Abstract: This book is a direct companion to Sittig's Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals and Carcinogens in that the hazardous chemicals listed in Sittig's Handbook are the source for this guide. With more than 7,500 entries highlighting chemical producers worldwide, this international directory is a source of complete contact information for manufacturers, agencies, organizations, and useful sources of information regarding hazardous chemicals Annotation In spite of the increasing use and demand for lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC), there is still a lack of adequate explanations to understand the mechanisms responsible for the strength and durability properties of LWAC. This book is written to give an overall picture of LWAC, from the historical background, aggregate production, proportioning and production of concrete, to applications in structures. Physical properties and chemical durability are described in detail. The physical properties include density, strength, shrinkage, and elasticity. Chemical durability includes resistance to acids, chloride ingress, carbonation, and freeze-thaw resistance. Fire resistance is also included, which is seldom considered, but is a very important aspect of the safety of the structure. Microstructure development and its relation to the durability properties of LWAC generally are not highlighted in the literature. The development of bonds, the microstructure with different binder systems, and different types of lightweight aggregates are explained. They show how lightweight aggregate concrete differs from normal weight concrete. The chapters on chloride ingress and freeze-thaw resistance are detailed because of the use of LWAC in offshore construction. The economical aspects of using LWAC are also reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the fact that although the cost of LWAC is high, the total cost of construction has to be considered, including the cost of transport, reinforcement, etc. When these are considered then LWAC becomes cheaper and attractive. The life cycle cost of the concrete is another consideration for calculating long-term savings on maintenance costs The purpose of this book is to provide a convenient source of environment information to the users of __Sittig's Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals and Cancinogens, 4th Edition,__ edited by Richard Pohanish. This book is intended for chemists, toxicologists, laboratory technicians, manufacturers, safety professionals and government personnel involved in environmental and industrial safety and health matters.

Poison Control Centers Index "This international directory provides more than 7,500 entries of hazardous chemical manufacturers, organizations, government agencies, hotlines, and useful web sites for software and databases around the world. This is a perfect companion to Sittig's Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals and Carcinogens, as each chemical listed in Sittig's Handbook also appears within International Resources Guide to Hazardous Chemicals." "Each entry contains (as available): name, address, hotline, phone, fax, e-mail, web site, and the organization description. Manufacturers are identified by parent company and their major subsidiaries and chemical groups."--BOOK JACKET
