Description
The preparation of learning material on ” Modern Techniques in Repairs and Renovation of Building” is undertaking by Indian Society for Technical Education under the Working Professionals Learning Project. The various topics covered in this materials are routing and sealing, stitching techniques for members failing in flexure, shear, torsion and excessive compression, use of pressure forms for replacement of concrete and small introduction on ultrasonic pulse velocity method and rebound hammer methods for assessing the in-situ quality of concrete and strength respectively. Since there is no authentic information material available at one place, the necessity arises to have this material. The authors feel that this material fulfills the requirement of much needed information and techniques to implement in the field whenever the need arises. It is felt that transfer of technology for implementation will be fulfilled by this learning ma
