Following the very successful 1st conference in Sapporo, Japan in 1995, the 2nd conference presents a series of papers on concrete structures which are subjected to severe environmental forces. Recent experience of the performance of concrete structures has demonstrated the need for a better integration of structural and durability design; the development of new design concepts; and an improvement in the basis for the operation and maintenance of concrete structures, including repair and retro-fitting. This book addresses all these important issues.
Concrete structures are able to withstand long-term exposure in the most arduous environments and conditions. But to achieve successful performance, selection of materials, design and construction procedures must be exceptionally well planned and carried out. Extremes of heat and cold, and chemically aggressive environments all make their own particular demands on concrete structures, but the microstructural processes which determine performance have many features in common. This international overview of current research and development contains the papers presented at the First International Conference on Concrete under Severe Conditions, held in Sapporo, Japan, in August 1995.

By designing in corrosion prevention and through preventive maintenance, the overall service cost of a concrete structure can be substantially reduced. This book takes a probabilistic approach to the engineering design issues for controlling durability and service life of concrete structures in severe environments. Many durability problems are caused by poor quality control as well as special problems during concrete construction. The issue of construction quality and variability need to be grasped before durability can be successfully controlled. This book helps by giving: reviews of field performance, deteriorating processes and current codes and practice methods for calculation of corrosion probability; performance-based concrete quality control; corrosion prevention and preventive maintenance calculation of life cycle costs and life cycle assessment recommended job specifications. Internationally relevant with a practical focus, this is the essential guide for consulting and construction engineers involved in the design and execution of new concrete structures.
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 8th International Conference on Concrete under Severe Conditions - Environment and Loading - CONSEC2016, September 12-14, 2016, Lecco, Italy
Concrete technology for a sustainable development in the 21st century focuses on the problems and challenges for the concrete industry today and in the future with particular emphasis on environmental consiousness. Primary topics include: the improvement of concretes service life to ease technical and economical problems and the waste of natural resources; environmentally friendly concrete production including new production methods and recycling materials; and actually using concrete to solve environmental problems, for example through the containment of hazardous waste. The book is the result of the international workshop held in Lofoton, Norway. With very select contributions from the most distinguished international professional experts, this book provides a basic framework and guidelines for national and international bodies.
