Abstract : Structures are meticulously designed to withstand predetermined loads throughout their lifespan. However, reinforced concrete (RC) structures, which have been widely employed worldwide for the past 50-60 years, are susceptible to a range of issues leading to varying degrees of damage. Factors such as material deterioration, construction techniques, workmanship quality, overloading, aggressive environments, and the fatigue and corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement contribute to the natural degradation of RCC. This deterioration is now evident in numerous concrete structures. In the current landscape of building research, the significance of repair and rehabilitation cannot be overstated. This is particularly crucial in developed countries where extensive rehabilitation efforts, especially for heritage buildings, are imperative due to their cultural and historical significance. Dealing with these challenges requires a systematic approach, encompassing thorough assessments, innovative repair strategies, and a commitment to sustainable solutions to ensure the longevity and resilience of our built environment.

Keywords : Repair – Rehabilitation – Damage Assessment – Maintenance.
