Durability of Concrete : Design and Construction Hardback
by Mark (University of Cape Town, Rondebosch, South Africa) Alexander, Arnon Bentur, Sidney (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada) Mindess
Part of the Modern Concrete Technology series
Hardback
Description
This book provides an up-to-date survey of durability issues, with a particular focus on specification and design, and how to achieve durability in actual concrete construction.
It is aimed at the practising engineer, but is also a valuable resource for graduate-level programs in universities.
Along with background to current philosophies it gathers together in one useful reference a summary of current knowledge on concrete durability, includes information on modern concrete materials, and shows how these materials can be combined to produce durable concrete.
The approach is consistent with the increasing focus on sustainability that is being addressed by the concrete industry, with the current emphasis on ‘design for durability’.
