Corrosion of Reinforced Concrete Structures 1st Edition

Corrosion of Reinforced Concrete Structures (1st Edition) by Guofu Qiao, Bingbing Guo, and Jinping Ou is an authoritative, practical guide for engineers, researchers, and asset managers confronting deterioration in modern infrastructure. This concise, well-structured volume captures the science and practice of reinforced concrete corrosion with clarity and technical rigor.

Begin with compelling real-world context: why corrosion undermines bridges, tunnels, marine structures, and urban buildings—and why timely assessment matters for safety and lifecycle cost. The authors translate complex electrochemical mechanisms into accessible explanations, then move from diagnosis to action: inspection techniques, non-destructive testing, durability modeling, and predictive maintenance strategies tailored for diverse environments from coastal to cold-climate settings.

Readers will appreciate the book’s emphasis on actionable solutions: corrosion mitigation, repair materials and methods, cathodic protection, and design principles to enhance long-term performance. Case studies and comparative analyses illustrate how theory applies to rehabilitation projects in Asia, Europe, North America and beyond, making the content globally relevant for practitioners working on transportation, water, and industrial facilities.

Engineered for clarity and usability, this first edition is ideal for structural and civil engineers, postgraduate students in materials and infrastructure, and consultants seeking a reliable reference on concrete durability and structural rehabilitation. Its blend of science, field-tested practice, and strategic guidance makes it both a learning resource and a practical toolkit.

For professionals committed to protecting built assets and extending service life, Corrosion of Reinforced Concrete Structures is an essential, practical addition to your library.
