Description
Book SynopsisSuitable for engineers involved in designing concrete structures of different types, this book gives a comprehensive overview of durability design requirements, providing practitioners with the information they need to understand the likely causes of future deterioration to the concrete structures they are designing.
Table of ContentsIntroduction Pore Structure and Transport Processes Physical Deterioration Mechanisms Deterioration Mechanisms - Chemical Durability performance tests Modelling and predicting the effects of deterioration mechanisms Materials selection for improved durability performance Construction processes for improved durability Design aspects that can reduce risk from deterioration mechanisms Case Studies: durability problems, repair strategies or proper consideration to durability design? Repair Methods Issues related to performance-based specification for concrete Advances in durability design and performance-based specification
