    About this ebook

    Transport Properties of Concrete: Modelling the Durability of Structures, Second Edition, covers how to measure transport properties and use the results to model performance. The transport properties of concrete and measurements of the ability of ions and fluids to move through the material. These properties largely determine the durability of concrete and of steel embedded within it, as well as the effectiveness of structures such as waste containment barriers. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the subject and will be of use to all concerned with the durability and effectiveness of concrete structures.
    • Includes a new chapter on modelling the durability of concrete structures showing how both diffusion and pressure driven flow should be included
    • Covers the problems that occur when carrying out transport tests on concrete incorporating both traditional and newer cement replacements
    • Shows how properties such as permeabilty which are needed for modelling may be derived from in situ tests on structures
