Durability of Concrete-Effect of Temperature, Chloride & Sulphate

The textbook "Durability of Concrete - Effect of Temperature, Chloride & Sulphate" offers a comprehensive analysis of the durability of concrete in aggressive environments. It highlights the various environmental factors that influence the longevity of reinforced concrete structures and addresses the challenges of estimating durability that go beyond typical structural properties. The authors, Nilam Pramod Thorat and Pramod Raghunath Thorat, present experimental investigations that include the preparation, pouring, and testing of concrete specimens, as well as the effects of temperature, sulfate, and chloride attacks. This book is aimed at professionals and students in the fields of mathematics and natural sciences who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the factors affecting concrete durability. It serves as a valuable reference for anyone involved in the maintenance and protection of concrete structures.
