Steel-reinforced concrete is used ubiquitously as a building
material due to its unique combination of the high compressive
strength of concrete and the high tensile strength of steel.
Therefore, reinforced concrete is an ideal composite material that
is used for a wide range of applications in structural engineering
such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, harbor quays, foundations,
tanks and pipes. To ensure durability of these structures, however,
measures must be taken to prevent, diagnose and, if necessary,
repair damage to the material especially due to corrosion of the
steel reinforcement.
The book examines the different aspects of corrosion of steel in
concrete, starting from basic and essential mechanisms of the
phenomenon,
moving up to practical consequences for designers, contractors and
owners both for new and existing reinforced and prestressed
concrete
structures. It covers general aspects of corrosion and protection
of reinforcement, forms of attack in the presence of carbonation
and chlorides,
problems of hydrogen embrittlement as well as techniques of
diagnosis, monitoring and repair. This second edition updates the
contents with
recent findings on the different topics considered and
bibliographic references, with particular attention to recent
European standards. This
book is a self-contained treatment for civil and construction
engineers, material scientists, advanced students and architects
concerned with the design and maintenance of reinforced concrete
structures. Readers will benefit from the knowledge, tools, and
methods needed to understand corrosion in reinforced concrete and
how to prevent it or keep it within acceptable limits.
