Sulfate Attack on Concrete

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sulfate attack is one of several mechanisms of concrete deterioration. An excess of sulfate leads to detrimental chemical and physical changes in the concrete, resulting in increased porosity and permeability and decreased mechanical properties of the concrete. This book provides a comprehensive reference to this important subject, covering: a short history of concrete deterioration due to sulfate attack, the origin of sulfates in concrete, the importance of appropriate concrete processing, forms and physical-chemical mechanisms of concrete deterioration due to sulfates, preventative measures, standardisation and numerous case histories. Sulfate Attack on Concrete is an essential reference for industry practitioners involved in concrete science and engineering, and also for academics and researchers of materials science and concrete technology.
