Durability Design of ConcreteStructures in Severe EnvironmentsOdd E. Gjørv, Norwegian University of Science andTechnology, Norway
By designing in corrosionprevention and throughpreventive maintenance, theoverall service cost of a concretestructure can be substantiallyreduced. This book takes aprobabilistic approach to theengineering design issues forcontrolling durability and servicelife of concrete structures insevere environments. Manydurability problems are causedby poor quality control as well
as special problems during concrete construction. Theissue of construction quality and variability need to begrasped before durability can be successfully controlled.This book helps by giving:
• reviews of field performance, deteriorating processes and current codes and practice
• methods for calculation of corrosion probability; performance-based concrete quality control; corrosion prevention and preventive maintenance
• calculation of life cycle costs and life cycle assessment
• recommended job specifications.
Internationally relevant with a practical focus, this is theessential guide for consulting and constructionengineers involved in the design and execution of newconcrete structures.

FRP Composites for Reinforced andPrestressed Concrete StructuresA Guide to Fundamentals and Design for Repairand Retrofit
Perumalsamy Balaguru, Antonio Nanni, both atRutgers University, USA and James Giancaspro,University of Miami, USA
Series: Structural Engineering: Mechanics and Design
High strength fibre composites(FRPs) have been used with civilstructures since the 1980s, mostlyin the repair, strengthening andretrofitting of concrete structures.This has attracted considerableresearch, and the industry hasexpanded exponentially in the lastdecade. Design guidelines havebeen developed by professionalorganizations in a number ofcountries including USA, Japan,Europe and China, but until now
designers have had no publication which provides practicalguidance or accessible coverage of the fundamentals.
This book fills this void. It deals with the fundamentalsof composites, and basic design principles, and providesstep-by-step guidelines for design. Its main theme is therepair and retrofit of un-reinforced, reinforced andprestressed concrete structures using carbon, glass andother high strength fibre composites. In the case ofbeams, the focus is on their strengthening for flexureand shear or their stiffening. The main interest withcolumns is the improvement of their ductility; and bothstrengthening and ductility improvement of un-reinforced structures are covered. Methods forevaluating the strengthened structures are presented.Step-by-step procedures are set out, including flowcharts, for the various structural components, anddesign examples and practice problems.
As infrastructure ages worldwide, and its demolition andreplacement becomes less of an option, the need forrepair and retrofit of existing facilities will increase.

Reinforced Concrete Design withFRP CompositesHota V.S. GangaRao, Narendra Taly and P.V. Vijay
Although the use of composites has increased in manyindustrial, commercial, medical, and defenceapplications, there is a lack of technical literature thatexamines composites in conjunction with concreteconstruction. Fulfilling the need for a comprehensive,explicit guide, Reinforced Concrete Design with FRPComposites presents specific information necessary fordesigning concrete structures with fibre reinforcedpolymer (FRP) composites as a substitute for steelreinforcement and for using FRP fabrics to strengthenconcrete members.
In a reader-friendly, design-oriented manner, this bookdiscusses the analysis, design, durability, andserviceability of concrete members reinforced with FRP.The authors first introduce the elements that constitutecomposites-the structural constituent and matrix-anddiscuss how composites are manufactured. Following anexamination of the durability of FRP composites thatcontain fibres, such as glass, carbon, or aramid, thebook illustrates how FRP external reinforcement systems(FRP-ER) can be used for enhancing the strength andstiffness of concrete structures using theory and designprinciples. The concluding chapter concentrates onserviceability aspects of concrete members internallyreinforced with FRP.

High-Strength ConcreteA Practical Guide
Michael A. Caldarone, CTL Group, USA
This practical book from a highlyexperienced author presentsclearly the means and methodsfor designing, producing andusing high-strength concrete.
High-strength concrete offersmany benefits. Highercompressive strengths allow fora reduction in the cross-sectionaldimensions of columns andwalls in buildings. Its greaterstiffness allows for increasingbuilding heights while
controlling sway and occupant comfort. Civil structuressuch as bridges have benefited from greater spanlengths, shallower beam sections, wider girder spacing,and extended service life.
Illustrated with real life examples, through documentedcase histories, High-Strength Concrete will be a valuableresource for contractors, producers, inspection agencies,as well as engineers and researchers.

Resistance of Concrete to Chloride IngressTesting and Modelling

Chloride ingress in reinforced concrete induces corrosionand consequent spalling and structural weakness, and itoccurs world-wide and imposes an enormous cost. Yet itcan be resisted by using test methods and relevantmodels for service life prediction.
Resistance of Concrete to Chloride Ingress sets out currentunderstanding of chloride transport mechanisms, testmethods and prediction models. It describes basicmechanisms and theories, and classifies the commonlyused parameters and their units which express chlorideand its transport properties in concrete. Laboratory testmethods and in-field applicable test methods, includingprecision results from inter-laboratory comparison tests,are then outlined. Some of the fundamentals of modelsare explained, and the different types of models are thenanalyzed theoretically and critically. Analytical andprobabilistic approaches are used to analyze the sensitivityof various models and the results from a benchmarkingevaluation of different models are presented anddiscussed. Guidelines for the practical use of test methodsand models are given, including tests for in-situapplications, and test methods validated by the precisionresults are detailed.
The book draws to a large extent on the Chlortest project,which involved seventeen partners from ten Europeancountries, and should serve as an authoritative guide.

Sprayed Concrete Lined TunnelsAlun Thomas, Mott MacDonald, UK
Practising engineers on site, inthe design office or in clientorganizations will find this bookan excellent introduction to thedesign and construction ofsprayed concrete lined (SCL)tunnels. The complex behaviourof the early age sprayedconcrete requires carefulmanagement. This book coversall aspects of SCL tunnelling –from the constituents of sprayedconcrete to detailed design and
management during construction. Although there is aclose interdependence between all the facets of sprayedconcrete, few engineers have the right breadth ofexperience and expertise, and this urgently needs to betransferred to the wider engineering community.

Cement-Based CompositesMaterials, Mechanical Properties and Performance
Andrzej M. Brandt, Institute of FundamentalTechnological Research, Poland
Cement-Based Composites takesa different approach from mostother books in the field byviewing concrete as anadvanced composite material,and by considering theproperties and behaviour ofcement-based materials fromthis stance. It deals particularly,but not exclusively, with newerforms of cement-basedmaterials.
Emphasis is given to non-conventional reinforcementand design methods, problems at the materials’interfaces and to the durability of structures. Highstrength composites and novel forms of cement-basedcomposites are described in detail. After a basicintroduction the book explores the various componentsof these materials and their properties. It then deals withmechanical properties and considers characteristicsunder various loading and environmental conditions,and concludes by examining design, optimization andeconomics with particular emphasis on high-performance concretes.
