Planning and scheduling concrete repair work - a case study

In this case study the authors demonstrate the importance of recording and studying the details of concrete repair work to enable future projects to be carried out more efficiently with less slippage in the time schedule and therefore less financial damage over the time plants, such as kilns, are shutdown. In this case study, the distress in the concrete pier was apparently due to the twisting of the platform as a result of torsional stress, as well as to diagonal shear cracks in the walls.
