Corrosion-Inhibiting Chemical Admixtures

<p><em>Corrosion-Inhibiting Admixture:</em> <em>From Formulation to Field: Applications Troubleshooting & Case Studies</em> is Volume 11 of the authoritative book series <em>Concrete Chemical Admixtures</em> a comprehensive technical reference designed for engineers materials scientists concrete technologists specifiers and infrastructure professionals involved in the design construction and long-term maintenance of durable reinforced concrete structures. This volume consolidates decades of research field experience and evolving best practices into a unified framework for understanding selecting and implementing corrosion-inhibiting admixtures (CIAs) across diverse service environments.</p><p>Structured into thematic sections the book begins with foundational principles of corrosion electrochemistry and progresses through inhibitor classification mechanisms of action formulation chemistry and compatibility considerations. It details modern approaches to performance evaluation from standardized laboratory testing to advanced microstructural analysis and provides practical guidance on batching placement quality assurance and troubleshooting. Special emphasis is placed on real-world applicability with dedicated chapters on use cases failure investigation regulatory compliance and sustainability.</p><p>Emerging innovations including AI-driven molecular design nanoencapsulation smart-responsive release systems and digital quality assurance are integrated throughout reflecting the convergence of materials science and Industry 4.0 technologies. The text adheres to international standards (ASTM EN ACI ISO) while addressing regional regulatory landscapes ensuring global relevance. With over 700 pages of rigorously referenced content including tables formulation examples adjustment protocols and verification workflows this volume serves as both a practical handbook for field implementation and a scholarly resource for advancing the science of durable concrete within the broader Concrete Chemical Admixtures series.</p>
