A new book enters the field of concrete durability aiming to complement the existing knowledge on this very interesting albeit underestimated topic. The book contains twelve interesting chapters written by concrete technologists from Europe, United States, South Africa and Asia. Below you can find the lists of topics and contributors as well as the cover page of the book.
I had the privilege to edit Chapter-6 on physical and chemical mechanisms that are responsible for concrete degradation. In the following weeks I will write something on this topic in this blog as well.
Chapters
1.Onset of Chloride Induced Reinforcement Corrosion
2. Inhibition of Cement Matrix against Corrosion of Steel in Concrete
3. Durability of Concrete Patch Repair and Bonded Overlays
4. Assessment of Concrete Properties in Structures
5. Electrochemical Treatments and Service Life Prediction
6. Concrete Deterioration : Physical and Chemical Mechanisms
7. Frost and Salt-Frost Deterioration of Concrete – An Overview
8. Advanced Acoustic Techniques for Health Monitoring of Concrete Structures
9. The Role of Internal Curing as a Method to Improve Durability
10. Deterioration of Reinforced Concrete Structures under Combined Mechanical and Environmental Loads
11. Property of Concrete with Frost Damage and Modeling
12. Corrosion of Reinforcement and Its Effect on Structural Capacity
