Integral Waterproofing of Concrete Structures: Advanced Protection Technologies of Concrete by Pore Blocking and Lining (Woodhead Publishing Series…

Integral Waterproofing of Concrete Structures demonstrates how integral waterproofing technologies can solve concrete durability problems based on performance and characterization experimental results.
This book first establishes a background about concrete structures and porosity linked with concrete hydration, then goes on to consider concrete durability problems from the perspective of water penetration including damages from freeze-thaw cycles, alkali silica reactions, and chloride ion penetration. The mechanisms, applications, performances, and limitations of waterproofing technologies including coatings and integral systems are compared. The book also showcases 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
