Repair and Rehabilitation of Reinforced Concrete Structures
Proceedings of an international seminar, workshop, and exhibition, held in Maracaibo, Venezuela, April 28-May 1, 1997. Sponsored by National Science Foundation; Science and Technology Program (CYTED). Organized by NACE International Latin American Region Venezuelan Section; Venezuelan Corrosion Association (ASVENCOR); the Center for Hemispherical Cooperation (CoHemis), University of Puerto Rico; Center for Corrosion Studies, Universidad del Zulia, Maracaibo, Venezuela. This collection contains 17 papers that present international knowledge about reinforced concrete structures. Papers also describe future directions and propose joint research projects for repair and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures. Topics include: corrosion, service life, new materials, concrete block deterioration, vibration measurements, stainless steel rebar behaviors, and diagnosis and repair procedures resulting from overloads on a concrete parking structure. Summaries of workshop discussions are presented in Spanish and English.
Concrete in the Service of Mankind
This fourth volume of Concrete in the Service of Mankind focuses on radical concrete technology. Concrete is ubiquitous and unique, and is found in every developed and developing country. Indeed, there are no alternatives to concrete as a volume construction material for infrastructure. This raises important questions of how concrete should be designed and constructed for cost effective use in the the short and long term, and to encourage further radical development. Equally, it must be environmentally friendly during manufacture, in an aesthetic presentation in structures and in the containment of harmful materials. This book should be of interest to concrete technologists; contractors; civil engineers; consultants; government agencies; research organizations.
SPI/CI 52nd Annual Conference and Exposition 1997
This book is a collection of the marketing/technical/regulatory sessions of the Composites Institute's International Composites EXPO '97 held at Nashville, Tennessee on January 27-29, 1997.
Corrosion Forms and Control for Infrastructure
Twenty-five papers originally presented at the ASTM symposium held in San Diego, Calif., November 1991, provide innovative, successful techniques for the practicing engineer, scientist, and others involved with corrosion control for infrastructure. Practical experiences and applications as well as n
Waterproofing Membranes for Concrete Bridge Decks
This synthesis will be of interest to research, specifications, materials, design, and construction engineers; contract and specification administrators; agency project managers and staff; and concrete bridge deck construction contractors. This synthesis describes the state of the practice with respect to the development and present status of waterproofing membranes for concrete bridge decks. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the use of waterproofing systems applied to new bridge decks and the rehabilitation of deteriorated concrete bridge decks. In addition, this synthesis describes current practice with regard to methods for assessing the effectiveness of membranes, criteria for use, installation practices, and factors that affect the performance of waterproofing systems in new construction and rehabilitation. Suggestions for future research are also included.
Petrography Applied to Concrete and Concrete Aggregates
Fourteen papers from the Symposium on [title] held on June 26, 1989 in St. Louis cover approaches, examination, and specimen preparation of concrete and aggregates for petrographic studies; petrographic examination of aggregate problems; and petrography applied to solving varieties of concrete probl
Protection of Concrete
Concrete is arguably the major construction material used worldwide. It has generally served well, yet too often it has failed to achieve the required performance. Although developments in materials and practice have widened the scope for the use of concrete, they have also had effects on its performance. This book presents current thinking and future developments on means of protecting concrete and ensuring its adequate performance in the required application.
