Reinforced concrete structures have always been the first choice
for the construction industry world over. This composite material
has proved its robustness and versatility beyond doubts. However,
these structures are subjected to constant deterioration due to
effects of ageing, inadequate maintenance, severe environmental
exposure, penetration of catalystic agencies such as moisture,
gases like CO2 and oxygen, chloride ions, industrial pollutants,
abuse (overused and misused), etc. This deterioration needs to be
timely arrested before it leads to irreversible damage making it
imperative to repair and upgrade (retrofit/strengthening) the
current stock of deteriorated and deficient structures. This book
has been designed with the aim to give the students an insight into
the subject of concrete repair, its protection and strengthening.
It is profusely illustrated with neat diagrams and actual site
photographs. The book broadly deals with: Deterioration of concrete
structures. Visual deterioration of structures. Conditional/damage
assessment & evaluation of structures. Damage assessment allied
tests. Retrofitting/strengthening. Seismic retrofitting of concrete
structures. Protection & maintenance of structures. Long-term
health monitoring. Structural health monitoring. Demolition
techniques. Repair of underwater structures. Various materials and
equipment used in repair work. Guidelines for all the processes
given by governments. This book will be a guide to B.E. (Civil
Engineering), ME (Structural Engineering) students and practising
civil engineers.
