Opis

This covers reinforcement corrosion, carbonation, chloride ingress, alkali-aggregate reaction, freeze/thaw, sulfate attack, acid and seawater attack, cracking, abrasion, erosion, cavitation and weathering. With international standards, probabilistic design, mathematical modelling of deterioration mechanisms and performance-based tests.
