Concrete repair as an engineering task: An approximate solution to an exact problem

In addition to condition evaluation problems and solutions, this paper discusses the durability planning measures that should be considered prior to detailed design and specification process in order to eliminate or minimize the need for premature repair of repairs. The role of durability planning in deciding on which remedial and/or protection solutions are more appropriate to meet project objectives durability and economy-wise and perform more satisfactorily is addressed.
