Synopsis

Concrete is the most widely used modern building material, yet despite this there are still many problems in ascertaining concrete durability, performance, repair and maintenance. In particular, considerable sums are being spent on the repair and maintenance of concrete structures and elements, and central to this is a requirement for accurate and diagnostic testing of concrete and cementitious materials. The new edition of this successful book is a careful revision which takes into account the trends and developments in concrete testing assessment, repair and maintenance that have occurred since publication of the first edition. New sections provide a more thorough treatment of partially destructive test methods, and provide a full description of tests which are aimed at assessing the integrity, durability and performance of concrete structures.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Providing a comprehensive overview of the techniques involved in testing concrete in structures, Testing of Concrete in Structures discusses both established techniques and new methods, showing potential for future development, and documenting them with illustrative examples. Topics have been expanded where significant advances have taken place in the field, for example integrity assessment, sub-surface radar, corrosion assessment and localized dynamic response tests. This fourth edition also covers the new trends in equipment and procedures, such as the continuation of general moves to automate test methods and developments in digital technology and the growing importance of performance monitoring, and includes new and updated references to standards.

The non-specialist civil engineer involved in assessment, repair or maintenance of concrete structures will find this a thorough update.
