Lea's Chemistry of Cement and Concrete deals with the chemical and physical properties of cements and concretes and their relation to the practical problems that arise in manufacture and use. As such it is addressed not only to the chemist and those concerned with the science and technology of silicate materials, but also to those interested in the use of concrete in building and civil engineering construction. Much attention is given to the suitability of materials, to the conditions under which concrete can excel and those where it may deteriorate and to the precautionary or remedial measures that can be adopted. First published in 1935, this is the fourth edition and the first to appear since the death of Sir Frederick Lea, the original author. Over the life of the first three editions, this book has become the authority on its subject. The fourth edition is edited by Professor Peter C. Hewlett, Director of the British Board of Agrement and visiting Industrial Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Dundee. Professor Hewlett has brought together a distinguished body of international contributors to produce an edition which is a worthy successor to the previous editions.

Excerpt from The Chemistry and Testing of Cement From the earliest historical times, materials belonging to the class of calcareous cements have been used in the construction of buildings, the methods of preparing and applying them being the result of the experience of generations of builders, and undergoing little change in the course of centuries. The modem development of engineering practice, dating from the second half of the eighteenth century, gave a new importance to these materials, and brought about the invention of many new types of cement, some of which have in great measure superseded the older kinds. A large and important industry has thus come into existence, and has gradually spread from a few local centres until it has become established in most parts of the civilised world. As the demand for cements on the part of the engineer and the builder has increased, so their requirements in respect of quality have become more exacting, and the manufacturer has not only been called on to increase his production, but also to improve the strength and stability of his product. This has been accomplished with a remarkable degree of success, partly as the result of improvements in mechanical processes and appliances, but also in no small degree through the co-operation of the chemist. This second factor assumes an increasing importance as the standard of quality is raised, and as efforts are made to extend the range of the raw materials employed in the industry.

This volume is the outcome of a critical review of the most important and useful aspects of science and technology of cement. The contents present a combination of cement chemistry including mathematical modelling, manufacture showing geology of limestone and other raw materials, concrete and other blends, instrumental analysis showing thermoanalytical techniques, and x-rays. This publication should be of specific interest to students and researchers, material scientists, cement chemists and technical personnel, and engineers in cement and concrete industry and laboratories.
