This new edition sets out the fundamental aspects of concrete
durability with an emphasis on sustainability and carbon neutrality
through performance-based methodologies. Global approaches to
managing durability are explained from both a prescriptive and
performance viewpoint. Achieving a balance between the interactive
factors influencing durability and sustainability is supported by
an explanation of the physical and chemical phenomena at play,
determination of key performance parameters by mathematical
modelling and physical testing, and current guidance for good
practice. New chapters and sections examine the holistic approach
to durability and significant aspects of traditional and new
cementitious systems. The full range of threats to durability are
covered in this single volume, including reinforcement corrosion,
carbonation, chloride ingress, freeze-thaw effects, sulfate attack,
acid and seawater attack, alkali-aggregate reaction, cracking,
abrasion, erosion, cavitation, and weathering. The book presents a
framework for specification through internationally adopted codes
and standards and summarises the background to probabilistic
approaches to durability design, providing a state-of-the-art
review of mathematical modelling of deterioration mechanisms along
with current directions in test methods for performance-based
specifications. Fundamentals of Durable Reinforced Concrete is an
essential reference on concrete durability for specifiers and
researchers and is also accessible to undergraduate students.
