Microbially induced corrosion of concrete (MICC) is a lesser-known cause of deterioration. A better understanding of MICC and the complex ecosystem of bacteria that drive it should permit engineers to improve practices for designing new systems and rehabilitating existing structures. Members of ACI Committee 201, Durability of Concrete, created this article as part of the committee’s efforts to broaden the knowledge on this issue.

Only three sections in Chapter 18—Earthquake-Resistant Structures of ACI 318-19 remain unchanged in comparison to ACI 318-14. This is the second of two articles that outline these changes and is focused on special structural walls, diaphragms and trusses, foundations, and members not designated as part of the seismic force-resisting system.

Concrete cracking presents a significant obstacle to achieving a liquid-tight environmental engineering concrete structure. The minimum shrinkage and temperature (S&T) reinforcement requirements cited in ACI 350-20 should prove to be beneficial with respect to limiting crack widths and reducing the likelihood of leakage. However, in some instances, simply increasing the amount of S&T reinforcement alone may not be enough.

Cracking in the repair material is one of the most serious causes of premature deterioration and failure of concrete repairs. The article focuses on specific aspects of cracking in concrete repairs comprising hydraulic cements and discusses development of an environmentally friendly, cement-based repair material with reduced brittleness and improved resistance to cracking.
