Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures, 17th Edition by Michelle L. Wilson and Paul D. Tennis – Paperback (ISBN: 9780893122805)

By Michelle L. Wilson and Paul D. Tennis

Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures, 17th Edition by Michelle L. Wilson and Paul D. Tennis is a definitive Portland Cement Association reference for concrete technology, materials selection, mixture proportioning, production, quality control, durability, testing, construction practice, and sustainability. Long recognized as a core industry text, this edition provides practical guidance for understanding how cementitious materials, aggregates, admixtures, water, mixture design, curing, testing, and field control affect concrete performance.

Designed for civil engineering departments, construction management programs, materials engineering courses, concrete technology programs, ready-mix producers, contractors, structural engineering firms, DOT and public works agencies, testing laboratories, technical training programs, university libraries, and institutional procurement teams, this reference supports classroom instruction, professional training, field practice, and technical decision-making in concrete materials and construction.

What This Book Does

This book explains how to design, proportion, produce, place, cure, test, and control concrete mixtures for consistent performance. It connects concrete materials science with jobsite practice, helping readers understand mixture properties, strength development, durability requirements, supplementary cementitious materials, admixtures, air entrainment, workability, quality assurance, sustainability considerations, and performance-based concrete specifications.
