Features: This book adopts a research methodology that combines theoretical analysis, experimental research, and practical engineering testing and evaluation to systematically introduce the durability issues of concrete structures. It covers the fundamental corrosion mechanisms of concrete structures, the main influencing factors of corrosion, the corrosive effects of chlorides, on-site electrochemical testing techniques for steel corrosion and case studies, multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of corrosion damage in service concrete structures, staged rate models for steel corrosion in concrete, time-varying resistance analysis of corroded concrete structures, dynamic reliability analysis of corroded concrete structures, structural optimization design and scheme evaluation based on structural durability, active and passive corrosion control, optimal maintenance decision-making and engineering evaluation for corroded concrete structures.
This book is suitable for researchers and engineering technicians in civil engineering, faculty and graduate students in universities and colleges, as well as undergraduate students.
