-based materials.
This new edition takes a critical approach to the subject as well
as presenting up-to-date knowledge.
Emphasis is given to non-conventional reinforcement and design
methods, problems at the materials' interfaces and to the
durability of structures. High strength composites and novel forms
of cement-based composites are described in detail. After a basic
introduction the book explores the various components of these
materials and their properties. It then deals with mechanical
properties and considers characteristics under various loading and
environmental conditions, and concludes by examining design,
optimization and economics with particular emphasis on
high-performance concretes. Researchers, graduate students and
practising engineers will find this book valuable.
