Beskrivning
This book demonstrates how modern concrete performs when the environment pushes it to the limit.Today’s buildings must withstand far more than everyday wear and tear from accidental impacts and explosions to extreme weather, chemical exposure, and seismic events. As the demands on structures grow, so does the need for reliable, science‑based guidance on designing concrete that can endure these challenges.This book brings together real‑world insights from experts working at the forefront of concrete performance in extreme conditions. It highlights what happens when materials are pushed beyond conventional expectations and offers practical knowledge for designers, engineers, and construction professionals who must ensure long‑term safety and durability.Key points:Includes accounts of concrete in severe environments, showing how it behaves under rare and extreme conditions.Provides clear explanations of why material failures occur.Gives expert guidance on designing and monitoring concrete structures exposed to fatigue, corrosion, de‑icing salts, buried environments, geothermal conditions, and biogenic reactions.Plenty of case studies from nuclear waste storage to large dams, offering lessons that can be applied across a wide range of projects.By combining scientific understanding with professional experience, this book provides a practical resource for anyone involved in creating concrete structures that must stand up to the unexpected.

Recensioner i media

`there are many books that examine the behaviour of concrete in adverse environment...but this takes concrete to another level... the chapters describe actual experiences in these unusual environments. ...this is a reassuring book that shows that concrete can be designed to deal with some of the most severe, extreme environments from around the world'. Concrete -------------------- 'To help increase access to a range of experiences, the chapters in the book have covered areas such as recognizing severe environments, construction materials failures with concrete in extreme environments, high cycle fatigue of concrete structures in harsh environments both in design and monitoring... ...will provide a valuable tool for practising engineers...' Concrete Plant + Precast Technology------------------‘…a variety of authors describe their experience in using concrete in such environments as concrete dams, sewer networks, heavily-salted roadways, nuclear waste containers, and offshore wind-turbine towers…Survival depends upon…having a deep understanding of these forces both in the lab and in service’. Concrete Construction
