EVERYTHING ON THE CAUSES OF DETERIORATION OF CONCRETE AND ON THE SOLUTIONS TO BE ADOPTED TO SOLVE THEM

problem

problema fibre per calcestruzzo

The concrete combined with iron reinforcement, since it was discovered over 100 years ago, was considered an eternal and versatile material, ideal for the realization of bold works and structures, for buildings of architectural and engineering value, and also for ordinary and modest works. This belief, combined with its ease of production, generated a rapid development of the use of reinforced concrete. It was anyway produced following sometimes inaccurate compositional, production and design rules, which have caused an overall poor and not durable quality of the conglomerates.
This approach, combined with a poor knowledge of a great number of highly degenerative forms of degradation, (in most cases of natural origin) day after day deteriorated the reinforced concrete and impede the duration of many works over time.

It is logical to understand that, in order to create durable reinforced concrete works, strict quality controls must be provided in the concrete production sector to meet the needs of the designer, who must take into account not only the structural characteristics but also of the more or less aggressive environment where the work is exposed. In addition to this, the implementation must be performed precisely: the thickness of the concrete cover, the curing, the structural construction joints, etc. Before proceeding with the recovery of deteriorated concrete, it is necessary to know the possible causes of degradation by an accurate diagnostic analysis, which cannot be carried out only by investigating the surface aspect, but must be studied in depth, as much as possible, in detail.
