This lecture covers the mechanisms of corrosion in concrete structures due to chlorides, including diagnosis and repair techniques. It also explores the impact of freeze-thaw cycles on concrete, detailing preventive measures and exposure classes. Additionally, it delves into the alkali granulate reaction (RAG) in concrete, discussing its mechanism, prevention methods, and laboratory tests. The lecture concludes with a study on acid attacks on concrete structures, examining the diagnosis and repair processes.
