Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

"High performance concrete (HPC) is of great topical interest to the construction industry worldwide, with applications in high-rise, offshore, nuclear and bridge structures, and in precast concrete. Among the benefits of HPC are: improved workability and strength, leading to faster and more economical construction; more durable concrete, especially important for bridges, offshore and nuclear structures, and highways; improved structural characteristics, which allow more economical and efficient structural designs. Structural designers and materials technologists need information on the properties and behaviour of this new material in order

to use it successfully and major programmes of research are

underway in many countries to meet this, including the USA,

Canada, Norway, Japan, Italy and France. The French National R & D Project, ""New Developments for Concrete"" is providing important insights into the materials characteristics of high performance concrete, and also of the structural behaviour of a number of major buildings and bridge structures. This book contains a series of 35 selected reviews and reports on HPC by the leading materials scientists and engineers contributing to the French programme. Previously, they have

only been available to delegates at seminars and meetings in France but the most valuable have been edited and translated into English in order to make the results of the programme widely available. The book will therefore be essential for

all those who need to keep fully up-to-date with developments in this exciting new area of construction activity."

Reviews for High Performance Concrete: From material to structure

'This publication constitutes proof that in the scientific field of high performance concretes there now exists a common language for the foundation of a common understanding between engineers and researchers.' - Structural Engineer
