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 state of chloride-induced degradation of reinforced concrete structures and the technical approaches to enhance their resistance to chlorides, this book highlights that high-performance concrete with chloride resistance is a crucial solution to this problem. The book first introduces how to consider the chloride resistance of concrete from the perspectives of environmental conditions and structural design, then focuses on the material requirements, concrete mix design methods, construction precautions, and engineering examples of several types of chloride-resistant high-performance concrete. Finally, it covers the quality inspection methods and crack repair techniques for chloride-resistant high-performance concrete. This book is suitable for researchers, designers, constructors, and supervisors engaged in civil engineering, water conservancy and hydropower engineering, as well as materials science in civil engineering, as well as faculty and students in relevant fields at universities.
