Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

With the growing popularity of specialist concretes such as self-compacting concrete (SCC), the requirements for information about the raw materials has increased considerably for manufacturers. The processes used to produce these concretes have also had to be considered to ensure they allow the correct proportioning, mixing and placing at the plant or on site. It is now clear to most concrete producers that the need for adequate quality control is much more critical with SCC than in the case of conventional concretes. Further, the production of SCC’s requires greater competence from those involved as well as good control of materials and equipments used for production.
