Guide to concrete repair and protection

Provides guidelines on inspection techniques, protective and remedial systems and repair practice for concrete in structures. Also provides an overview of causes of concrete deterioration and the types and formation of cracks in concrete. The document is intended for widespread use by anyone engaged in the maintenance, repair and production of concrete structures. This Handbook is intended as an overview of typical methods and practices in the industry. It should not be used as a standard or as part of any contract relating to the repair of concrete. It is intended that this Handbook can be read and understood by a diverse range of persons, from professionals engaged in specifying or carrying out concrete structure repairs to those involved in the management of buildings and structures.
