Concrete in aggressive ground
- 3rd ed.
- Garston BRE 2005
- vi, 62p. 30cm.
- BRE Special Digest 1:2005 .
Introduction Chemical attack on concrete Assessing the aggressive chemical environment Specifying concrete for general cast in-situ Specifying surface-carbonated precast concrete for general use in the ground Design guides for specific precast concrete products
Provides practical guidance on the specification of concrete for installation in natural ground and in brownfield locations. The procedures given for ground assessment and concrete specification cover the fairly common occurrence of sulfates, sulfides and acids and also the more rarely occurring aggressive carbon dioxide found in some ground and surface waters. This new edition contains: a new ranking of cements with respect to sulfate resistance; the removal of the aggregate carbonate range; a revision of sulfate class limits, and simpler requirements for additional protective measures.
