  1 Advancements in Concrete Technology
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: June 1999
Author(s): P. K. Mehta
    In terms of advancements in concrete technology, the driving forces have been durability and speed of construction. However, the environmental impact of construction materials is becoming an increasingly important driver. In this paper, Mehta evaluates concrete technologies, using the criteria of construction speed, durability, and environmental im...[more]
