Features: This book is one of the "Brief Series on Civil Engineering" compiled by the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University. The corrosion of steel bars caused by chlorides is one of the major factors leading to poor durability of reinforced concrete structures, resulting in significant economic losses. Based on an overview of the current status of chloride-induced degradation of reinforced concrete structures and the technical approaches to enhance their chloride resistance, this book highlights that high-performance chloride-resistant concrete is a crucial solution to this problem. The book first introduces how to consider the chloride resistance of concrete from environmental conditions and structural design aspects, then focuses on the raw material requirements, concrete mix design methods, construction precautions, and engineering examples of several types of high-performance chloride-resistant concrete. Finally, it covers quality inspection methods and crack repair techniques for high-performance chloride-resistant concrete. This book can serve as a reference for researchers, designers, constructors, and supervisors engaged in civil engineering, water conservancy and hydropower engineering, as well as materials science in civil engineering, from universities and research institutions.
