 | Corrosion of Steel in Concrete: Understanding, Investigation and Repair Subjects: Engineering & Technology; Civil Environmental and Geotechnical Engineering; Materials Science; Mining Mineral & Petroleum Engineering; Concrete & Cement; Structural Engineering; Corrosion-Materials Science; Mining Engineering; Corrosion of Steel in Concrete: Understanding, Investigation and Repair is a guide for designing, constructing and maintaining reinforced concrete structures, such as buildings and bridges. It presents the basics of theory and practice in steel corrosion in concrete and reviews the latest research and developments such as progress on measuring the corrosion threshold for chloride induced corrosion. This third edition compares the currently proliferating major national and international standards and guidance documents. New developments are considered, such as hybrid anodes for electrochemical treatment and the latest research and developments in assessment such as the use of ground penetrating radar to measure the chloride content of the concrete cover. It overhauls coverage of electrochemical repair and rehabilitation techniques and outlines recent innovations in structural repair and construction and investigates their implications for durability. The book is ideal for practitioners and graduate students in structural engineering and concrete technology. John P. Broomfield is a leading expert on the corrosion of steel in concrete structures, as a professional engineer and consultant around the world. He is the recipient of an NACE 2007 Technical Achievement Award and NACE 2017 Distinguished Service Award, and is co-editor of Cathodic Protection of Steel in Concrete and Masonry 2nd Edition |
