Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures has been the cement and concrete
industry’s primary reference on concrete knowledge for almost 100 years. Since
the first edition was published in 1924, the U.S. version has been updated 16
times to reflect advances in cement and concrete technology and to meet the
growing needs of architects, engineers, builders, concrete producers, concrete
technologists, instructors, and students.
This fully revised 17th edition was written to provide a concise, current
reference on concrete, including the many developments that occurred since the
last edition was published in 2016. The text is backed by over 100 years of
research by the Portland Cement Association and other industry groups. It
reflects the latest guidance on standards, specifications, and test methods of
ASTM International (ASTM), the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and the American Concrete Institute
(ACI).
The 17th edition includes an in-depth restructuring of
the existing content, presenting a 40% increase in new information over the
prior edition within the previous chapters. This edition also has added two new
chapters on imperfections in concrete, and innovations in concrete.
Over 3 million copies of past editions of the book
have been distributed, making this book a primary reference on concrete
technology.

The sixth edition of PCA's Concrete Masonry Handbook for Architects, Engineers, Builders reflects the
state-of-the-practice for concrete masonry construction presented in a revised
layout style. More than 200 color photos describe designing and building with
concrete masonry. Like the previous version, this handbook contains nine
chapters, giving comprehensive coverage to materials - from units, to mortar, to
grout. The chapters on design and construction provide an introduction to the
structural behavior of masonry elements, including the types of loads acting on
structures, how loads are carried, key components of masonry walls, and a
detailed description of placing masonry. Includes information on applications
for concrete masonry structures, finishes such as paint and plaster, more than
40 details of masonry sections, and a brand new glossary.

Unwanted moisture in concrete floors annually causes millions of dollars
in damage to buildings in the United States. Problems from excessive moisture
include deterioration and de-bonding of floor coverings, trip-and-fall hazards,
microbial growth leading to reduced indoor air quality, staining, and
deterioration of building finishes. Understanding moisture in concrete leads to
design of floors and flooring systems that provide excellent service for many
years. This publication discusses sources of moisture, drying of concrete,
methods of measuring moisture, construction practices, specifications, and
responsibilities for successful floor projects. The second edition incorporates
a brief discussion of terrazzo issues, an extended discussion of issues with
ASTM F1869 moisture emission testing, additional references on drying times of
lightweight concrete, and updates to the sources of supplies and
standards.

This publication is a basic guide outlining the standard practices and
procedures for planning, building, and finishing interior or exterior concrete
flatwork (sidewalks, driveways, patios, floors) and steps. It supercedes the PCA
Cement Mason's Guide. With expanded information pertaining to material
selection and construction practices, it supplies the reader with a wealth of
new information.
While intended primarily for concrete finishers and concrete finisher
apprentices, the information contained in this guide will benefit homebuilders,
contractors, architects, engineers, landscape architects, homeowners, vocational
education students, specification writers, inspectors, and others.
The recommendations given here are based on current best practices and
technical information (provided in both metric and inch-pound to allow for use
in government projects as well as public works). Note: Material selection,
construction practices and safety regulations for heavy commercial and
industrial applications are beyond the scope of this document.
