Abstract
Gives recommendations for repair of deteriorated copings or cappings on existing walls. The recommendations are equally suitable for use on walls where copings or cappings are being reinstated on a wall which is being lowered in height to reduce risk of collapse. Choices of materials and detailing, including traditional options, are given for locations with low or high risk of frost damage. Additional guidance is given for situations where more secure copings or cappings are needed.
