With ten new chapters for a total of 36, this second edition
handbook encompasses developments of the 10 years since the first
edition, bringing essential information to engineers and construction
designers in a convenient one-volume reference. Coverage includes the
latest advances in materials (constituents, design of mixtures, special
applications); reinforced concrete construction (long-term effects such
as creep and shrinkage, loading effects, formwork and falsework
proportioning, automation); specialized construction (e.g. prestressed
concrete construction in building and transportation facilities, seismic
zones, marine structures); design recommendations for high performance;
and specialized topics on new materials.
