Informazioni su questo ebook

This book integrates several research papers on climate resilient building techniques and materials, particularly in the context of India, and fills a major research gap for the construction of durable and resilient structures that can further endure an aggressive environment for the intended service life. The book will cover major factors that contribute to the premature deterioration of concrete structures in aggressive environments, factors related to the development of cost-effective concrete mix design to enhance the durability of future structures, and recommendations on improvements in construction practice and workmanship which are necessary to improve the service life of structures. It is anticipated that the themes and suggestions presented in this publication will increase the visibility of research being conducted in India on these crucial topics and give the financial industry insights into creating new, climate-resilient materials for enhancing infrastructure serviceability.
