Description
Résumé : Chloride ingress in reinforced concrete is a major problem, inducing corrosion and consequent spalling and structural weakness. It occurs worldwide and imposes enormous costs. In order to guarantee the integrity of concrete structures and maintain them properly to achieve their designed service life, test methods and relevant models for service life prediction are required. Setting out current understanding of chloride transport mechanisms, test methods and prediction models, this book: describes basic mechanisms and theories; classifies the commonly used parameters and units which express chloride and its transport properties; outlines laboratory and in-field test methods including precision results from inter-laboratory comparison tests; explains some of the fundamentals underlying the main models; carries out a theoretical appraisal of different models; uses analytical and probabilistic approaches for sensitivity analysis of various models; presents and discusses the results from a benchmarking evaluation of different models; gives guidelines for the practical use of test methods and models, including tests for in situ applications. Test methods validated by the precision results are detailed in an appendix. Providing practising engineers, designers, researchers, advanced students and other professionals with a useful reference for the analysis and design of concrete structures exposed to chloride environments, the book draws on the CHLORTEST project, which involved seventeen partners from ten European countries, and will serve as an authoritative guide for some time to come.
