Structure Design and Degradation Mechanisms in Coastal Environments

By Olivier Millet

This book provide a series of designs, materials, characterization and modeling, that will help create safer and stronger structures in coastal areas.

The authors take a look at the different materials (porous, heterogeneous, concrete...), the moisture transfers in construction materials as well as the degradation caused by external attacks and put forth systems to monitor the structures or evaluate the performance reliability as well as degradation scenarios of coastal protection systems.
