The purpose of the book is to gain fundamental and practical understanding on concrete repair and rehabilitation of the structures. Large number of reinforced concrete (RC) structure are deteriorating, often prematurely, and need remedial measures to reinstate their safety and/or serviceability. Consequently, the need for repair and protection has grown considerably in recent years. While costs associated with repair of deteriorating concrete structures can be substantial, costs resulting from poorly designed or executed repairs may be even higher. Repair methods need to be designed with consideration for the anticipated or desired remaining service life of the structure. A distinction must be made between repairs intended to stop deterioration fully and those merely aimed at slowing down deterioration processes for a limited period of time. During the research for our project relevant repair methods for damaged concrete structures will be discussed, focussing on design methods.
