Abstract

The vast majority of the world’s concrete infrastructure was built around the middle of the twentieth century, and for the most part is now approaching an age of half a century or more. In many cases, the structures are showing signs of degradation mechanisms such as corrosion of the steel reinforcement, alkali-silica reaction (ASR), and freeze-thaw.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The situation is different in groundwater transport, where the homogeneous reactions are an important part of the pollutant movement process (see for instance MacQuarrie and Mayer 2005).
