Abstract "Deteriorating concrete needs assessing for causes, extent of effects, and structural evaluation such as mechanical properties, physical integrity and durability, and to plan repair. This book looks particularly at internal swelling reaction mechanisms such as alkali-aggregate reaction, delayed ettringite formation, and freeze-thaw cycles. It outlines qualitative and advanced protocols for multi-level assessment, using advanced microscopic and mechanical techniques, particularly the stiffness damage test and damage rating index/image analysis. The book includes a detailed case study of the Robert-Bourassa Charest Bridge in Quebec"-- Provided by publisher.
