Ravindra Dhi, Peter Hewlett, "Concrete in the Service of Mankind: Radical concrete technology: Proceedings of the International Conference Held at the University of Dundee, … June 1996: Radical Concrete Technology Vol 4"

This fourth volume of Concrete in the Service of Mankind focuses on radical concrete technology.

Concrete is ubiquitous and unique, and is found in every developed and developing country. Indeed, there are no alternatives to concrete as a volume construction material for infrastructure. This raises important questions of how concrete should be designed and constructed for cost effective use in the the short and long term, and to encourage further radical development. Equally, it must be environmentally friendly during manufacture, in an aesthetic presentation in structures and in the containment of harmful materials. This book should be of interest to concrete technologists; contractors; civil engineers; consultants; government agencies; research organizations.
