Concrete has clearly emerged as the most economical and durable
material for the building of the vast majority of marine
structures. Reinforced concrete too has overcome the technological
problems making it a suitable material for the construction of
advanced marine structures such as offshore drilling platforms,
superspan bridges and undersea tunnels. As the world becomes
increasingly ocean-oriented for energy and other resources it is
predicted that construction activities during the 21st century will
be dominated by concrete sea structures. The performance of
concrete in the marine environment is presented here in a logical
manner giving state-of-the-art reviews of the nature of the marine
environment, the composition and properties of concrete, history of
concrete performance in seawater, major causes of deterioration of
concrete in the marine environment, selection of materials and mix
proportioning for durable concrete, recommended concrete practice
and repair of deteriorated marine structures. It is of value to any
design or construction engineer responsible for marine structures.
