Abstract
Examines the durability of steel in concrete. With part 2 on investigation and assessment, and part 3 on protection and remedial work, it sets out the basic principles for all those concerned with the design and maintenance of durable concrete structures, in particular the design, inspection and assessment, as well as with the remediation and protection of concrete structures. It also examines existing standards of construction and the lessons learned from the investigation of cases of corrosion in concrete. This part of the digest provides concise guidance on the format for investigations of corrosion of steel in concrete, the techniques employed and how this can lead to a prognosis for the future performance of existing reinforced concrete structures.
