Developments in the Formulation and Reinforcement of Concrete, Second Edition, presents the latest developments on topics covered in the first edition. In addition, it includes new chapters on supplementary cementitious materials, mass concrete, the sustainably of concrete, service life prediction, limestone cements, the corrosion of steel in concrete, alkali-aggregate reactions, and concrete as a multiscale material. The book's chapters introduce the reader to some of the most important issues facing today's concrete industry. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, users will find this to be a must-have reference for civil and structural engineers.

This book provides an up-to-date survey of durability issues, with a particular focus on specification and design, and how to achieve durability in actual concrete construction. It is aimed at the practising engineer, but is also a valuable resource for graduate-level programs in universities. Along with background to current philosophies it gathers together in one useful reference a summary of current knowledge on concrete durability, includes information on modern concrete materials, and shows how these materials can be combined to produce durable concrete. The approach is consistent with the increasing focus on sustainability that is being addressed by the concrete industry, with the current emphasis on ‘design for durability’.

This book gathers peer-reviewed contributions presented at the 1st Interdisciplinary Symposium on Smart & Sustainable Infrastructure (ISSSI), held in Vancouver, BC, Canada, on September 4–8, 2023, and affiliated with the 77th RILEM Annual Week 2023. Aiming at creating an environment of mutual cooperation between experts in materials and structures, it covers topics such as sensors, IoT, and structural health monitoring, AI and machine learning, data analytics for infrastructure management, nanotechnology, additive manufacturing, smart and bioinspired materials, durability of materials and structures, resilience to earthquakes, floods, fire and blast, carbon reduction in construction and operations, and sustainable ultra-high performance materials. The contributions, which were selected through a rigorous international peer-review process, share exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster new multidisciplinary collaborations.
