Abstract:
A repair program has been designed for the reconstruction of damaged concrete steps at the Rugby Football Union Ground in Twickenham, England. The deteriorated steps were cut away from the existing steel support beams. Reinforcing was fixed around the steel beams and new concrete sup-port steps were cast in place. Then, precast, prestressed concrete steps were erected in place to span between the new cast-in-place concrete support steps. All the surfaces were given a waterproofing acid and alkaline resistant final treatment which gave the structure a uniform appearance. [Author]
