Description
Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Durability of Building Materials and Components, Volume I contains the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Durability of Building Materials and Components held in Singapore on November 4-6, 1987. The conference provided a forum for reviewing advances that have been made with regards to the durability of building materials and components and tackled topics ranging from concrete materials and structures to fiber-reinforced concrete, plastics, surface coatings, and building codes and specifications. Comprised of 67 chapters, this volume first summarizes the technical barriers to service life prediction and outlines research directions for overcoming such barriers. The discussion then turns to the deterioration of slate tiles containing iron sulfides; prediction of durability of building sealants; and the durability of building ceramics in agricultural environments. Subsequent chapters focus on the influence of seawater curing on the pore structure of flyash blended cement mortar; effect of cement composition on the durability of natural fibers in mortar; permeability control of concrete protective layers in products; and theory and experimental evidence concerning maximum and minimum strength of composite materials. The applications of surface integral techniques to fracture analysis are also considered. This book will be of interest to practitioners and research workers in engineering.
