Concrete can deteriorate over time due to a number of factors including moisture penetration, chemical attack, and physical damage. Preventing concrete deterioration is much easier and more economical than repairing deteriorated concrete. But potential hazards to concrete cannot always be predicted and some well-engineered techniques and procedures may prove unsuccessful. Thus, there is generally a need for follow-up maintenance action. The primary types of maintenance for concrete include timely repair of cracks and spalls, cleaning of concrete to remove unsightly material, surface protection, and joint restoration.
This course describes the materials and procedures appropriate for cleaning and protecting concrete surfaces and joint maintenance. It is most relevant to engineers working with concrete or those wishing to attain knowledge on concrete maintenance.
