Written by an author with over 45 years’ experience in research and practice, Appraisal and Repair of Existing Concrete Structures contains essential knowledge required by practising civil and structural engineers as well as students studying structural appraisal.
Appraisal and Repair of Existing Concrete Structures is a practical guide for civil and structural engineers involved in the preservation, renovation and repair of concrete buildings and structures. Comprehensive in scope, the book contains detailed guidance on all stages of appraisal, including common issues that arise, and how to address gaps within current codes of practice.
Coverage includes:
a brief review of relevant codes of practice and safety factors for the design and construction of concrete structures
changes in construction practice and technology
stages of appraisal
visual inspection
how to develop
testing plans for assessment of structural adequacy and durability assessment testing for in situ compressive strength
full structural investigation for repair, strengthening and replacement
durability assessment
load testing
assessment of fire-damaged concrete structures
repair methods for different types of concrete damage and defects
