Historic Concrete: From Concrete Repair to Concrete Conservation

In this thesis, we study historic concrete in the Netherlands, that is to say the concrete dating back from the middle of the 19th century up to the 1960s. Within this period, the application and properties of concrete varied, due to increasing technological insight and social acceptance of concrete as a building material. Although the application of concrete in the Netherlands was late compared with neighbouring countries, there are quite specific and interesting developments and innovations in Dutch concrete, especially with regard to surface finishes.
