At present, durability of concrete is controlled by specifying the materials to be used, the methods of mixing, placing, curing and so on. This approach is often unsatisfactory and it is a common objective of concrete researchers and engineers to develop performance criteria which allow

the potential durability of a particular concrete mix or structure to be estimated. Performance Criteria for Concrete Durability explains key aspects of concrete durability, the relationship between transport mechanisms and concrete durability characteristics. It reviews test methods for measuring permeability in the laboratory and on site, and discusses the many factors which influence the durability of concrete subject to carbonation, chlorides, abrasions etc. This state-of-the-art Report has been prepared by RILEM Technical Committee 116-PCD and is an authoritative, international review of

the subject and is an essential reference source for engineers and technologists.
