ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESSES AND CORROSION IN REINFORCED CONCRETE (HB 2024) Hardcover

As reinforced concrete structures age, some experience premature corrosion, leading to substantial financial costs. However, the reasons behind the varying durability of these structures are not always obvious. This book explores the different mechanisms of corrosion and explains how what initially appeared to be a straightforward issue has become increasingly complex with deeper understanding, due to the properties of concrete, steel, and the methods used in constructing reinforced concrete structures. The book also highlights the importance of electrochemical processes and discusses recent advancements in research utilizing new technologies.
