The purpose of this report is twofold. Firstly, to give an overview of the issues relating to the management of concrete structures in general and, secondly, to supplement this with details on items concerned with assessment and remedial actions, as these are important technical parts of management and maintenance systems. The more general aspects of asset management are dealt with here in chapter 1 which is mainly aimed at owners and decisionmakers. Chapters 2 and 3 concern the information required for decision making in the assessment process and are aimed more at consultants and contractors. A review of remediation techniques is given in chapter 3 which is intended to assist in the selection of remedial actions rather than their execution. The report also includes some significant appendices regarding load testing, monitoring, fire and last but not least concerning special considerations relating to seismic retrofitting.
