Repair and Rehabilitation: A Compilation from The Indian Concrete Journal

This compilation includes 44 repair and rehabilitation technical papers published in The Indian Concrete Journal (ICJ) during the past decade. The papers are divided into three categories:

General Topics in Repair and Rehabilitation; Materials, Techniques, and Specifications; and Case Studies

Most of the case studies by Indian engineers pertain to repair works carried out in India; nearly a third of the papers were contributed by experts from the western hemisphere. This international exchange of repair and rehabilitation information includes methods for minimizing cracking; surface preparation for patching, sealing, and coating concrete; repair of environmental concrete structures; and strengthening chemically deteriorated concrete structures. The information is useful to owners, engineers, architects, contractors, and materials manufacturers.
