Reinforced concrete is the most widely used construction material
in the world, and extended performance is rightly expected. Many
structures are in aggressive environments, of critical importance
and may be irreplaceable, so repair and protection are vital. This
book surveys deterioration of concrete, particularly corrosion of
the steel reinforcement, and the various chemical, biological,
physical and mechanical causes of deterioration. It outlines
condition survey and diagnosis techniques by on-site and laboratory
measurements. It sets out mechanical methods of protection and
repair, such as patching, inhibitors, coatings, penetrants and
structural strengthening as well as cathodic protection and other
electrochemical methods. This book also gives guidance on
preventative measures including concrete technology and
construction considerations, coatings and penetrants, alternate
reinforcement, permanent corrosion monitoring and durability
planning aspects. Asset managers, port engineers, bridge
maintenance managers, building managers, heritage structure
engineers, plant engineers, consulting engineers, architects,
specialist contractors and construction material suppliers who have
the task of resolving problems of corrosion of steel reinforced
concrete elements will find this book an extremely useful resource.
It will also be a valuable reference for students at postgraduate
level. Authors The late Professor Brian Cherry of Monash
University, Melbourne, Australia was one of the world's leading
corrosion science and engineering educators and researchers. Warren
Green of Vinsi Partners, Sydney, Australia is a corrosion engineer
and materials scientist. He is also an Adjunct Associate Professor.
