Durability of repaired concrete structures

Abstract: : The main structural/material requirements for the design of durable repairs to concrete structures are reviewed. A strategy for durability assessment of repaired concrete structures is also outlined, including examples of various instrumentation and data analysis techniques that are found particularly useful for field research. Three selected case studies are presented, each featuring some of the key methods used to assess the in-service performance and durability of repaired concrete structures, along with the main findings obtained in these field studies. The chapter concludes by providing recommendations to achieve durable repaired concrete structures.
