Advances in Cement Analysis and Concrete Petrography

It has been more than 20 years since ASTM International last held a symposium focusing on cement analysis and/or concrete petrography, when ASTM published the Selected Technical Papers (STP) 1215, Petrography of Cementitious Materials. Analytical technology has advanced significantly and many new su...
