Introduction

Deterioration of reinforced concrete structures has been one of the major challenges facing civil engineers over the past 20 years. Concrete structures were famous for being maintenance free. Over time, however, it was found that nothing is free and that it was necessary to increase spending if one did not know how to deal with the deterioration of concrete structures. The major factor causing concrete deterioration is corrosion of steel reinforcements, so it is very important to understand this issue thoroughly.
This book aims to be a handbook for reinforced concrete structure maintenance to be used as a guide for junior and senior engineers’ work in design, construction, repair, and maintenance. Moreover, the book has been written so as to be easy for civil engineers to understand—without any complicated chemical reactions—and to help researchers with its very strong theoretical background.

The book consists of three main approaches. In the first, chapters 1–3 describe the corrosion phenomena of steel in concrete, the effect of concrete properties on the corrosion, and the precautions taken in construction to control corrosion. The second approach concerns the evaluation of concrete structures and different methods to protect steel reinforcement from corrosion. The last two chapters describe the most traditional and advanced repair techniques. Moreover, chapter 9 focuses on an advanced maintenance plan philosophy as risk-based maintenance for reinforced concrete structures.
This book provides a practical guide to the art of concrete structure repair and maintenance. It includes case histories from all over the world to assist the reader in appreciating the widespread applications and ranges of advanced repair techniques.
