This book provides a series of designs, materials, characterizations and models that will help create safer and stronger structures in coastal areas.
The authors take a look at the different materials (porous, heterogeneous, concrete, etc.), the moisture transfers in construction materials as well as the degradation caused by external attacks and put forward systems to monitor the structures or to evaluate the performance reliability as well as degradation scenarios of coastal protection systems.
