The effect of nonylphenolethoxylate on the density, strength and absorption characteristic of lightweight concrete / Kamarudzaman Sakom
Concrete, so commonly accepted in our buildings, bridges, highways and an infinite variety of other structures, is taken for granted as massive and weighty. Not necessary so. A broad spectrum of light weight concrete has been used successfully in construction industry for many years. For structural...
