Engineers increasingly face durability issues in concrete design and construction with the emphasis slowly but inexorably shifting to "design for durability." Growing pressure from owners and infrastructure agencies for designers and constructors to deliver durable concrete infrastructure, coupled with a focus on sustainability, requires that engineers have the latest tools to handle these challenges. This book provides an up-to-date survey of durability issues, including durability design and specifications as well as how to actually achieve durability in concrete construction.
