Concrete Maintenance

Picture for Concrete Maintenance
Available for download

Concrete is one of the most durable construction materials available, but all too frequently we ignore its maintenance. Many of the techniques called "coating", "protection", and corrosion mitigation are, maintenance of concrete. The life span of concrete structures can be significantly extended by pro-actively addressing deterioration and durability issues through keeping water and other deleterious materials out of concrete after it has properly cured

Many of the techniques called "coating", "protection", and corrosion mitigation are, maintenance of concrete. The life span of concrete structures can be significantly extended by pro-actively addressing deterioration and durability issues through keeping water and other deleterious materials out of concrete after it has properly cured. The true sustainability of concrete structures can be realized by considering the energy consumed during its manufacture, its inherent properties in-use, and its long service life.

(Concrete) Relevant Testing When Coating Concrete Tanks and Structure

Product Number: 37-COAT_DEC21
Author: John Sierzega
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Inspection has always been a hot topic when it comes to coatings projects. There are some substrates that can be harder to specify due to not knowing without knowing which testing is relevant to specify and properly inspect the substrate and surface after it is coated. Concrete is probably the number one substrate that is confusing. This paper will dive into the testing that is relevant when specifying coatings for concrete tanks and structures. Whether it is how to properly check film build or whether or not an ASTM test is relevant, this paper will clear the waters and make specifying coatings for concrete tanks and structures easier.

Concrete Repair: The Ultimate Sustainability

Product Number: 41211-611-SG
Author: Fred Goodwin
Publication Date: 2011

Concrete repair is a neglected primary example of sustainable construction and green building practices. Sustainability in construction is a topic of increasing importance. Concrete has high embodied energy and much documentation exists about the sustainable nature of concrete in new construction. Concrete maintenance, protection, and repair are the ultimate acts of sustainability in construction because they preserve this embodied energy. Rating systems should be adopted to better capture the sustainable nature of concrete preservation
