Opening with an exploration of the overarching philosophy of repair, this volume focuses on the historical use and development of concrete. It describes in detail the various types of deterioration processes to which concrete is prone and explains how to survey and assess deterioration, how to maintain routinely concrete structures, how to clean them, and make patch repairs. Case studies are used to illustrate materials and treatments in use and to provide criteria for selection. The book also includes a glossary of terms and technical bibliography.
