Repair, Protection and Waterproofing of Concrete Structures embraces reinforced concrete buildings, water-retaining and water-excluding structures, marine structures and bridges. The nine chapters also cover deterioration and renovation of concrete floors and repair and waterproofing of concrete roofs. The deterioration of concrete liquid retaining structures, including sewers, caused by chemical attack is alos discussed and suggestions made for remedial work. The author discusses the newer methods of cathodic protection, realkalisation and desalination to inhibit corrosion of reinforcement in existing structures. Each chapter concludes with an extensive bibliography.
