Literature review of the use of common protective coatings for concrete structures with experiences in the South African context by Jappie, Luqmaan

“…South Africa does not have such a standard, but is in the process of adopting the European standards for concrete (South African Bureau of Standards, 2017), EN 206 and EN 1992 - it would thus be highly beneficial for South Africa to move towards the adoption of the EN 1504 code as well.
