Deterioration and premature failure of concrete structures is a major problem. The new European Standards provide, for the first time, a comprehensive set of standards covering all aspects of protection and repair of concrete. They will affect everyone involved in the repair industry, providing an opportunity and, at the same time, a challenge to further improve concrete repair practices and adapt to the standards as they come into use. Written by the UK delegate to the European Standards committee, this book sets out the basic principles of concrete deterioration and repair and provides a practical guidance and a comprehensive introduction to the new Standards. It also explains the interaction between the standards and the European Construction Products Directive. "Protection and Repair of Concrete" is a must-have guide for specifiers, designers and repair practitioners across Europe. It will also be relevant in the Pacific Rim and other areas where standards are widely modelled on the European approach.
