Sinopsis de Corrosion of steel in concrete: prevention, diagnosis, repair

Reinforced concrete has been developed and applied extensively in the 20th century .It combines the good compressive strength of concrete with the tensile strength of steel and has proven to be successful in terms of structural performance and durability. However, there are instances of premature failure of reinforced concrete (RC) components due to corrosion of the reinforcement. The economic implications of such damage are enormous (e.g., the annual cost of repairing bridge decks is estimated up to 200 million dollars).This book will focus on the corrosion of steel in concrete, the main cause of deterioration of RC structures. A survey on well established mechanisms and concepts is given, but the main emphasis lies on new methods and materials for preventive measures, condition assessment and repair. This makes this book an invaluable reference for any engineer and materials scientist involved in the development and main...
