Preservation Brief 15, Preservation of Historic Concrete: Problems and General Approaches
Author(s): William B. Coney
Year: 2004
Summary
This is number fifteen of 42 preservation briefs prepared by the Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service. This brief focuses on problems and general approaches for the preservation of historic concrete.
This Brief surveys the principal problems posed by concrete deterioration, their likely causes, and approaches to their remedies. In almost every instance, remedial work should only be undertaken by qualified professionals. Faulty concrete repair can worsen structural problems and lead to further damage or safety hazards. Concrete repairs are not the province of do-it-yourselfers. Consequently, the corrective measures discussed here are included for general information purposes only; they do not provide "how to" advice.
