A straight forward approach to the repair and rehabilitation of structures, the book discusses the different aspects of repair, causes of repair, strength and durability of concrete, special concrete, techniques for repair and protection method, retrofitting of structures, structural health monitoring (SHM) demolition techniques and seismic retrofitting of structures. In addition, the book includes real world case studies to better illustrate techniques adopted for the rehabilitation throughout the world.

• Presents a framework for evaluating maintenance and repair strategies
• Provides an Introduction to SHM, Smart Materials and SHM versus NDT
• Includes case studies to illustrate practical techniques adopted for the rehabilitation of the existing structure
• Outlines the performance of construction materials and components in actual structure, permeability and thermal properties of concrete
