Publisher's Synopsis
This Guide to Good Practice focuses on the techniques for the repair and strengthening of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures - covering the planning, design, implementation and monitoring of repair and strengthening projects. The book systematically details the various objectives involved, from attempting to ascertain the present state of a structure and establishing the repair and/or strenthening programme required, to determining the required target condition of the structure. Site supervision, quality control, re-checks and inspection controls are also considered. Owners, architects and engineers will find this guide an invaluable reference source which will help them to achieve a balance between the many aspects - economic, historical and technical - of a repair and strengthening project.
