The field of Concrete Repair and Rehabilitation is gaining importance in view of its positive impacts in terms of socio-economic benefits and environmental sustainability. Due to growing importance of this field, many engineering colleges have included the subject of concrete repair and rehabilitation in the senior undergraduate and postgraduate course curriculums of civil engineering. This book is an earnest attempt to help students of civil engineering in enhancing their understanding and awareness about critical elements of repair and rehabilitation of concrete structure. The content is organised in such a way that it fulfils the academic needs of the students. This text attempts to dovetail all important aspects such as causes of distress, assessment and evaluation of deterioration, techniques for repair and rehabilitation along with selection of repair and rehabilitation materials and other important aspects related to preventive maintenance and rehabilitation/structural safety measures. The primary objective of this textbook is to guide students to: • Understand the underlying causes and types of deterioration in concrete structure • Learn about the field and laboratory testing methods available to evaluate the level of deterioration. • Get well acquainted with options of repair materials and techniques available to address different types of distress in concrete structure. • Grasp the knowledge of available techniques and their application for strengthening existing structural systems.

This book will be of interest to everyone involved in the repair, maintenance and refurbishment of traditional buildings. Its purpose is to promote the successful structural repair of masonry, timber and unfired earth. The book begins by explaining how traditional structures work and how they are affected by the behaviour of the soil that supports them. It goes on to explain how the structural design of buildings has to cope with uncertainty. Techniques for doing so are well established for new buildings, but the viewpoint changes when existing buildings need to be repaired or refurbished. The most common sources of structural damage are listed. The more serious and progressive ones are described in detail, as an aid to diagnosis and prognosis. An understanding of prognosis enables repairers to decide whether urgent intervention is necessary or whether the problem can be allowed to run its course. A straightforward method is proposed for arriving at the most suitable remedy. Several typical repairs are illustrated. The book covers many allied topics, including the principles of conservation, health and safety and preventative maintenance. A chapter is devoted to the special needs of insured perils.

Existing and revised methods used for pressure grouting cracked concrete and masonry were studied. Hand gun and pressure tank grout injecting equipment were studied as well as epoxy resin grouts. Job site visitations, laboratory, and controlled field tests were used as mechanisms to perform the evaluations. As a result of studying existing grouting techniques, materials and methods were selected for use in the laboratory and field. The best characterisitcs of several grouting methods were combined to develop a new technique. Grouting materials were selected on the basis of viscosity and bonding capabilities. Three systems were used for study. Field studies led to personal evaluation of equipment and techniques as well as to physical evaluation of depth of penetration and effectiveness of repair. Laboratory studies led to curves providing an estimate of flow rate of a grout within a given crack width as a function of grout viscosity. A Guide for Pressure Grouting Cracked Concrete and Masonry Structures with Epoxy Resins was prepared. (Author-PL).
