Whether you are constructing a building, tunnel, bridge or pavement--and no matter what concrete you are using: structural, lightweight, mass, superplasticized or roller compacted, the importance of consolidation in concrete construction should not be neglected. This collection of 13 papers deals exclusively with the recent developments and methodologies of concrete consolidation and covers topics such as: mechanical equipment for consolidation of concrete; the need for consolidation of superplasticized concret e mixes; consolidation of continuously reinforced concrete pavement; compaction effects on flexural behavior of fiber reinforced concrete; and properties of double-mixed lean concrete subjected to vibrating compaction. Consolidation of Concrete offers engineers and contractors alike valuable insight into the latest research and developments in this critical aspect of concrete construction.
