Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: This 139 papers in this collection originally were presented during the Conference on Advances in Concrete & Structures held in Changsha, China, in June 2008. Concrete is one of the major civil engineering materials in modern society. But concrete technology and structures are challenged by environmental erosion and other natural and manmade hazards. The papers address these issues and a variety of others, such as: concrete materials and durability, deterioration assessment and structure behavior, advanced concrete technology and high performance concrete, and new structural systems and innovative design methods. Editors are Huo (Center for Protection Research of Engineering Structures, Hunan U.), Xiao (U. of Southern California, Hunan U.), Li (civil engineering, Hong Kong U. of Science and Technology), and Ahmad (American Concrete Institute).
