Enhance the durability and longevity of critical infrastructure with this essential book that provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary guide to the fundamentals of concrete corrosion and practical solutions using advanced anti-corrosion technologies and sustainable practices. Concrete is the backbone of modern infrastructure, forming the foundation of bridges, high-ways, buildings, and countless other structures worldwide. Yet despite its strength and versatility, concrete is highly susceptible to corrosion, leading to structural degradation, safety risks, and costly repairs. Addressing this challenge requires a multidisciplinary approach that integrates fundamental corrosion science with cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices. Corrosion in Concrete Structures is a comprehensive guide to understanding and addressing corrosion in concrete. Starting with the fundamentals, this book explores the material properties of concrete, the key concepts behind corrosion, and the environments that make concrete prone to degradation. Readers will gain in-depth knowledge of corrosion assessment, inspection techniques, and the environmental and sustainability implications of concrete corrosion. The book also delves into the role of advanced anti-corrosion technologies, including coatings, sealants, and cathodic protection systems. It examines corrosion inhibitors and their applications, offering practical solutions for reducing corrosion in real-world settings. With case studies and innovations in concrete corrosion control, this book serves as an invaluable resource for engineers, researchers, and industry professionals seeking to enhance the durability and sustainability of concrete structures in the face of corrosion challenges. Audience Engineers, materials scientists, chemists, academics, and researchers in the fields of civil engineering, structural engineering, and materials science, specifically those involved in the development of sustainable and innovative corrosion prevention technologies within the concrete and construction sectors.

Corrosion is a major cause of structural degradation in buildings and infrastructure, leading to significant impacts to the economy and public safety. Concern is growing about the deterioration and corrosion of critical infrastructure, such as towers, bridges, highways and tall buildings. Monitoring and addressing the condition of such assets requires an understanding of corrosion and the factors that may influence it. However, this is a complex issue spanning multiple disciplines, including engineering, materials science, architecture and construction.Starting with the underlying chemical processes and common corrosion challenges, this book explores the nature of corrosion in a range of structures and their environmental, material and maintenance aspects. Effective inspection methods are explored, with practical strategies for mitigation and remediation. New opportunities with machine learning and artificial intelligence are also discussed, offering innovative solutions and making this an essential reference for anyone working on or studying the preservation of architectural structures and critical infrastructure.
