Durability and Sustainability of Concrete: Case Studies for Concrete Exposures

This book provides practicing engineers with a step by step approach for making durable concrete with optimum use of the local materials available within the various regions of the United States. It further includes actual concrete mixture proportions for high performance concrete for strength and durability under various aggressive environments based on the author's experience in the field, and support this with illustrative case studies. Examples for concrete mixture proportions, based on the current industry practice and standards, are highlighted to assist engineers in meeting the intended performance requirements (for specific environment conditions) for durable concrete. Covering an important topic for the construction and building materials industries,

Maximizes practicing engineers' understanding of best design and construction practices in fabricating, delivery, and installation of concrete, consistent with current knowledge on concrete durability
Discusses quality control and testing requirements during design and construction, including mixing, production, and placement of concrete and tolerances for slump and air content
Emphasizes real-world examples of optimal concrete mixtures, suitable for selected service conditions and applications, based on prior successful records of projects within the US
Addresses the role of innovative admixtures in concrete placement in cold weather conditions below 32F and meeting the strength and durability requirements
Serves as a valuable resource for students in graduate programs
