Dr. F. S. Fulton's Concrete Technology A South African Handbook (1969) is a seminal text that laid the foundation for modern concrete science and construction practice in southern Africa. Published by the Portland Cement Institute, this comprehensive handbook serves as both a theoretical guide and practical manual for engineers, architects, contractors, and students working with concrete in varied climatic and material conditions.
The book provides in-depth coverage of the properties, composition, and behavior of concretefrom cement chemistry and aggregate selection to mix design, curing, and testing procedures. Fulton places particular emphasis on adapting international concrete technology to South African conditions, addressing the effects of local materials, environmental factors, and construction methods. Detailed charts, tables, and photographs accompany the text, offering practical reference tools for professionals in the field.
Highly regarded as the definitive South African reference on concrete, Concrete Technology influenced decades of engineering education and construction standards. It remains an essential resource for understanding the evolution of concrete science in Africa and for appreciating the precision and innovation that Dr. Fulton brought to the discipline.
