Content Description

Increasing Concrete Durability and Sustainability with Crystalline Waterproofing, 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: XY-EN-143803-0623

Although known for being a strong and versatile building material, there are a number of factors that affect the sustainability of concrete, and a variety of measures that can be taken to increase its durability and extend its service life, thus protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the users. This course discusses the environmental impact of concrete and some of the main causes of concrete deterioration, and examines how crystalline waterproofing technology can be employed to increase the durability and sustainability of concrete.

Learning Objectives

  • Outline the issues of concern, namely CO2 emissions and durability, surrounding the sustainability of concrete over its life cycle.
  • Discuss how reinforcing steel corrosion, freeze-thaw cycles, chemicals, alkali-aggregate reactivity, and abrasion result in concrete deterioration, significantly impacting a structure's integrity and safety.
  • Summarize how modifying concrete mix designs and using admixtures, less permeable concrete, and surface coatings can increase the durability, life span, and sustainability of concrete.
  • Explain how crystalline waterproofing technology improves concrete durability, extending the service life of the structure and contributing to a sustainable built environment.
