Repair protection and waterproofing of concrete structures third edition

by P. Perkins (Author)

Since the publication of the Second Edition of this book in 1986, the need to carry out extensive repairs to reinforced concrete structures has continued.

Most of these structures were originally expected to have a life span of 80– 100 years and this premature deterioration has caused serious concern.

In this country considerable publicity has been given in the technical press to major repair work on road bridge structures, particularly on major trunk roads and motorways.

Repair protection and waterproofing of concrete structures third edition is intended to deal mainly with ‘non-structural’ repairs, that is, repairs.

These are intended to restore as far as practicable, long-term durability and ‘useful life’ of the structure or part of the structure.

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.

Repair protection and waterproofing of concrete structures third edition brings together the fundamental aspects of this world wide problem.

It offers advice on how investigations, diagnosis and consequent remedial work should be carried out.
