This book focuses on the chloride and carbonation induced corrosion of steel in concrete, although other types of corrosion of steel and degradation of concrete are also treated. The main emphasis lies on design and execution aspects related to the durability of new and existing structures,while transport mechanisms and electrochemical concepts are also presented. The text includes a discussion of new methods and materials for preventative measures, condition assessment and repair techniques. An invaluable reference for any engineer and materials scientist involved in the research or practical side of corrosion protection, rehabilitation and maintenance of reinforced concrete structures and components, as well as for owners, designers and contractors.
