The purpose of this guide to bring forward the reclamation s methodology for concrete repair. For many year, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclation) has published the Concrete Manual. Reclamation operates and maintains a water resource infractructure, located primarily in the harsh climatic zones. It has become apparent that there is need for modernization and expansion of the information on the methods, materials, and procedures of concrete repair. The guide contains the expertise of numerous individuals who have directly assisted the author on many concrete repair projects or freely shared their concrete repair knowledge whenever requested. Some of the material in this guide originated in the various editions of Reclamations Concrete Manual. All efforts have been made by the author to bring the guide up to the level of students of UG/PG and teachers as well.
