Excellent- More about Internal Swelling Reactions in Concrete: Mechanisms and Condition Assessment
This book examines the causes and extent of deterioration caused by internal swelling reaction (ISR) mechanisms in concrete, such as alkali-aggregate reaction, delayed ettringite formation, and freeze-thaw cycles. It provides accessible and comprehensive coverage of recent work and developments on ISR mechanisms, outlines qualitative and quantitative techniques to assess the condition of affected concrete, and introduces a multi-level assessment protocol using advanced microscopic and mechanical techniques.

As critical concrete infrastructure deteriorates, engineers must employ efficient and reliable techniques to assess the causes and extent of deterioration, evaluate the structural consequences, and select effective management protocols and rehabilitation strategies. This comprehensive book delves into the deterioration caused by internal swelling reaction (ISR) mechanisms in concrete, including alkali-aggregate reaction, delayed ettringite formation, and freeze-thaw cycles. It offers accessible and comprehensive coverage of recent work and developments on the most common ISR mechanisms leading to induced expansion and deterioration. The book addresses the implications of ISR on various scales, from micro to meso to macro, outlines qualitative and quantitative techniques to assess the condition of affected concrete, and introduces the multi-level assessment protocol, utilizing advanced microscopic and mechanical techniques, particularly the stiffness damage test and damage rating index, as a reliable approach to appraise ISR-affected infrastructure. Additionally, a detailed case study of the Robert-Bourassa Charest Overpass in Quebec is included to illustrate the practical applications of these methodologies.
Internal Swelling Reactions in Concrete: Mechanisms and Condition Assessment is primarily designed for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as academics with an interest in concrete durability and condition assessment. It will also be valuable to engineers and infrastructure owners grappling with ISR-related issues.
