The deterioration of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures resulting from the corrosion of the steel reinforcement is a worldwide problem. As long as salt is used for de-icing or structures are built near the coast, chloride will continue to be a primary factor in compromising the durability of a structure. This report deals specifically with the ingress of salt from the environment, which can lead to severe corrosion of reinforcement. It reviews the international state-of-the-art with regard to chloride ingress into concrete and, in particular, considers: - The influence of concreting materials, mix design, curing and environment - methods for the detection of chloride ingress in structures - techniques used for studying chloride ingress
The publication includes detailed contractor checklist (storage; handling and installation of CPF filter fabric; related formwork and construction requirements) and six detailed case studies. This report is a product of the collaborativeprogramme between CIRIA and The Concrete Society, entitled "Concrete Techniques-Site Operations".
This book provides practitioners with a step-by-step guide on how to conduct efficiency analysis using the stochastic frontier approach.
