DURABILITY OF MARINE CONCRETE STRUCTURES UNDER ARCTIC CONDITIONS
This paper discusses a comprehensive investigation which was carried out with the purpose of evaluating the durability of concrete structures located along the Norwegian seaboard. Under the combined effect of marine and arctic conditions, these structures are exposed to a number of serious deteriorating processes which subsequently require costly repairs and protective maintenance. The observations indicate that chemical deterioration of concrete in seawater may also represent a problem under arctic conditions, particularly in connection with underwater placement of concrete. By proper use of air-entraining agents, action of freezing and thawing should cause minor trouble, while corrosion of reinforcing steel does represent the most extensive and serious problem.
