THE CIRIA GUIDE TO CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION IN THE GULF REGION

Rapid corrosion of reinforcement is the most common cause of concrete deterioration in the Gulf Region. This guide concentrates on practices which minimise deterioration from this and other causes. The recommendations include ensuring that concrete is substantially free from aggressive salts when it is made, controlling workability, provision of adequate curing, constructing satisfactory joints in reinforced concrete, and avoiding design features which allow contaminants to collect.
