      abstract = {The book presents the work of the RILEM Technical  Committee 249-ISC. Addressing the effective application of  new recommendations for non-destructive in situ strength  assessment of concrete, it provides information about the  different steps of the investigation and processing of test  results, until the delivery of strength estimates, and  includes tables giving the minimum required number of cores  in a variety of situations as well as several examples of  how the recommendations can be used in practice. The book  explores a topic which is of major importance, i.e. the  assessment of concrete compressive strength in existing  structures. This property (both mean and standard  deviation) is a key input in many cases, such as the  reinforcement of structures, the safety checking, the  extension of service life. As the new RILEM recommendations  imply a deep revision (and improvement) of field practice,  the book is intended for managers of structures, structural  engineers and specialists of NDT that have to answer these  issues. More widely, it will benefit engineers and students  who are interested in NDT and in the safety analysis of  structures.},
