LeaChemical PublishingBook - HardbackPub Date: Nov 1, 1971740 pages Features F.M. LEA’S last living edition.The advances in the chemistry and physics of cements led to the necessity for this third edition. Lea's book deals with the chemical and physical properties of cements and concretes and their relation to the practical problems that arise in their manufacture and use. It will be of great interest not only to the chemist involved in the science and technology of silicate materials but also to those using concrete in building and civil engineering construction. Attention is given to problems arising in the use of concrete, from the suitability of materials, to the conditions under which concrete may deteriorate and the precautionary or remedial measures that can be adopted. It is well illustrated with line drawings, tables and photographs. ContentsPreface 1. THE HISTORY OF CALCAREOUS CEMENTS p. 12. CLASSIFICATION OF CEMENTS p. 113.
