This article provides an overview of the sort of damage that is typically found on structures that have been recently rehabilitated in the city of Sarajevo. The damage is partly the result of war action that took place during the period from 1992 to 1995. However, the main cause of structure deterioration was the action of atmospheric agents.
The employees of the Institute for Materials and Structures of the Civil Engineering Faculty in Sarajevo conducted sample analysis to determine the degree of damage. The analysis was done with the goal of rehabilitating and restoring the primary function of the structures. However, most of the structures were not rehabilitated immediately after the conflict and some have yet to be rehabilitated because financial assets determine the rhythm of reconstruction and many of these assets have not been forthcoming. As a consequence of this lapse in rehabilitation, there has been further deterioration of the structures, in addition to damage that is not a direct result of war action.
