Marine Concrete Structures: Design, Durability and Performance

comprehensively examines structures located in, under, or in close proximity to the sea. A major emphasis of the book is on the long-term performance of marine concrete structures that not only represent major infrastructure investment and provision, but are also required to operate with minimal maintenance.

Chapters review the design, specification, construction, and operation of marine concrete structures, and examine their performance and durability in the marine environment. A number of case studies of significant marine concrete structures from around the world are included which help to reinforce the principles outlined in earlier chapters and provide useful background to these types of structures. The result is a thorough and up-to-date reference source that engineers, researchers, and postgraduate students in this field will find invaluable.

Covers, in detail, the design, specification, construction, and operation of marine concrete structures
Examines the properties and performance of concrete in the marine environment
Provides case studies on significant marine concrete structures and durability-based design from around the world

Industry Reviews

"This book will be a useful volume for practitioners undertaking the design, construction and maintenance of marine concrete structures as it provides a concise logical analysis of the challenges faced, together with solutions that can be employed in ensuring the durability of marine concrete structures. The book comprises three parts, providing a seamless transition from design and specifications, to performance and properties of concrete, to practical case studies on marine concrete and durable marine concrete design. It covers the fundamental requirements and theory, material and concrete requirements, and practical methods required to effect durable concrete marine structures. The book provides an excellent collation of thought-provoking facts and insights into the durability of marine concrete structures. It adds significantly to one's overall understanding of marine concrete durability, the potential pitfalls and solutions that can be employed to ensure the durability of marine concrete structures. It further provides useful and germane cross references which can assist in deepening one's understanding in particular areas. This book will be an indispensable reference book for clients, engineers, designers, contractors and concrete technologists involved in designing and constructing any type of marine concrete structure." --Dr H K J Macdonald, C.
