This is a worldwide issue that imposes an enormous cost. Yet, it can be resisted by using test methods and relevant models for service life prediction. \u003cem\u003eResistance of Concrete to Chloride Ingress\u003c\/em\u003e sets out current understanding of chloride transport mechanisms, test methods, and prediction models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt describes basic mechanisms and theories, and classifies the commonly used parameters and their units which express chloride and its transport properties in concrete. Laboratory test methods and in-field applicable test methods, including precision results from inter-laboratory comparison tests, are then outlined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the fundamentals of models are explained, and the different types of models are then analysed theoretically and critically. Analytical and probabilistic approaches are used to analyse the sensitivity of various models, and the results from a benchmarking evaluation of different models are presented and discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGuidelines for the practical use of test methods and models are given, including tests for in-situ applications, and test methods validated by the precision results are detailed. The book draws to a large extent on the Chlortest project, which involved seventeen partners from ten European countries, and serves as an authoritative guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607504634092,"sku":"9780415486149","price":482.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780415486149-resistance-of-concrete-to-chloride-ingress.jpg?v=1778168815"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/p-a-muhammed-basheer.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
