The mechanisms by which buildings and infrastructures degrade are
complex, as are the procedures and methods for inspection and for
rehabilitation. This book examines the various problems caused by
non-uniform deformation changes, poor durability, and natural and
human disasters such as earthquakes and fire. Attention is given to
the causes and mechanisms of the deterioration. General procedures
and commonly used techniques for inspection and evaluation of
existing infrastructures are introduced. The desk study,
destructive test, and non-destructive test are discussed - in
particular the newly developed non-destructive methods for
deterioration monitoring. The book then moves on to conventional
renovation techniques such as patch and steel plate strengthening,
which meet the requirements of normal practice. Special attention
is paid to compatibility between repair materials and degraded
materials. Fibrous composite materials are then introduced as a
basis for innovative repair techniques, and different fibre and
matrix properties are outlined, as are newly developed inorganic
binders as a matrix for fibrous composites. Finally, advanced
rehabilitation techniques using fibrous composite are described.
Fundamental issues such as bonding and failure mechanisms are then
discussed in detail. Fibrous composite strengthening techniques for
beam, wall, column and slabs are covered, including shear
strengthening, flexural strengthening, and fillet winding, as are
codes of practice for retrofitting with fibrous composites. This
caters to students and academics world-wide and serves as a "tool
book" for concrete and structural engineering professionals.
