scope:

This guide outlines procedures for achieving good results in measuring and mixing ingredients for concrete, transporting it to the site, and placing it. The first six chapters are general and apply to all types of projects and concrete. The following four chapters deal with preplaced-aggregate concrete, underwater placing, pumping, and conveying on belts. The concluding three chapters deal with heavyweight, radiation-shielding concrete, lightweight concrete, and volumetric-measuring and continuous-mixing concrete equipment.
