Durability and Service Life Prediction of Reinforced Concrete Frames Subjected to Chloride Corrosion and Mechanical Loading -- Durability and Service Life of Reinforced Concrete Structures Present in Marine Environment -- Salt Attack, Durability and Service Life of Concrete Structures -- Guidelines for Inspection and Receipt of Rein-forced Concrete Structures in Newly Constructed Buildings -- Application of the Degradation Measurement Method in the Study of Facade Service Life -- The Influence of Mass Tourism and Hygroscopic Inertia in Relative Humidity Fluctuations of Museums Located in Historical Buildings -- Residual safety in one-way slabs with severe corrosion.

This book provides a collection of recent research works, helping contribute to the systematization and dissemination of the latest findings on building pathologies (structural and hygrothermal), salt attack and corrosion, durability and service-life prediction. It reflects a number of recent advances concerning the above-mentioned topics, particularly in concrete structures. Intended as an overview of the current state of knowledge, the book will benefit scientists, students, practitioners, lecturers and other interested parties. At the same time, the topics covered are relevant to a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines, including civil, materials and mechanical engineering.
