PCA RESEARCH REPORTS

There are over 900 PCA R&D reports, many of which relate to cement properties and cement manufacturing. Many can be downloaded at no charge in the PCA online Bookstore. (www.cement.org/Bookstore). Others can be purchased online.

The Concrete Technical Support Library (CD019.02), a 4-CD set issued in 2003, contains over 800 PCA research reports, many on cement topics. The CD can be purchased online from PCA's web site, www.cement.org/Bookstore.

The PCA Library's online catalog provides bibliographic access to over 22,000 books and reports on cement and concrete. It also provides access to more recent PCA research reports, with links to the full documents. It is continually updated as new reports are issued. The catalog may be accessed on the Library's home page, www.cement.org/Library.

CONCRETE REFERENCE MATERIAL

Advanced Concrete Technology: Concrete Materials (LT279) - Based on a successful college curriculum, this new reference covers all aspects of concrete materials: cements, supplementary materials, admixtures, aggregates, etc. Butterworth Heinemann, 2003.

Concrete. 2nd ed. (LT269) Experts J. Francis Young, Sidney Francis Mindess, and David Darwin cover all aspects of concrete materials in this newly-revised edition. Prentice-Hall, 2002.

Concrete 101 (CD011) Self-contained program on CD designed to teach basic concrete technology, geared for individuals with little or no experience in concrete. Covers concrete ingredients and proportioning, concrete placement and finishing practices, and safety precautions.2000.

Concrete Principles (LT251) A practical guide for the practicing concrete specialist, either novice or experienced. Superbly illustrated. Coverage of materials and construction methods. American Technical Publishers, 2001.

Concrete Technical Support Library (CD019) A CD "library" containing over 800 PCA reports on all aspects of cement chemistry and concrete technology, from classics such as Duff Abrams' "Design of Concrete Mixtures" (1918) to new PCA research issued in recent years. 2003.

Fundamentals of Concrete (IS054) Discusses fresh and hardened concrete properties such as workability, bleeding, hydration, setting time, drying rate, strength, and permeability. Addresses durability issues such as alkali-aggregate reactivity, sulfate attack, chloride resistance, carbonation, and resistance to freezing and thawing.
