The "CONCRETE PRACTICE - 3RD EDITION" publication provides practical guidance for construction and supervision of concrete work in the UK. It covers topics like Portland cements, aggregates, water, admixtures, and concrete properties. The handbook references British and European standards for concrete specification, production, and use. It includes chapters on ready mixed concrete, site batching, placing and compaction, reinforcement, formwork, curing, testing, and more. The goal is to offer advice and insight into the practical aspects of working with concrete, without replacing regulations or codes of practice.
