Techniques for Repairing Civil Engineering Works
This chapter outlines the repair techniques that apply to structural or nonstructural damage. The reinforcement of concrete structures using the technique of glued sheets consists of overcoming the insufficiencies of resistance that result from degradation of the structure or from an underdimensioning of the latter through the adherence of metal plates on the concrete surface. The technique of glued composite fabrics or plates is identical to the technique for glued metal plates but substituting the metal with composite materials. The shotcrete technique consists of projecting concrete on the wall to be strengthened by discharge through a nozzle. This is carried out by adherent thin layers because of the projection pressure. The aim of cathodic protection is to stop the corrosion process before mechanical risks reach a high level. This method of protecting concrete reinforcements against corrosion involves lowering the electrical potential all along the reinforcement to a point called the protection potential.
