Corrosion of steel reinforcement is a major threat to the durability and structural integrity of concrete structures. It can lead to significant structural damage, costly repairs, and even catastrophic failures. This book provides a comprehensive overview of corrosion in steel-reinforced concrete structures, including causes, prevention, diagnosis, and repair techniques.

The book is divided into three parts.

Part 1: Corrosion of Steel in Concrete
Part 2: Prevention of Corrosion in Steel-Reinforced Concrete
Part 3: Diagnosis and Repair of Corrosion in Concrete Structures

Part 1: Corrosion of Steel in Concrete

This part of the book provides a detailed overview of the corrosion process in steel-reinforced concrete structures. It covers the following topics:

The basics of corrosion
The electrochemical mechanism of corrosion in concrete
The role of concrete properties in corrosion
The influence of environmental factors on corrosion
The different types of corrosion in steel-reinforced concrete

Part 2: Prevention of Corrosion in Steel-Reinforced Concrete

This part of the book discusses the various methods that can be used to prevent corrosion in steel-reinforced concrete structures. It covers the following topics:

The use of corrosion-resistant materials
The use of protective coatings
The use of cathodic protection
The use of inhibitors
Design and construction practices to minimize corrosion

Part 3: Diagnosis and Repair of Corrosion in Concrete Structures

This part of the book provides guidance on how to diagnose and repair corrosion in steel-reinforced concrete structures. It covers the following topics:

The visual inspection of concrete structures for signs of corrosion
The electrochemical testing of concrete structures for corrosion
The use of nondestructive testing techniques to detect corrosion
The repair of corroded concrete structures
The evaluation of the effectiveness of corrosion repairs

Who Should Read This Book?

This book is essential reading for anyone who is involved in the design, construction, or maintenance of concrete structures. It is also a valuable resource for students of civil engineering and materials science.
