Carmen Andrade, Joost Gulikers, Rob Polder ... This book presents key advances in the modeling of reinforcement
corrosion and concrete durability. It also examines various further
aspects of reinforcement corrosion and concrete durability, striking a
balance between modeling and testing. Particular attention is paid to
innovative treatments for avoiding deterioration, and to methods for
modeling performance in a real environment. Some basic aspects related
to non-destructive testing techniques are also discussed.
Deterioration-related topics addressed in the book include the basis for
modeling alkali-silica reactions, chloride diffusion and the
development of concrete microstructure; measurement-related topics
include cathodic protection, polarization resistance and resistivity. A
combined approach using the AFM technique and polarization measurements
is examined, and the relation between cracking and corrosion and the
treatment of concrete with hydrophobes or innovative products such as
hydrotalcite is also discussed.
