This is a comprehensive and practical treasure-house of a book that covers myriads of practice-oriented issues which affect the quality of concrete structures. A practical and definitive method of mix-design is followed by the fundamentals of statistical quality control of concrete. It also contains comprehensive information on cracking of concrete structures, their repair and rehabilitation, including various materials and methods in use. This book could only be written by a thorough practising professional. From cover to cover the book is loaded with practical information that the class-room theorists are far from. It is written purely with practice-oriented field-engineering in mind. It will admirably serve as an invaluable guide for the practicing engineer responsible for the planning, execution and quality control of concrete in the field.
