Today's buildings must withstand far more than everyday wear and tear from accidental impacts and explosions to extreme weather, chemical exposure, and seismic events. As the demands on structures grow, so does the need for reliable, science-based guidance on designing concrete that can endure these challenges.This book brings together real-world insights from experts working at the forefront of concrete performance in extreme conditions. It highlights what happens when materials are pushed beyond conventional expectations and offers practical knowledge for designers, engineers, and construction professionals who must ensure long-term safety and durability.Key points:Includes accounts of concrete in severe environments, showing how it behaves under rare and extreme conditions.Provides clear explanations of why material failures occur.Gives expert guidance on designing and monitoring concrete structures exposed to fatigue, corrosion, de-icing salts, buried environments, geothermal conditions, and biogenic reactions.Plenty of case studies from nuclear waste storage to large dams, offering lessons that can be applied across a wide range of projects.By combining scientific understanding with professional experience, this book provides a practical resource for anyone involved in creating concrete structures that must stand up to the unexpected.…
