Integral Waterproofing of Concrete Structures: Advanced Protection Technologies of Concrete by Pore Blocking and Lining

Integral Waterproofing of Concrete Structures: Advanced Protection Technologies of Concrete by Pore Blocking and Lining demonstrates how integral waterproofing technologies can solve concrete durability problems based on performance and characterization experimental results. The book covers background, considers concrete durability problems from the perspective of water penetration, including damages from freeze-thaw cycles, alkali silica reactions, and chloride ion penetration. In addition, it explores mechanisms, applications, performances and limitations of waterproofing technologies, including coatings and integral systems. Final sections showcase all application methods of crystallization waterproofing materials, including material spray on cured concrete and on fresh concrete and their addition to concrete mix designs as enhancers or admixtures. Pore-blocking and lining waterproofing systems, including silicate-based and hygroscopic kinds and other waterproofing materials, are also discussed. Includes various, advanced, recent technologies in the field of waterproofing Presents and describes enhanced concrete characteristics and modified structures within the context of material engineering Summarizes the characteristics of waterproofing systems obtained from experimental results INDICE: 1.
