The term “concrete homes”and the first thing that comes into the mind is strength and durability. Many ask the question, why to use concrete for building homes? The answer to this question is very simple. It is the best way to construct a home. It is by far better than other building materials available today. Concrete ensures that your home lasts for a long time. There are a number of benefits of using concrete. Beautiful :

Concrete can be moulded into any shape. You can literally create any size house that you can ever imagine. There are many ways to build your home, if you are using concrete such as insulating concrete forms, precast concrete and tilt up concrete. With concrete, you can create a wide range of angles and curves

Many construction companies prefer concrete pavers for both commercial and residential applications. Using these pavers for surface covers for parking lots, driveways, pool decks and sidewalks is a sensible and an attractive choice. They come in innumerable styles and color which is not the case with granite or clay pavers.

With concrete pavements, you can design the look for your pavement the way you want. This is because their surface is non-slippery even if they are wet. So you can safely walk or drive any vehicle over them. Concrete pavers are very popular among customers as they are less expensive but at the same time, sturdy and strong

Timeless Designs : Concrete provides a variety of construction techniques that are cost effective. Wood prices are volatile and there is acute shortage of good quality lumber. In such circumstances, concrete is a quality alternative to wood frame house construction. It requires low maintenance, environmental friendly and energy efficient. With concrete and cement block, you can create contemporary or traditional designs. So whether you are building a colonial mansion or a Victorian gingerbread home, using concrete would be the ideal choice.

Safety : Do you want to protect your house from wood rot, termites and fire? If “yes” then use concrete as it ensures that the beauty of your house stays for all the years to come. It is fire resistant, which means, your family will be secure from any injury because of fire. With minimum maintenance, you will be able to hold its beauty. No wonder concrete homes are a solid investment for anyone.

Environment friendly : In this age, where resources like wood are vanishing, it is important to choose building materials wisely. Cement block is manufactured from clay, limestone and sand. Recycled materials are used in cement manufacturing process. Wood frame home construction involves cutting of trees, thereby degrading the environment.

Solid construction : Concrete ensures that your house wall is solid, airtight and continuous. Concrete walls can withstand elements of nature like termites and rain. It is more resistant to tornadoes, hurricanes and other windstorms. Terminates simply cannot cause any structural damage to concrete walls. Therefore, the next time, you want to build a new house and are using material other than concrete, do a rethink.

Precast Concrete $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Precast concrete is a form of construction, where concrete is cast in a reusable mould or form which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place. In contrast, standard concrete is poured into site specific forms and cured on site. Precast stone is distinguished from precast concrete by using a fine aggregate in the mixture so the final product approaches the appearance of naturally occurring rock or stone.

Concrete Reveries $5.99 An exploration of urbanism, personal identity, and how the space we live in shapes us According to philosopher and cultural critic Mark Kingwell, the transnational global city-New York and Shanghai-is the most significant machine our species has ever produced. And yet, he says, we fail again and again to understand it. How do cities shape us, and how do we shape them? That is the subject of Concrete Reveries , which investigates how we occupy city space and why place is so important to who we are. Kingwell explores the sights, smells, and forms of the city, reflecting on how they mold our notions of identity, the limits of social and political engagement, and our moral obligations as citizens. He offers a critique of the monumental architectural supermodernism in which buildings are valued more for their exteriors than for what is inside, as well as some lively writing on the significance of threshold structures like doorways, lobbies, and porches and the kinds of emotional attachments we form to ballparks, carnival grounds, and gardens. In the process, he gives us a whole new set of models and metaphors for thinking about the city. With a spectacular interior design and more than seventy-five photos, Concrete Reveries will appeal to fans of Jane Jacobs, Witold Rybczynski, and Alain de Botton's The Architecture of Happiness .

Precast Concrete Structures (Hardcover) $180.92 The book reflects the current situation in precast concrete construction. Besides general observations regarding building with precast concrete elements, the book focuses first and foremost on the boundary conditions for the design of precast concrete structures, loadbearing elements and facades. Connections and specific structural and constructional issues are covered in detail and stability of precast concrete structures is another central theme. The requirements brought about by the emergence of the European Single Market are explained and the diverse possibilities for facade design are presented. A chapter on the production processes provides the reader with an indispensable insight into the characteristics of this form of industrialised building. The book is a practical tool for engineers, but certainly also architects and students. One of the authors? intentions is to demonstrate to engineers and architects the possibilities that factory prefabrication can offer, and hence pave the way towards the economic application and ongoing development of precast concrete construction.

