1 INTRODUCTION

The problem of repairing historic reinforced concrete monuments is currently very common and urgent. Many concrete monuments which were erected in the 1930s-1960s are now threatened by deterioration (Figs. 1, 2). Most of them are in drastically poor condition and demand proper conservation (Domasłowski et al. 2000; Gralińska 2008).
