This title is based on the workshop on Transport Properties & Concrete Quality, held at the campus of Arizona State University on October 10-12, 2005. During this meeting, scientific aspects of the relevant relationships between materials, mechanisms, processes, and service life were discussed.

This volume contains papers on phase composition and quantitative x ray powder diffraction analysis of Portland cement and clinker; neutron diffraction and neutron scattering studies of cement; scanning probe microscopy: a new view of the mineral surface; and, the stereological and statistical properties of entrained air voids in concrete.

This book is a collection of papers from the symposium honoring Professor Sidney Diamond of the School of Civil Engineering, Purdue University, one of the leading scholars in the field of concrete science.

This volume contains ten invited presentations on the topic of sulfate attack caused by external sulfate sources. The discussions concentrate on chemical and physical mechanistic aspects of the applicable sulfate-to-paste reactions and on the interrelationships between the internal (e.g.

This workshop brought together representatives from different areas of the cement and concrete community to discuss future trends and challenges in the field of concrete materials.

The world's infrastructure is largely built of concrete. With growing populations in the developing countries of the world, such as India, and with the decay of existing infrastructure in developed countries, such as the U.S. , the need for new materials with improved properties has become as imperative now as ever.

This seventh volume of the Materials Science of Concrete series presents carefully selected state-of-the-art reviews on selected topics relevant to concrete and cement. This collection of new developments and information in the field of cement-based materials is a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and academics interested in concrete.

Contains 17 papers presented at past Anna Maria Workshops. Topics include The Future of the Cement and Concrete Industries, Testing and Standards for Concrete Durability, and Designing Concrete for Durability. .

This volume provides broad coverage of key issues related to the role of calcium hydroxide in cements and concrete.
