Practical Building Conservation: Concrete
A great deal of research and literature has been produced on repairing concrete structures but very little aimed at conserving the character or appearance of historic examples. Practical Building Conservation: Concrete offers guidance as to how that should be done.
It includes a brief history of the use of the material and explains the criteria for listing before assessing decay mechanisms and determining appropriate repair strategies.
A bibliography and case studies are also included.
