Discover the secrets of designing self-compacting concrete with Jacek Gołaszewski's book. Learn about the technology that is revolutionizing construction, offering mixtures with exceptional properties. Find out how to design the concrete composition to ensure proper flow, stability, and resistance to segregation. This book is an essential source of knowledge for engineers, architects, and anyone involved in the construction industry.

• Practical tips for designing concrete mixtures
• Detailed information on selecting ingredients and their proportions
• Knowledge about introducing corrections to the mixture composition
• Recommendations for considering ecological and economic aspects
• Flowcharts in case of difficulties in obtaining the desired properties
• Review by Prof. Jerzy Wawrzeńczyk from the Świętokrzyska University of Technology

Self-compacting concretes are gaining popularity in Poland, and this book will help you overcome the barriers associated with their design and production. The author, Jacek Gołaszewski, shares his many years of experience, presenting an algorithm for determining the initial composition of the mixture. You will learn how to select the aggregate grain size, powdery components (cement, dusts), the composition and volume of the slurry, as well as admixtures that guarantee the compatibility of the superplasticizer.

This book is not only theory, but above all practical tips. The author presents flowcharts in case of difficulties in obtaining the desired properties of the mixture, indicating ways to correct the composition by changing the volume of the slurry, water, and the dose of the superplasticizer. Thanks to this, you will gain the skills necessary to independently design self-compacting concrete with the desired parameters.
