In Situ Repair of Deteriorated Concrete in Hydraulic Structures: Laboratory Study
Presented are the results of a laboratory-scaled test program conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of (a) pressure injection, and (b) polymer impregnation repair techniques for use in 'in situ' repair of cracked concrete hydraulic structures. In general, the test results indicate that pressure injection can be used to effectively restore the integrity of air--dried and water-saturated cracked concrete. Polymer impregnation can be used to improve the quality of the concrete surrounding the crack network. However, its effectiveness in sealing the crack .network is dependent upon the viscosity of the impregnant being used. The two methods can be used in conjunction to effectively repair and improve the overall quality of the structure to be rehabilitated.
