Drawing on author Peter Pullar-Strecker's 15 year of hands-on experience with all kinds of structures worldwide, the guide explains basic mechanisms and techniques in a straightforward manner. It includes enough practical details to enable non-specialist investigators to carry out at least some initial investigation themselves and considers the problems of detailed investigations in a way which even the most experienced consultants and their clients will find helpful. The guide compares the different repair methods which have become established during recent years and discusses their advantages and drawbacks. Brief descriptions of the methods themselves enable clients and their advisors to understand what is involved in specifying and comissioning repairs from specialist firms, and the author uses his knowledge of the new European Concrete Repair Standard to direct readers to relevant areas for authoritative guidance.
