Repair of a chemical industry jetty in Aquaba-Jordan
Abstract The paper presents the results of a two-year work on the inspection, testing and repair of a jetty in the port of Aqaba in Jordan. The jetty was found in a moderately to severely deteriorated state seventeen years after construction. Chloride attack in the splash zone and chemical attack in the deck were diagnosed. Petrographic analysis of concrete in the deck revealed signs of sulfate attack. This was correlated with the chemicals handed on the berth. A comprehensive repair plan was devised and executed with the use of PC blended with GGBS together with pore blockers in the splash zone. The stage was set to monitor the repair works including a location where a variation on the pore blocker in the form of calcium nitrite was introduced.
