CVL871 - Durability and Repair of Concrete Structures: Shashank Bishnoi

This document is the introduction lecture for a course on durability and repair of concrete structures. It introduces the course instructor and their contact information. It outlines the course policies on grading and attendance. The course will cover topics related to durability of concrete including cement microstructure, cracking, corrosion of steel reinforcement, aggregates, freeze-thaw damage, sulfate attack, fire damage, quality control and non-destructive testing methods. Examples of concrete deterioration are shown to illustrate common durability issues like seepage, corrosion, spalling, cracking and collapse.

Why durability?
 In developed countries, more than half
of infrastructure funds spent on repairs
 India is witnessing rapid infrastructure
development
 Repair and maintenance will make
majority of expense in the future

Durability of concrete structures
 Concrete is generally a durable material
 Interaction with environment can reduce
its life
 Reinforcing steel is the cause of many
problems
 Structures are often not designed
keeping durability in mind
 Bad construction practices can often
reduce the life of the structure

14
S. Bishnoi, IIT Delhi
Origin of durability concerns
 In developed countries more than half of
the investment into infrastructure goes
into repair and rehabilitation
 Durability also implies sustainability
 It has become important to predict
maintenance costs
 Bigger challenges today
 Durability based design is gaining
importance
