ACI SP-122:1990 PDF Download

The ACI SP-122:1990 is a comprehensive collection of 24 papers presented by international experts covering various aspects of concrete performance and rehabilitation. The symposium is divided into three parts.

Part 1 focuses on fundamental laboratory studies of concrete durability. This section addresses topics such as freeze-thaw resistance, the durability of high strength concrete, corrosion of reinforcing steel, air voids in concrete, and the effects of high range water-reducers.

Part 2 covers field studies where concrete is exposed to natural conditions. The papers in this section discuss carbonation of concrete, deicer scaling resistance of roller compacted concrete pavements, performance in marine environments, and microbiologically-induced deterioration.

Part 3 presents case histories of the performance and rehabilitation of concrete structures in severe service environments. These case studies include cooling tower shells, precast prestressed concrete conveyor bridges, heavy-duty docks, elevated roadways, and masonry structures under corrosive exposure.

The topics covered in this symposium provide valuable insights into concrete durability and the challenges faced in real-world applications. The collection of papers is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and professionals involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of concrete structures.
