This book provides an up-to-date survey of durability issues, with a particular focus on specification and design, and how to achieve durability in actual concr

Whilst most structures made using concrete and cement-based composites have not shown signs of premature degradation, there have been notable exceptions. In add

Concrete structures can be designed for durability by applying the principles and procedures of reliability theory combined with traditional structural design.

This book is concerned with the long term durability of concrete as a structural material as used in the construction of buildings, bridges, roads, marine and c

By designing in corrosion prevention and through preventive maintenance, the overall service cost of a concrete structure can be substantially reduced. This boo
