by GEOFF MAYS (Author), G.C. Mays (Editor)

Durability of concrete structures is concerned with the long-term durability of concrete as a structural material as used in the construction of buildings, bridges, roads, marine and civil engineering structures.

Durability of concrete structures discusses the fundamental reasons for the deterioration of concrete over time and available techniques for detecting, remedying and preventing the deterioration.

of concrete may be defined as the ability of concrete to resist weathering action, chemical attack, and abrasion while maintaining its desired engineering properties.

Different concretes require different degrees of durability depending on the exposure environment and properties desired.

Durability of concrete structures provides a collection of recent research works, related to structural stability and durability, service life, reinforced concrete structures, recycled materials, and sustainability with endogenic materials.

Intended as an overview of the current state of knowledge, the book will benefit scientists, students, practitioners, lecturers and other interested parties.

At the same time, the topics covered are relevant to a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines, including civil, materials and mechanical engineering.

Addresses the needs of practitioners and researchers interested in the sustainability of the built environment, and in the construction industry

Examines the environmental impacts of the construction industry and buildings
