Repair of Concrete Structures to EN 1504
Preference :
Protection, repair and reinforcement (i.e. rehabilitation) of concrete structures requires relatively complicated design, dimensioning and control. The series of CEN standards under EN
1504 defines the principles of rehabilitation of concrete structures, which are damaged.
Furthermore, these standards specify guidelines for the choice of repair materials and systems that are appropriate for rehabilitation and maintenance of concrete structures.
These standards describe the main points of rehabilitation of a damaged concrete structure:
• Assessment of the registered state of a concrete structure
• Determination of the courses of damage
• Determination of the objective of the rehabilitation of a damaged concrete structure
• Choice of relevant principles for rehabilitation of a damaged concrete structure
• Choice of methods for rehabilitation of a damaged concrete structure
• Definition of the properties for repair materials and systems for rehabilitation of a dam-
aged concrete structure or its members
•Specification of requirements for the maintenance that should always follow rehabilitation of a damaged concrete structure or its members.
It is significant to note that the EN 1504 standards do not exclude other methods than those
mentioned in ENV 1504-9. However, application of such methods is limited to situations in
which their application is justified. However, documentation of the properties of the considered repair materials and systems and their characteristics is mandatory.
