Corrosion of Steel in Concrete

Prevention, Diagnosis, Repair

By: Luca Bertolini,Bernhard Elsener,Pietro Pedeferri,Elena Redaelli,Rob B. Polder

Steel-reinforced concrete is used ubiquitously as a building material due to its unique combination of the high compressive strength of concrete and the high tensile strength of steel. Therefore, reinforced concrete is an ideal composite material that is used for a wide range of applications in structural engineering such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, harbor quays, foundations, tanks and pipes. To ensure durability of these structures, however, measures must be taken to prevent, diagnose and, if necessary, repair damage to the material especially due to corrosion of the steel reinforcement. The book examines the different aspects of corrosion of steel in concrete, starting from basic and essential mechanisms of the phenomenon, moving up to practical consequences for designers, contractors and owners both for new and existing reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. It covers general aspects of corrosion and protection of reinforcement, forms of attack in the presence of carbonation and chlorides, problems of hydrogen embrittlement as well as techniques of diagnosis, monitoring and repair. This second edition updates the contents with recent findings on the different topics considered and bibliographic references, with particular attention to recent European standards. This book is a self-contained treatment for civil and construction engineers, material scientists, advanced students and architects concerned with the design and maintenance of reinforced concrete structures. Readers will benefit from the knowledge, tools, and methods needed to understand corrosion in reinforced concrete and how to prevent it or keep it within acceptable limits.

Noble Gas Detectors

By: Elena Aprile,Aleksey E. Bolotnikov,Alexander I. Bolozdynya,Tadayoshi Doke

This book discusses the physical properties of noble fluids, operational principles of detectors based on these media, and the best technical solutions to the design of these detectors. Essential attention is given to detector technology: purification methods and monitoring of purity, information readout methods, electronics, detection of hard ultra-violet light emission, selection of materials, cryogenics etc. The book is mostly addressed to physicists and graduate students involved in the preparation of fundamental next generation experiments, nuclear engineers developing instrumentation for national nuclear security and for monitoring nuclear materials.

Re-Thinking the Relationship between International Trade and Environmental Law

By: Elena Cima

From Exception to Promotion: Re-Thinking the Relationship between International Trade and Environmental Law tells a new, unconventional story of the nexus between international trade and environmental law - a story in which the keyword is synergy rather than conflict, and where the trade regime was always meant for something greater than simply trade liberalization. This ‘something greater’ was peace in the first half of the 20th century. Today, it is sustainable development, environmental protection, and social inclusion. Environmental protection is therefore neither antithetical to the overarching purpose of the trading system nor simply a ‘non-trade’ issue to be incorporated within the trade regime, but rather part of its very nature and purpose. By telling this ‘untold’ story of the nexus, this book intends to raise historical awareness and open a constructive discussion on the future of the trade regime and of international economic law governance at large.

Paradise Garden

By: Elena Fischer

Billie ha quattordici anni e vive con la madre in un caseggiato di periferia, una piccola città colorata di cinque stabili disposti a semicerchio. Ogni mattina Marika, sua madre, esce dall’edificio dipinto di giallo e va a fare le pulizie in un grande cubo di vetro, pieno di gente in completi costosi che la guarda come si guarda un carrello o una pianta. Il loro appartamento è in cima al palazzo, al piano che dà sull’autostrada vicina. È così piccolo che d’estate Marika piazza due sedie sul ballatoio per prendere il fresco. Difficile vivere in un posto simile, vero? Sì, ma in quel caseggiato Billie è la ragazza più felice del mondo. Chi ha, infatti, una madre che la sera lavora come cameriera in un bar del centro indossando una maglietta tempestata di paillettes, jeans attillatissimi e stivali da cowboy? Una madre con cui poter sguazzare a piedi nudi nelle pozzanghere quando piove e tuffarsi da una piattaforma di dieci metri? Una madre, infine, con cui condividere sogni e speranze? Chi ha poi amici come Ahmed, il vicino che profuma di sapone e di tabacco da narghilè e ha le ciglia più lunghe di tutti nel caseggiato? O come Luna, che lavora al solarium, possiede infradito di tutti i colori dell’universo e sogna di sposare un uomo che le paghi i debiti? Basta accogliere con gioia quello che si ha: ecco quello che ha imparato Billie nella piccola città colorata di periferia. Un giorno, però, arriva dall’Ungheria la nonna, e la vita povera ma gioiosa di madre e figlia diventa un ricordo del passato. Dolore e lutto irrompono nell’esistenza di Billie. E ciò che prima non era contemplato, il sentimento della mancanza, affiora per la prima volta con ferocia. Billie decide che è giunto il momento di fare i conti con la figura assente da sempre nella sua vita: il padre mai conosciuto. Con una parrucca azzurra in testa, una fotografia in mano e gli stivali da cowboy di sua madre, parte alla sua ricerca. “Quattordici anni è un’età schifosa... Il dolore va e viene come il flusso e il riflusso delle maree, ma non scompare mai.” Una madre single, una figlia adolescente, la loro vita fatta di piccole cose e di uno struggente amore reciproco nutrito da un sogno: partire in vacanza insieme verso il mare. “Paradise Garden è uno dei migliori romanzi dell’anno. Elena Fischer racconta la storia della quattordicenne Billie, che sembra non avere più radici in questo mondo, in un modo incredibilmente bello e struggente.” Die Zeit “Questo romanzo è un piccolo miracolo, una grande sorpresa.” Claudio Armbruster, ZDF heute journal “Un dramma familiare tanto commovente quanto irresistibile.” Katharina Teutsch, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung “Una voce che si lascia seguire come per incanto per le sue acute osservazioni e il grande talento narrativo.” Maja Hattesen, SWR Kultur
