Synopsis

Concrete is the most widely used modern building material, yet despite this there are still many problems in ascertaining concrete durability, performance, repair and maintenance. In particular, considerable sums are being spent on the repair and maintenance of concrete structures and elements, and central to this is a requirement for accurate and diagnostic testing of concrete and cementitious materials. The new edition of this successful book is a careful revision which takes into account the trends and developments in concrete testing assessment, repair and maintenance that have occurred since publication of the first edition. New sections provide a more thorough treatment of partially destructive test methods, and provide a full description of tests which are aimed at assessing the integrity, durability and performance of concrete structures.
