Overview

This authoritative book focuses on service life estimation of reinforced concrete civil engineering structures and those which have undergone rehabilitation using FRP. It allows estimates to be made about when a structure will need to be examined and/or repaired and how long it will be before it is likely to become a danger. Service Life Estimation of Civil Engineering Structures is a useful source of information on estimating the service life of reinforced concrete and FRP rehabilitated structures. This book is invaluable in determining how much useful life is left in the ageing stock of reinforced concrete structures around the world.
