A solid solution to crumbling infrastructure

摘要

As our infrastructure ages, concrete deterioration has become one of the most costly andwidespread problems. Why? According to Dr. Karen Scrivener, Head of the ConstructionLaboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute for Technology, corrosion attack on rebar is “thecause of over 90% of problems of concrete durability”.*And concrete structures that are exposedto de-icing salt, seawater or marineatmospheres are particularly susceptible toaccelerated deterioration.
