Revised and updated, this second edition of Cathodic Protection of Steel in Concrete and Masonry covers both reinforced concrete and masonry structures, describes in detail the overall design factors involved in cathodic protection (CP), and also provides a theoretical basis for why it works. It refers to the new European standard EN 12696 for cathodic protection where relevant. What’s new in... Read more

Biography

Paul M. Chess, John P. Broomfield

"This book provides an introduction to the topic that is (with some basic knowledge) easy to understand, and gives a quite detailed view of the complexity of the design process for CP systems for steel in concrete and masonry. The text is supported by many examples from case studies.

The book will be of great value not only to civil engineers and consultants in the field of concrete repair who wish to gain insight into CP and its possibilities, but will also show engineers in other fields of CP application the special aspects of CP of steel in concrete and masonry."
