One of the most pressing problems facing the construction industry
globally is the deterioration of major concrete infrastructure in
marine and other chloride-containing environments. While recent
advancements in concrete technology have made it easier to control
the negative impact of deteriorating processes such as
alkali-aggregate reaction, freezing and thawing and chemical
attack, chloride-induced corrosion of embedded steel continues to
pose the biggest threat to structure durability and performance.
The second edition of Durability Design of Concrete Structures in
Severe Environments focuses on enhancing the durability and service
life of concrete structures. The text describes field experience
and deteriorating processes of concrete structures in severe
environments, and includes current data based on extensive field
investigations. It presents a durability design based on
calculation of corrosion probability, and outlines additional
protective strategies and measures. The text also describes
procedures for performance-based concrete quality control and
quality assurance with documentation of achieved construction
quality and compliance with specified durability. The text further
covers calculation of life cycle costs and life cycle assessment,
and includes some new recommended job specifications. What's New in
the Second Edition: This second edition delivers more results and
experience from practical applications of the probability-based
durability design and the performance-based concrete quality
control. It includes recent commercial projects both for Oslo
Harbor KF and Nye Tjuvholmen KS in Oslo, and contains some
preliminary results from the more comprehensive research program
"Underwater Infrastructure and Underwater City of the Future" at
Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The book serves as
an essential guide both for the owners and the consulting and
construction engineers involved in new and major concrete
infrastructure design and construction.
