Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A wealth of recent research into the continued deterioration of reinforced concrete structures has led to a review of methods of investigation and repair techniques. This thoroughly revised and updated new edition brings together the fundamental aspects of this world wide problem and offers advice on how investigations, diagnosis and consequent remedial work should be carried out.
Previous ed.: 1986.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
General observations -- Basic characteristics of concrete and mortar and their constituent and associated materials -- Factors affecting the durability of reinforced concrete -- Investigation and diagnosis of defects in reinforced concrete -- Non-structural repairs to reinforced concrete -- Structural repairs to reinforced concrete -- Coatings (barrier systems) for reinforced concrete -- Repairs to concrete floors and roofs -- Repairs to concrete structures.
