Course Objective

Deleterious physical and chemical effects on reinforced concrete structures such as wear, fire, freezing-thawing, wetting-drying, sulfate attack, alkali aggregate reaction and corrosion of the embedded steel in concrete will be discussed within the scope of this lecture. The significance, mechanisms, and control of various causes of concrete and reinforcing steel deterioration are discussed in detail. The materials that commonly used for the repair of deteriorated structures will be presented.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   to categorize the fundamentals of cement and concrete terminology
2   to analyze possible mechanisms of durability problems.
3   to list the preacutions to be taken against corrosion of reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures.
4   to choose the most suitable material for repair of deteriorated concrete structures from technical and economical prespective.
5   to classify the possible precautions to increase the durability of concrete/reinforced concrete structures according to the level of external influence.
