CORROSION OF REINFORCEMENT CON (Special Publications)
The corrosion of reinforcement in concrete is an important cause of concrete structures needing repair. In the UK alone it is estimated that repairs to damaged concrete cost over #500 million each year. Significant progress has been made in recent years in the early detection of corrosion problems, and in cost effective preventative measures. The topics covered in this book embrace virtually all aspects of steel corrosion in concrete and its control. In particular it covers the following themes: corrosion mechanisms; monitoring methods; performance and durability of various concretes; practical aspects of remedial and preventative methods; electrochemical rehabilitation techniques; coatings and treatments for corrosion inhibition; the economics of corrosion prevention; case studies and long-term durability investigations.
