Features: This book is primarily intended for technical personnel involved in infrastructure design, construction, supervision, maintenance, management, and testing, as well as related corrosion prevention professionals. It aims to make the concepts of durability, corrosion prevention knowledge, and skills deeply rooted, widely valued, and effectively utilized. Infrastructure refers to large-scale civil engineering facilities primarily composed of reinforced concrete structures. Infrastructure is the lifeline of a nation's economy and the foundation for sustainable development. This is an informative and popular science reading material. The book is divided into 30 topics and 300 questions, which not only elaborate on the basic concepts, principles, technologies, and methods of durability and corrosion prevention but also conduct in-depth discussions on important and practical issues such as corrosion diagnosis and repair of infrastructure, life prediction, the corrosivity of de-icing agents, the sea sand house phenomenon, and the whole-life economic analysis method. It enables readers to both expand their scientific knowledge and master protective skills. The author has written this book based on 40 years of research and practical experience in corrosion engineering. Author Hong Naifeng is a Professor-Level Senior Engineer at the General Research Institute for Non-ferrous Metals and Construction, a Standing Committee Member of the China Corrosion and Protection Society, and specializes in building corrosion prevention, particularly in the detection and protection of steel corrosion and the durability of concrete. He is passionate about science popularization and public awareness campaigns. The book is filled with the author's sense of responsibility to the nation and creative enthusiasm.
