CONCRETE IN PRACTICE

Concrete In Practice (CIP) Brochures (PDF format)

Below are individual articles developed by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association to help you, the installer, achieve quality concrete on every job. The Concrete in Practice (CIP) series ranges in topics from flexural strength to radon resistance. All are designed to make your job the best that it can be. The complete CIP series can also be downloaded at right.
