"Assessment and Renovation of Concrete Structures" is a reference volume for anyone involved in the concrete industry. It provides coverage of all aspects of deterioration, renovation, repair and protection of concrete structures, including the early detection of concrete decay, through to making decisions on the method most suited to effect the repair. It covers concrete deterioration in a range of environments for a truly global perspective and explains how to use test results to predict the future performance of concrete. It covers main methods of repair such as Shotcrete, resin-injection and patch repair; also includes the most recent repair procedures such as chloride-extraction and re-alkalization. It is aimed at practising civil and structural engineers, architects, building surveyors and other professionals working on maintenance contracts.
