Provides a review of concrete deterioration and damage - discusses condition assessment and repair techniques, standards and guidelines Understanding and recognising failure mechanisms in concrete is a fundamental pre-requisite to determining the type of repair, or whether a repair is feasible. This title provides a review of concrete deterioration and damage, as well as looking at the problem of defects in concrete. It also discusses condition assessment and repair techniques. Part one discusses failure mechanisms in concrete and covers topics such as causes and mechanisms of deterioration in reinforced concrete, types of damage in concrete structures, types and causes of cracking and condition assessment of concrete structures. Part two reviews the repair of concretestructures with coverage of themes such as standards and guidelines for repairing concrete structures, methods of crack repair, repair materials, bonded concrete overlays, repairing and retrofitting concrete structures with fiber-reinforced polymers, patching deteriorated concrete structures and durability of repaired concrete. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Failure and repair of concrete structures is a standard reference for civil engineers, architects and anyone working in the construction sect INDICE: PART 1 FAILURE MECHANISMS IN CONCRETE Causes and mechanisms of deterioration in reinforced concrete V Penttala, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland - Introduction - Microstructure and role of moisture in concrete deterioration - Physically induced deterioration - Chemically induced deterioration - Summary - References and further reading Types of damage in concrete structures K Kovler, National Building Research Institute and V Chernov, Ashdod Port Company Ltd., Israel - Introduction - Types of concrete damage - Causes and mechanisms of concrete damage - Chemical attack - Fire - Static overloading - Impact - Earthquakes - Malicious damage - Case studies - Conclusions - References Types and causes of cracking in concrete structures C J Larosche, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc., USA - Introduction - Cracking in a plastic state - Cracking after hardening - Assessment of distressed concrete - References Condition assessment of concrete structures U Dilek, MACTEC Engineering andConsulting Inc., USA - Introduction - Evaluation of concrete structures - overview - Methodologies to evaluate concrete structures - Stages of condition assessment - Evaluation techniques and test methodologies - Laboratory testing on cores - Load testing of structures - Sources of further information and advice - Acknowledgement - References PART 2 REPAIR OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES Standards and guidelines for repairing concrete structures M Raupach, Institute of Building Materials Research of Aachen University and L Wolff, Ingenieurbüro Raupach Bruns Wolff GmbH & Co.
