THE CHEMISTRY OF CEMENTAND CONCRETE, Third EditionF.M LEAThe advances in the chemistry and physics ofcements led to the necessity for this third edition.Lea’s book deals with the chemical and physicalproperties of cements and concretes and theirrelation to the practical problems that arise in theirmanufacture and use.It will be of great interest not only to thechemist involved in the science and technologyof silicate materials but also to those usingconcrete in building and civil engineering construction.Attention is given to problems arisingin the use of concrete, from the suitability ofmaterials, to the conditions under which concretemay deteriorate and the precautionaryor remedial measures that can be adopted. It iswell illustrated with line drawings, tables andphotographs.PARTIAL CONTENTS: History of calcareous cements; Classification of cements; Portland cements:Raw materials and manufacturing processes; Cementcomponents and their phase relations; Cementingqualities of the cement compounds; Constitution,burning, proportioning, hydration and setting andhardening of Portland cement; Structure of cementcompounds; Action of acid and sulphate waters ofPortland Cement; Physical and mechanical propertiesof Portland Cement, Pozzolanas and Pozzolanic cements; Cements made from blast furnace slag; High Aluminacement, some special cements and cementproperties; Concrete aggregates; Resistance of Concrete tovarious organic and inorganic agents; Examinationof concrete failures.
