Whilst most structures made using concrete and cement-based composites have not shown signs of premature degradation, there have been notable exceptions. In add

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

This is the first book on Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), an advanced concrete material attracting world-wide attention in both the academic community

Advanced cementitious composites can be designed to have outstanding combinations of strength (five to ten times that of conventional concrete) and energy absor

Among all building materials, concrete is the most commonly used-and there is a staggering demand for it. However, as we strive to build taller structures with
