Evolving from a set of loose-leaf blue-printed instructionsAlthough fundamental precepts of good concrete practice do not change. Continued research and development of the technology bring about significant improvements that keep concrete in the forefront as a versatile dependable and economical construction material. This Eighth Edition of the Concrete Manual underscores this progress; it embraces substantial supplemental information relating to many of these improvements in concrete control and technology. This latest edition of the manual also includes a brief discussion of concrete- polymer materials new composites which have considerable potential in construction. Information on the manufacture of concrete pipe has been supplemented and revised.
