Wear-Resisting Concrete

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Smart and Multifunctional Concrete Toward Sustainable Infrastructures

Abstract

Wear resistance of concrete refers to its capability of resisting the actions of abrasion, erosion, or cavitation. Wear-resisting concrete can be achieved by incorporating (mineral) admixture, latex, microfiber or nanomaterials into conventional concrete. The incorporated materials can improve the microstructure of concrete, restrict the form of cracks and the development of microcracks, and increase the toughness of concrete. Owing to the high durability and long-term economic value, the wear-resisting concrete possesses great application potential in pavement, highway, airport runaway, hydraulic dams, and subsea tunnel to increase the security, usage rate, and durability of these infrastructures.
