Guide to Design and Construction Practices to Mitigate Corrosion of Reinforcement in Concrete Structures

Description Guide to Design and Construction Practices to Mitigate Corrosion of Reinforcement in Concrete Structures Corrosion of metals in concrete is a serious type of deterioration that affects concrete in service. Corrosion is seen in parking structures, marine structures, industrial plants, buildings, bridges, and pavements. The Federal Highway Administration published a report in 2001 that […]

Code Requirements for Nuclear Safety-Related Concrete Structures(ACI 349M-06) and Commentary

Description This Code provides minimum requirements fordesign and construction of nuclear safety-related concrete structures and structural members for nuclear power generatingstations. Safety-related structures and structural members subject to this standard are those concrete structures that support, house, or protect nuclear safety class systems or component parts of nuclear safety class systems. Specifically excluded from this

Control of Cracking of Concrete Structures 6

Control of Cracking of Concrete Structures

Description Cracking plays an important role in concrete’s response toload in both tension and compression. The earliest studies ofthe microscopic behavior of concrete involved the responseof concrete to compressive stress. That early work showedthat the stress-strain response of concrete is closely associatedwith the formation of microcracks, that is, cracks that form atcoarse-aggregate boundaries (bond cracks)
