Performance of Concrete in Marine Environment
Also Known As:
ACI SP-65:1980 is a collection of 33 papers from 12 countries that focuses on the durability and performance of concrete in a marine environment. The papers cover various aspects such as the review of concrete durability in sea water, permeability of concrete in sea water, physio-chemical studies of cement pastes, mortars, and concretes exposed to sea water, mechanisms of corrosion of reinforcing steel, case histories of concrete performance in sea water, accelerated tests, and repair techniques.
The standard includes research reports on the performance of lightweight concrete in sea water and the use of corrosion inhibitors. It also covers topics such as the behavior of reinforced concrete beams and post-tensioned test beams exposed to marine environments, durability of concrete containing granulated blast slag or fly ash, mechanisms of corrosion of steel in concrete, field tests of reinforcement corrosion, chloride corrosion of reinforcing steel in cracked concrete, and bond deterioration due to corrosion of reinforcing steel.
Other topics covered in the standard include marine corrosion behavior of reinforced concrete, behavior of sulfur-infiltrated concrete, durability of concrete structures along coastlines, performance of protection methods for reinforced concrete, repair of concrete in marine environments, deterioration and repairs of navigation lock concrete, and the influence of Ca(NO2)2 on sea water corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete.
