Through proper selection of materials and adoption of the correct construction method appropriate for each individual construction project, concrete can be prepared to satisfy all the requirements of strength and performance in any kind of location and environmental conditions. Good concrete is, no doubt, required to achieve this purpose for which standard specifications and procedures are available in many books and manuals of practices. Many engineers and technical staff working on construction sites do not have access to this large volume of literature, besides which they are often unaware of the results of research carried out on this subject in the recent past.
