In Malaysia, reinforced concrete structures started widely constructed m late 1950 after the Second World War and large development programme which followed it, established concrete as major constructional material. 2 million gallon concrete reservoir in ITM Shah Alam which will become case study in this thesis was constructed in 1970 and now it is 26 years old . The use of a relatively new building material inevitably brings problems which were not anticipated initially. Reinforced concrete is no exception and due to the increasing age of the early structures, me need for repair and maintenence is increasing. While the design of structures varies widely from one country to another, the principles of repair are more universally applicable. Therefore the contents of this thesis is hope will be useful to a very wide range of persons who are responsible for the maintenence of concrete structures of all types.
