General Considerations
In recent decades, numerous concrete structures have shown severe durability problems. Degradation mechanisms such as alkali silica reaction, chloride penetration, carbonation, acid attack, biogenic sulfuric acid attack, etc. have necessitated the complete renewal of some structures. Apart from the inconvenience and even occasional loss of life caused by the failure of structures, these degradation problems have caused huge financial losses. These include not only the cost of repair and restoration of structures, but also the economic losses caused for example by traffic problems during the temporary closure of bridges, roads and tunnels. It is therefore important to tackle these problems by formulating the most appropriate concrete compositions and by taking protective measures.
