High-Volume Mineral Admixtures in Cementitious Binders 1st Edition

Boldly rethinking concrete for a low‑carbon future, High-Volume Mineral Admixtures in Cementitious Binders, 1st Edition by Dan Tsang and Xiaohong Zhu offers a clear, authoritative guide to replacing large fractions of Portland cement with mineral admixtures for stronger, more durable, and greener construction.

Discover practical science and hands‑on guidance that bridge laboratory research and field practice. The book explains the chemistry and microstructure of blends using fly ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag, calcined clays and other supplementary cementitious materials, and shows how high‑volume replacement affects rheology, setting, strength development, durability, and long‑term performance across climates and environments.

Engineers, materials scientists, contractors, and advanced students will find step‑by‑step mix design strategies, testing protocols, and troubleshooting advice tailored to modern standards and codes. Case studies and regional considerations make it applicable to projects in North America, Europe, Asia and beyond—helping specifiers optimize mixes for coastal exposure, cold climates or urban infrastructure demands.

Why this edition matters: it combines rigorous research with pragmatic solutions so professionals can reduce embodied carbon without sacrificing constructability or service life. Clear visuals, concise explanations, and practical recommendations make complex topics accessible and immediately useful on the jobsite or in the lab.

Whether you’re pursuing sustainable building targets, improving durability, or staying ahead in materials innovation, this book is an essential reference. Order your copy today and equip your team with the knowledge to design higher‑performance, lower‑carbon cementitious systems worldwide.
