Marine Concrete Structures: Design, Durability and Performance
comprehensively examines structures located in, under, or in close
proximity to the sea. A major emphasis of the book is on the long-term
performance of marine concrete structures that not only represent major
infrastructure investment and provision, but are also required to
operate with minimal maintenance. Chapters review the design,
specification, construction, and operation of marine concrete
structures, and examine their performance and durability in the marine
environment. A number of case studies of significant marine concrete
structures from around the world are included which help to reinforce
the principles outlined in earlier chapters and provide useful
background to these types of structures. The result is a thorough and
up-to-date reference source that engineers, researchers, and
postgraduate students in this field will find invaluable. Covers, in detail, the design, specification, construction, and operation of marine concrete structures * Examines the properties and performance of concrete in the marine environment * Provides case studies on significant marine concrete structures and durability-based design from around the world.
