Rudnai Gyula: Lightweight concretes (Budapest, 1963)
LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETES by GYULA RUDNAI Civil Engineer In English-1963-272 pages 198 figures ■ Clothbound A comprehensive survey is given of the various types, properties, practical uses and production methods of lightweight concrete and of the results achieved in research both in Hungary and abroad. Detailed attention is devoted to air-entraining (foam and gas) concretes, foamed and gas silicates, microporites, different types of concrete made with lightweight aggregates (expanded slag, fly ash, clay, perlite), as well as to mortars and their constituents and to their production methods. Casting technologies of lightweight concrete elements are described and the fields of application of various products are outlined. A large number of illustrations show the structural applications of lightweight concrete including solutions for block masonry, medium- and large-panelled structures, cast buildings, as well as for floors, partition walls, etc. The book should be of interest to research engineers, architects, building contractors, teachers and students.
