Concrete and cement-based materials must operate in increasingly
aggressive aqueous environments, which may be either natural or
industrial. These materials may suffer degradation in which ion
addition and/or ion exchange reactions occur, leading to a
breakdown of the matrix microstructure and consequent weakening.
Sometimes this degradation can be extremely rapid and serious such
as in acidic environments, while in other cases degradation occurs
over long periods. Consequences of material failure are usually
severe - adversely affecting the health and well-being of human
communities and disturbing ecological balances. There are also
large direct costs of maintaining and replacing deteriorated
infrastructure and indirect costs from loss of production during
maintenance work, which place a great burden on society. The focus
of this book is on addressing issues concerning performance of
cement-based materials in aggressive aqueous environments , by way
of this State-of-the-Art Report. The book represents the work of
many well-known and respected authors who contributed chapters or
parts of chapters. Four main themes were addressed: I. Nature and
kinetics of degradation and deterioration mechanisms of
cement-based materials in aggressive aqueous environments, II.
Modelling of deterioration in such environments, III. Test methods
to assess performance of cement-based materials in such
environments, and which can be used to characterise and rate
relative performance and inform long term predictions, IV.
Engineering implications and consequences of deterioration in
aggressive aqueous environments, and engineering approaches to the
problem.
