Concrete Literature Sources

You can go to any engineering college or the science/engineering department of any public library and be overwhelmed with information and books on concrete. However, if you want to go to the source, the core, of accurate, trusted information, then there are only two places in my opinion.

Get a 24-page guide right now that answers all your questions about Deicing Salts. Will it RUIN your concrete? Did you know that salt can SERIOUSLY harm you? What about your expensive landscaping? You can have all these answers and more in less than a minute. Buy it NOW.

You need to contact either the American Concrete Institute or the Portland Cement Association. Both of these organizations have scientists and huge funding behind them. You will also find great information on the statewide level. Most states have associations of the ready-mix suppliers. These organizations want concrete to be installed correctly just like you. If it fails, they are directly affected. Often these organizations have wonderful booklets, brochures, etc. You can find their addresses / phone numbers by calling your local ready mix supplier. If they don't know the address or who you are talking about, that is a bad sign! Maybe you should keep that fact in mind when you decide to buy concrete!

If you live in a major city, don't hesitate to contact a local engineering testing lab. Major cities have these companies. These are the places that take samples of concrete and test them for strength. Usually they can also point you in the direction of some great concrete literature.
