Prediction of Concrete Durability: Proceedings of STATS 21st anniversary conference

Description

Poor durability of concrete is a continuing concern to owners of structures and their professional advisors. Advances in methods of assessing and predicting durability are being made in many areas, and this book provides a state of the art review of the current situation, progress made and the possibilities for the future. Prediction of Concrete Durability forms the proceedings, both the papers and the discussions, of the 21st Anniversary conference held in November 1995 to celebrate the formation of STATS. A wide range of topics are covered with the aim of assisting the design and production of high quality concrete with known durability criteria. Areas covered include the performance prediction of concrete, non-destructive testing, engineering design and service life of concrete, achieving durable concrete, measuring and modelling transport of aggressive agents for life prediction of concrete and the prediction and performance of aggregates.
