Along with the growing construction field, concrete has become one of the most needed materials in modern construction. The advantages that concrete has become a good value in the field of construction. Innovation in concrete technology in modern construction needs to be done to meet the increasing needs of construction development and overcome the weaknesses that occur in concrete. The innovat…
Concrete is a very important element and is widely used in various construction work industries, but concrete has a weakness: its specific gravity is quite large (2200 – 2500 kg/m3). In concrete, aggregate occupies 60% -80% of the concrete volume, affecting the specific gravity of the concrete. Using lightweight aggregate is one way to reduce weight and increase the strength and durability of…

Covering an extensive laboratory campaign to evaluate the transport properties of concrete samples, as well as their physical and chemical composition using advanced techniques to analyse cores extracted from real buildings that have concret…
This textbook imparts a firm understanding of the behavior of prestressed concrete and how it relates to design based on the 2014 ACI Building Code. It presents the fundamental behavior of prestressed concrete and then adapts this to the design of structures. The book focuses on prestressed concrete members including slabs, beams, and axially loaded members and provides computational examples t…
The State-of-the-Art Report of RILEM Technical Committee 228-MPS on Mechanical properties of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) summarizes an extensive body of information related to mechanical properties and mechanical behaviour of SCC. Due attention is given to the fact that the composition of SCC varies significantly. A wide range of mechanical properties are considered, including compressive st…
This book was written to facilitate column sizing and reinforcement design for structural engineers. It arranges the design data in a clearly structured manner, and provides quick and easy ways for engineers to compare the feasibility of multiple alternatives (various column sizes and reinforcement configurations). With the help of this book, engineers can rapidly produce outputs for architects…
This book presents the work done by the RILEM Technical Committee 227-HPB (Physical properties and behaviour of High-Performance Concrete at high temperature). It contains the latest research results on the modelling of concrete behaviour at high temperature. Some monographs on the subject have been published already but generally they do not cover the whole range of possibilities which are enc…
This book offers a new calculation procedure of the structural behavior of grouped layout of silos, easy to use and with satisfactory responses. Groups of reinforced concrete silos are structures commonly used in the food industry, where it is usually necessary to separate the storage of different types and sources of grain. The grouped layout of silos has numerous benefits when compared …

The study was conducted on the effect of w/b on SCC concrete with palm oil fuel ash (POFA). Variations of W/B used in the compositions of SCC were 0.325, 0.350, and 0.375. Meanwhile, the POFA used is 10% of cement total. The results showed that the variation of w/b and the use of POFA affected the workability of the concrete, that could be seen from the test of fresh concrete in the form of slu…
