Kett (civil engineering, California State U.-Los Angeles) informs students of civil engineering and construction technology about two of the most important materials of construction, beginning by distinguishing between them: Portland cement is a powder, he says, and Portland cement concrete is born plastic but spends most of its life solid. He explains how concrete batches are designed, mixed, and measured for various consistencies; and how the primary component materials of concrete--Portland cement, aggregates, and mortar--are tested using some of the fundamental testing procedures that conform to the standards of the American Society for Testing Materials. He appends sample course outlines for both a 10-week academic quarter and a 15-week academic semester. No date is cited for the first edition.
