In the near future, many parts of the world will suffer from a
shortage of freshwater. Effective use of seawater in concrete
production could therefore become a crucial technology. Seawater in
Concrete Mix provides a detailed overview of the fundamental
knowledge of concrete engineering that is essential for the usage
of seawater-mixed concrete. According to the worldwide standard for
reinforced concrete (RC), freshwater is typically used in concrete
mixing rather than seawater. Yet a potential exists for the
extensive use of seawater in concrete, especially with the addition
of ground granulated blast-furnace slag, fly ash, or other mineral
admixtures. The recent trend toward performance-based design makes
this alternative more viable. The text is ideal for graduate
students, researchers, concrete engineers, and all civil engineers
who deal with concrete for infrastructure. Hidenori Hamada is
Professor of Kyushu University, Japan. Nobuaki Otsuki is Professor
Emeritus of Tokyo Institute of Technology and was Chairman of the
JCI Technical Committee on the use of seawater in concrete.
Takahiro Nishida is Senior Researcher of the Japanese National
Institute of Maritime, Port and Aviation Technology.
