Description
Description
Coatings for Concrete: Design Principles and Applications provides a timely, comprehensive exploration of the scientific principles, methodologies, and innovations behind the use of coatings, focusing on their pivotal function of enhancing the resilience, efficiency, and longevity of concrete structures and their components. The book addresses the critical need –recognized by both academia and industry – for a systematic resource on the broad range of materials and techniques available. It is accompanied by rigorous analyses of the complex interactions between coatings and concrete surfaces, with an objective of emphasizing design considerations based on specific applications (e.g., strengthening, environmental protection, or structural reinforcement).
Drawing from the latest advancements, the book covers emerging technologies like nanocoatings, self-sensing materials, and fire-retardant solutions while also examining sought-after, real-life use cases to present empirical data and insights that inform best practices, enrich research efforts, and support the development of sophisticated, next-generation products that more effectively fulfill the evolving demands of the construction industry.
