Description
Concrete structures constitute a great value in today's society. The form a great part of the infrastructure, underpinning the social, industrial and economic well-being of the community. However, concrete structures are deteriorating due to aggressive actions such as corrosion, frost, abrasion chemical action etc. Decisions are required on whether to repair, upgrade, or demolish and rebuild. The process of making these decisions is very complex, involving many assessments considerations and comparisons, both from the technical and non-technical point of view. The process is further complicated by budget constraints and the uncertainty in predicting future developments in society, it need, economic growth, scientific and technical progress, climate changes, etc. The majority of concrete structures have design service lives which extend over generations. It is important therefore that these structures be managed in an effective way.
