Preface to the Fifth Edition
The format, organization and style of this edition
are the same as those of the previous editions.
The justification is that those features have shown themselves to be successful by the fact that sales have continued to be strong right up to the year 2011. The total sales in English, as well as in the

    languages into which this book has been translated, exceed half-a-million copies over a period of nearly half-a-century.
    

With the passage of time, standards evolve, become modified, withdrawn and replaced. This produces a need for updating a technical book such as Properties of Concrete and can be accommodated by minor changes in new impressions of an existing edition, as was done in the 14 impressions of the fourth edition, which I intended to be final.
This is still the case with American standards, where ASTM has a strict policy of periodic reviews, confirmation or replacement.
On the other hand, the situation of the British standards is far more complex. Specifically, there exist now some new British standards, described as also European standards, denoted by BS EN.
There continue to be in force some traditional British standards, denoted by BS. In some cases, the British standards are described as obsolete,
