Corrosion of Steel in Concrete Structures 2nd Edition

Corrosion of Steel in Concrete Structures, 2nd Edition by Amir Poursaee is an essential, up-to-date resource for engineers, researchers and infrastructure professionals tackling the worldwide challenge of reinforced concrete deterioration. This authoritative volume opens with a clear, compelling overview of why corrosion remains the leading cause of concrete asset degradation—from coastal bridges and marine platforms to urban buildings and underground structures.

Delving into the science and practice, the book explains corrosion mechanisms, electrochemical processes, and the influence of environment and materials on durability. Readers will find practical guidance on inspection techniques, monitoring strategies, predictive modeling and life‑cycle assessment tailored to real-world conditions across Europe, North America, Asia‑Pacific and other regions. Built for both academics and practitioners, the 2nd edition updates design recommendations, mitigation technologies and repair methods that reduce maintenance costs and extend service life.

Vivid case studies and problem-driven insights translate complex theory into actionable solutions for owners, consulting engineers and construction managers. Whether you’re specifying materials for a coastal project, diagnosing chloride-induced corrosion, or planning a repair strategy, this book equips you with evidence-based tools to make confident, cost-effective decisions.

A must-have reference for anyone responsible for the safety and longevity of concrete infrastructure, Corrosion of Steel in Concrete Structures, 2nd Edition combines scientific rigor with practical relevance—helping you protect assets, comply with modern standards and deliver resilient structures worldwide.
