Introduction Cont
The 2005 ASCE Report card states that it would take $ 1.6 trillion
spent over the next five years to repair and rehabilitate the Americas
infrastructure .
In United kingdom, 50% of the total construction expenditure is spent
on repair, rehabilitation and strengthening work.
Deterioration to concrete structures in India too is increasing at an
alarming rate. However exact figure on amount of repairs is not
available.
Delaying repairs usually results in acceleration of the deterioration
that leads to more costly repairs in future
