Concrete Repair and Maintenance Illustrated

1993, 295 pp.

$100.00


Published by: R.S. Means


This book presents a detailed, yet concise presentation of over 220 concrete repair and maintenance topics. Issues are examined within the framework of analysis, strategy development, and repair techniques, with detailed illustrations to guide you in the proper planning and execution of repairs.

It provides extensive information about problem analysis, strategy development, engineering aspects, material criteria, and repair of maintenance methods designed for ease of use by all participants in the repair or maintenance process-owners and facility managers, concrete specialists and general contractors, civil and structural engineers, material suppliers, and architects. This book's unique format provides a highly structured, fully illustrated examiniation of each topic.
