Author Description

<p><i>Eco-efficient Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Infrastructures, Second Edition</i> provides an updated, state-of-the-art review of the latest advances in this important research field. The first section is brought fully up-to-date and focuses on deterioration assessment methods. The second section contains brand new chapters on innovative concrete repair and rehabilitation materials, including fly ash-based alkali-activated repair materials for concrete exposed to aggressive environments, retrofitting of concrete structures with biomaterials, and the assessment of concrete after repair operations and durability of concrete repair.<br> <br>The final section has been revised to include new chapters on climate change’s influence and life cycle assessment (LCA). These chapters include deterioration of concrete infrastructure due to climate change, influence of climate change on bridge deterioration, probabilistic modeling of chloride diffusion in repaired reinforced concrete structures, and LCA of concrete repaired with recycled aggregates.<br> </p>
