Concrete Repair, Rehabilitation and Retrofitting
Concrete Repair, Rehabilitation and Retrofitting Book By M. G. Alexander
In the light of the developments in the field of con-
crete structures the increasing attention for “design
for service life” is remarkable. The background of
this development is clear. Damage due to insufficient
attention for durability, or due to the use of inade-
quate criteria, have led to expensive repair and even
demolition and replacement. De Sitter (1984) made
a statement which perfectly touches the core of the
matter. This statement is known as the Rule of Fives:
“If no maintenance is carried out the later repair costs
will be five times the saved maintenance costs. If no
repair is carried out, the cost of renovation will be
five times the money saved by not repairing”. Mean-
while we have experienced the truth behind this say-
ing: expensive maintenance and repair measures are
necessary there, where in the past the need for the
aspect durability was ignored.
