Durability of Cement Drain Tile and Concrete in Alkali Soils (Classic Reprint)

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents findings from a significant investigation into the effects of alkali soils and waters on the integrity of concrete and cement, conducted over several years. The study is grounded in earlier laboratory research that demonstrated the corrosive effects of alkali on cement and concrete, prompting the author to undertake a thorough field investigation to provide real-world data. The book details the methods used to create various types of cement drain tiles and concrete blocks and the sites chosen for their installation, including locations with concentrated alkali soils and fresh water for comparison. The results of inspections and testing are presented, revealing variations in the condition of the tiles and blocks depending on the consistency of the mixture, method of manufacture, and the alkali content of the soil and water to which they were exposed. The author discusses the significance of these findings, emphasizing that durability of cement and concrete in alkali environments is dependent on factors such as richness of the mix, consistency, and permeability. The presence of reinforcing rods in concrete blocks was also found to influence the rate of disintegration due to corrosion and cracking. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the behavior of concrete and cement in alkali soils and waters, offering practical guidance for engineers and construction professionals working in areas where such conditions are prevalent. The research presented contributes to our understanding of the mechanisms of alkali attack on concrete, aiding in the development of more durable and resistant materials for infrastructure projects.
