Corrosion of Steel in Concrete Structures

Essential reading for researchers, practitioners and engineers, Corrosion of Steel in Concrete Structures, Second Edition covers not only all the important aspects in the field of corrosion of steel reinforced concrete, but also discusses new topics and future trends. Part One tackles theoretical concepts of corrosion of steel in concrete structures. The second part moves on to analyse the variety of reinforcing materials and concrete, including stainless steel and galvanized steel. Part Three covers measurements and evaluations, such as electrochemical techniques and acoustic emission. Part Four reviews protection and maintenance methods, whilst the final section analyses modelling, latest developments and future trends in the field.

The second edition includes new and expanded coverage of key emerging topics such as: the steel/concrete interface, the influence of steel microstructure on its corrosion in concrete, data collection and analysis on chloride-induced corrosion, corrosion detection devices, and new advances in using molecular dynamics for modelling corrosion.
