Civil engineering structures such as bridges, monumental buildings, tall towers, dams, harbours, offshore structures, etc., deteriorate due to several reasons. The deterioration of the structures is primarily due to ageing, aggressive environment, industrial pollution, faulty design or construction and different natural disasters. Demolition and rebuilding of the deteriorating infrastructure are the major concerns faced by the nation today due to economic crisis and several other issues.
