    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes specific types of concrete deterioration. Contains a discussion of the mechanisms involved and the recommended requirements for individual components of concrete, quality considerations for concrete mixtures, construction procedures, and influences of the exposure environment, all important considerations to ensure concrete durability. Some guidance as to repair techniques is also provided.
