Steel-Reinforced Concrete Structures

Steel-Reinforced Concrete Structures: Assessment and Repair of Corrosion, Third Edition examines the corrosion of reinforced concrete from a practical point of view, highlights protective design and repair procedures, and presents ongoing maintenance protocols. Updated throughout, this new edition adds additional information on concrete repair and reviews new examples of the effects of corrosion on both prestressed and reinforced concrete structures. It also examines economic analysis procedures and the probability of structural failures to define structural risk assessment and covers precautions and recommendations for protecting reinforced concrete structures from corrosion based on the latest codes and specifications.

Features:

• Updated throughout and adds all new information on advanced testing and repair techniques
• Discusses the theoretical and practical methods of performing structural assessments
• Explains precautions for design and construction that reduce the risk of structural corrosion
• Covers traditional and advanced techniques for repair and how to choose the best methods
• Utilizes the newest building codes, specifications, and standards regarding construction and corrosion
