This section includes a collection of materials explaining the fundamentals of concrete materials and behaviour. While serving as a useful tool for teachers, as a valuable addition to a regular textbook, it will also help practitioners to recall their basics of concrete technology. Wherever applicable, additional references are provided to enable the reader to obtain adequate information. The chapters are broadly divided into three categories:

1. Concrete making materials
2. Fresh and hardened properties
3. Durability and dimensional stability
