Fulton’s Concrete
Technology, 9th ed, 2009
This ninth edition of Fulton’s
Concrete Technology has been launched. This updated and expanded
version provides up-to-date information on materials and other aspects
of concrete. While all chapters have been updated, five
completely new chapters have been included: repair, reinforcement,
formwork, sand-cement mixes and self compacting concrete.

A Guide to the Common
Properties of Concrete
This 46-page
booklet is aimed at construction industry professionals to assist
structural designers to specify essential properties of concrete that
may affect the performance of a structure. Problems related to in situ
concrete usually stems from aspects such as non-specification,
incorrect specification, or poor workmanship or materials selection.
The persons best suited at tender stage to identify the properties of
concrete required for the proper performance of a structure are the
designers who will find the new book of tremendous value.
It will also
assist the contractor with the interpretations of specifications, the
testing of concrete and acceptance or rejection of results. The
publication also briefly deals with the common properties of concrete
observed in the field to result in concrete distress or failure.
Free copies
of the booklet are available to building industry professionals.
Contact Harry Mabaso for
further information.
Concrete Road
Construction
This manual
is intended to assist those involved in the construction of concrete
roads whether this is using the most modern slip-form paver or the most
rudimentary equipment for a low-volume township street. However,
more information on low-volume concrete roads is contained in the
C&CI’s publication Low-volume concrete roads.
The manual covers some design and
detailing aspects but only so that there is an understanding of why
certain details are important and why they should be constructed in a
certain way.
It is hoped
that this manual will be of value to all those involved with the
construction of concrete roads in any form. Click here to order.
