Testing of Concrete in Structures: Fourth Edition

by John H. Bungey, Michael G. Grantham

Overview

This classic reference has been thoroughly updated and is ideal for the non-specialist civil engineer involved in the assessment, repair or maintenance of concrete structures. Topics have been expanded to reflect significant advances in the field, including integrity assessment, sub-surface radar, corrosion assessment and localized dynamic response tests. It also covers new trends in equipment and procedures, such as in automated test methods and developments in digital technology and emphasizes performance monitoring, and includes new and updated references to standards.
