Optimization Methods for Material Design of Cement-based Composites / Edition 1

by A.M. Brandt

Overview

This book provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the subject of optimization methods. Optimal mix design for both ordinary and special concretes (such as fibre- reinforced concretes, polymer cement concretes and water permeable concretes). Different problems of optimization are considered and illustrated with examples. Large sets of new experimental data are presented and discussed.
