Introduction – Design life of Concrete Structures. Physical and Chemical Deterioration Mechanisms – an overview. Pore Structure and Transport Processes. Deterioration Mechanisms – Physical. - Abrasion resistance, - Freeze-thaw resistance (frost attack), - Fire resistance Deterioration Mechanisms – Chemical Acid attack. - Sulphate attack (including hydrogen sulphide attack). - Alkali-silica reaction - Steel reinforcement corrosion Carbonation induced corrosion of steel reinforcement. Chloride induced corrosion of steel reinforcement. Durability of non-Portland cement based binders – John Provis Durability of concretes with recycled demolition aggregate Durability Performance Tests - evaluating the durability of concrete mixes. Non-destructive testing and structural health monitoring to assist service life estimates and durability – Sreejith Nanukuttan & P.A. Muhammed Basheer. Modelling/Predicting the effects of deterioration mechanisms – to be expanded to include deterministically and probabilistic durability modelling techniques Construction materials that can be used to improve the durability performance of reinforced concrete structures (Materials selection for improved durability performance). - Chemical admixtures - Mineral admixtures. - Alternative materials for the reinforcement and prestressing of concrete. Construction processes for improved durability. - Concrete manufacture – Quality Control. - Specification and achievement of cover to reinforcement. - Curing of concrete. - Controlled permeability formwork. Design aspects that can reduce the risks from deteriorating mechanisms. Case studies of durability problems - more practical and recent examples of working (or not working). Repair Methods. Issues related to performance-based specifications for concrete Advances in durability design and performance-based specification Durability Design and Performance Based Specification of Concrete (EN206 Annex J) - more practical advice of how to get things done with “dos and don’ts”. (to combine above two into one chapter with more specific information relating to EN 206 and BS 8500). Service life design and whole life costing - Prof Evan Bentz
