Portland Cement is one of the most traditional of 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 optimising the
use of Portland cement in high quality concrete, have continued to
sustain interest in this important material. The 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 third edition of Portland Cement is fully revised and
updated to include the latest British and European Standards for
cement and associated test methods as well as recent advances in
cement chemistry. It also reflects the emergence of nanoscience
applications in cement science and the increased awareness of
issues of sustainability.
