| وصف الكتاب | Maintenance of a building refers to the work done to keep an existing building in a condition where it can perform its intended function. Overlooked dilapidation, inadequate maintenance and a lack of repair works may lead to a shortened life span of a building. This comprehensive book focuses on the maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of a building, and presents guidelines for traditional as well as modern techniques for upkeeping and repairing buildings.It is organised into five parts. Part I deals with the maintenance of buildings, including description of construction chemicals, concrete repair chemicals, special materials used for repair. Part II covers the repair of various parts of a building, including the strengthening of reinforced concrete members by shoring, underpinning, and plate bonding. RC jacketing and FRP methods are explored in Part III, which also looks at the rebuilding of RC slabs and protection of earth slopes. Part IV examines minor works done in a building, such as construction of compound walls, gates, waters sumps, relaying of floors, joining two adjacent rooms and so on. Part V covers control of termites and fungus in buildings.Written in an engaging style, this book will be a must-read for undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil engineering. The book will also be of benefit to technical professionals.Key features:Includes figures to clarify concepts.Chapter-end references make the text suitable for further study.Appendices provide extra information on non-destructive field tests for concrete buildings and a rough estimation of the construction and maintenance costs of buildings. |
