The purpose
of this book is to familiarize civil engineering and construction technology
students with two of the most important materials of construction, Portland
cement (PC) and Portland cement concrete (PCC). People frequently make the
error of using these terms interchangeably. It is important to keep in mind
that PC is a powder, while PCC is initially a plastic material and for the
remainder of its life, a solid. A valid analogy is to compare PC to flour and
PCC to bread. The book aims to assist students to gain an understanding of PC
and PCC through the physical handling and testing of these materials in the
laboratory environment. While the book was primarily written for use at the
college level, it may also serve as a practical guide for the graduate engineer
and laboratory technician.

The body of
this book is divided into four sections. Section 1 explains how concrete
batches are designed, mixed, and measured for various consistencies, which is
explained in a special chapter titled “Mix Design Procedures.” Section 2
details the tests of the primary component materials of concrete other than
water— namely Portland cement, aggregates, and mortar. Section 3 includes some
of the fundamental testing procedures in conformity with the standards of the
American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM). Section 4 includes the various
appendices, followed by an index of additional data sheets. There probably will
never be enough laboratory time to complete all of the test procedures, even in
a 15-week university semester.

The testing
procedures included herein are intended to accurately reflect the specific ASTM
designation, sometimes with modifications dictated by the inherent time
constraints of an academic laboratory. In certain cases, therefore, such as in
securing the specific gravities and absorption of aggregates, modifications
were introduced to fit the usual 3-hour laboratory module. Where the particular
ASTM method permits alternate procedures, only the one more applicable to the
teaching situation was chosen.
