Abstract

The paper describes frequent mistakes in diagnostics and rehabilitation of building struc- tures which will be demonstrated on a real reinforced concrete conduit in Wastewater Treatment Works. Primary diagnostics of damaged reinforced concrete constructions is over and over again ig- nored and this situation brings about subsequent unsuitable choice of reconstruction techniques. To- gether with poor method of execution, the structure rehabilitation became much more expensive and at the end the final result could cause much more serious problems and damages of concrete structure. Nowadays the reinforced concrete discharge conduit which was rehabilitated in 2001 is again in critical condition. Today condition of mentioned construction requires another and much more expensive re- newal in relatively short time.
