Vida útil de estructuras de hormigón pretensado

The specialized book "Service Life of Prestressed Concrete Structures" offers a comprehensive analysis of the lifespan of prestressed concrete structures. It highlights the essential aspects of structural resilience that go beyond mechanical loads. Special attention is given to environmental influences and the long-term durability of the materials used. The author, Mariela Cordero Verge, presents a detailed research project that examines the various materials of prestressed concrete and develops a model for lifespan estimation. This model takes into account the ingress of chloride ions into the materials and reflects the real conditions to which the structures are exposed. The book is aimed at professionals and students in the fields of mathematics and natural sciences who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the longevity of concrete structures.
