Opis

Corrosion and Its Consequences for Reinforced Concrete Structures explores the fundamental aspects of corrosion in concrete including limitations of current understanding, and concepts and models of corrosion in concrete. A valuable guide for engineers, materials scientists and researchers in the field of structural concrete.

• Explores corrosion in concrete
• Examines the influence of pre-cracks on corrosion
• Discusses corrosion diagnostics and corrosion-induced cracks
• Presents residual mechanical properties of corroded structures: effect of corrosion on steel behavior, load-bearing capacity, yielding capacity, deflection of corroded beams and the effect of corrosion on bond
• Provides repair and maintenance considerations: cathodic protection and carbon fiber reinforced polymer used to strengthen and restore bearing capacity