Developed with the latest structural design recommendations by the National Design Specification (NDS 2005), the book covers recent advances in materials, money- and energy-saving strategies, safety guidelines, OSHA regulations, and dimensional tolerances. Up-to-date sample problems illustrate practical applications for calculating loads and stresses. This comprehensive manual also includes new summary tables and equations and a directory of suppliers. Formwork for Concrete Structures , Fourth Edition, covers: Economy of formwork Pressure of concrete on formwork Properties of form material Form design Shores and scaffolding Failures of formwork Forms for footings, walls, and columns Forms for beams and floor slabs Patented forms for concrete floor systems Forms for thin-shell roof slabs Forms for architectural concrete Slipforms Forms for concrete bridge decks Flying deck forms

Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors $140 Post-tensioning is the most versatile form of pre stressing, a technique which enables engineers to make the most effective use of the material properties of concrete, and so to design structural elements which are strong, slender and efficient. Design in post-tensioned concrete is not difficult and, if done properly, can contribute significantly to the economy and the aesthetic qualities of a building. Post-tensioned floors have found widespread use in office buildings and car park structures, and are also frequently employed in warehouses and public buildings. However, in spite of this, most prestressed concrete texts devote comparatively little attention to floors, concentrating instead on beam elements. This book answers the need for a comprehensive treatment of post-tensioned floor design.

A mysterious “hero” is saving Chicago’s citizens from certain death, with strange and sinister consequences. Brynna knows too much about demonkind to believe in coincidences. Some dark force is at work here, and Brynna may be the only one who can stop it. . . .

Concrete for House, Farm, Estate $44.79 PREFACE. T 1 elementary knowledge of reinforced concrete AS should form part of the education of an Architect and Builder. There is evidence on all sides that in Great Britain we have not fully grasped the advantages that concrete gives. There are few builders that can afford to neglect the cheapest and best methods, and concrete can in a variety of ways be blended into building con struction. A taste far beyond the ideas for improved forms may easily lead in this book, but if my efforts at construction, extending over many years and explained here to the best of my ability, will in any way help the beginner, then my labour will be to me a gratifying success.

Physical Properties of Concrete (Hardcover) $292.35 Understanding the rheological properties of fresh concrete, the hydration phenomenon of cement responsible for structuration, the relationship between the characteristics of the porous solid obtained and its mechanical performances or resistance to the aggressive penetration requires a complex knowledge of the physicochemistry of reactive porous materials. The development of simple formulation rules therefore requires the assimilation of this knowledge and a good command of the properties of these materials.The purpose of this book is to provide the mix designer with useful knowledge on granular materials and porous materials, which will enable the innovative design of concrete. Topics covered include the characterization of granular materials, the concepts of porosity and specific surface area, and the transport properties (diffusion and permeation) of concrete. Some of these topics are already covered in other general books dedicated to granular or porous materials. The objective here is to bring them together in one book by adapting them for use by concrete specialists.Applications in the form of exercises are offered at the end of each chapter to enable readers to assimilate the theoretical knowledge and to apply such knowledge to concrete problems encountered in civil engineering.

Modular Form $71.7 In mathematics, a modular form is a analytic function on the upper halfplane satisfying a certain kind of functional equation and growth condition. The theory of modular forms therefore belongs to complex analysis but the main importance of the theory has traditionally been in its connections with number theory. Modular forms appear in other areas, such as algebraic topology and string theory.A modular function is a modular form of weight 0: it is invariant under the modular group, instead of transforming in a prescribed way, and is thus a function on the modular region.Modular form theory is a special case of the more general theory of automorphic forms, and therefore can now be seen as just the most concrete part of a rich theory of discrete groups.

ChlorideInduced Corrosion of Steel in Concrete $162.5 The thesis deals with the basic nature and the mechanism of the chlorideinduced corrosion of steel embedded in mortar. The investigations made include pore solution chemistry for different types of cements (ordinary and sulphate resistant Portland cement) containing different levels and types of chloride salts. Xray diffraction, DSC, SEM, EDX and Mercury Porosimetry and electrochemical studies using AC and DC techniques were included to draw conclusions. The results are used to explain the nature of chloride binding in relation with chloide/hydroxyl ratios and also the type of chlorocomplexes that form with different types of cements. The mechanisms of chloride binding is discussed in detail. The effect of different chloride salts on the accessible pore volumes is also presented. The extent of protection for the steel in mortar is compared with the steel exposed to aqueous alkaline solution. The buffering (pseudobuffering) action by the interfacial calcium hydroxide crystal layer is also discussed. The relationship between the rust present on the steel surface and the corrosion resistance is also presented.
