Abstract
Deals with the rehabilitation of domestic buildings up to six storeys high whose external walls are of loadbearing no-fines concrete cast in situ, whether houses, flats or maisonettes. The limitations and problems identified and the solutions suggested in this guide may prove helpful to those charged with the responsibility of rehabilitating other, less common, forms of no-fines concrete dwellings in their stock.
