Lea's Chemistry of Cement and Concrete
Lea's Chemistry of Cement and Concrete deals with the chemical and physical properties of cements and concretes and their relation to the practical problems that arise in manufacture and use. As such it is addressed not only to the chemist and those concerned with the science and technology of silicate materials, but also to those interested in the use of concrete in building and civil engineering construction. Much attention is given to the suitability of materials, to the conditions under...

Lea's Chemistry of Cement and Concrete deals with the chemical and physical properties of cements and concretes and their relation to the practical problems that arise in manufacture and use. As such it is addressed not only to the chemist and those concerned with the science and technology of silicate materials, but also to those interested in the use of concrete in building and civil engineering construction. Much attention is given to the suitability of materials, to the conditions under which concrete can excel and those where it may deteriorate and to the precautionary or remedial measures that can be adopted.First published in 1935, this is the fourth edition and the first to appear since the death of Sir Frederick Lea, the original author. Over the life of the first three editions, this book has become the authority on its subject. The fourth edition is edited by Professor Peter C. Hewlett, Director of the British Board of Agrement and visiting Industrial Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Dundee. Professor Hewlett has brought together a distinguished body of international contributors to produce an edition which is a worthy successor to the previous editions. Booknews First published in 1935, this edition of the text is the first to appear since the death of the original author, Sir Frederick Lea. In this successor, international contributors to 16 papers treat the chemical and physical properties of cements and concretes of interest to those in building and civil engineering construction as well as those immersed in the science and technology of silicate materials. Topic coverage includes: the history of calcareous cements; Portland cement classification, manufacture, specification, and properties; the production of low-energy cements; other special types of cements; microsilica as an addition; cement admixtures; and concrete aggregates. Distributed in the US by Wiley. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

\ From the Publisher'In maintaining the currency, calibre continuity and content of the work there is the monumental task of integrating the output of so many individuals into a coherent and comprehensive whole. Peter Hewlett has achieved that successfully....I have little doubt that Frederick Lea himself would have approved,'\ Professor George Somerville, British Cement Association, UK\ \ \ \ \ \ BooknewsFirst published in 1935, this edition of the text is the first to appear since the death of the original author, Sir Frederick Lea.
