Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition will have color illustrations. Concrete is an extraordinarily versatile building material used for utilitarian, ornamental, and monumental structures since ancient times. Composed of a mixture of sand, gravel, crushed stone, or other coarse material, bound together with lime or cement, concrete undergoes a chemical reaction and hardens when water is added. Inserting reinforcement adds tensile strength to structural concrete elements. The use of reinforcement contributes significantly to the range and size of building and structure types that can be constructed with concrete. This Brief provides an overview of the history of concrete and its popularization in the United States, surveys the principal causes and modes of concrete deterioration, and outlines approaches to repair and protection that are appropriate to historic concrete. In the context of this Brief, historic concrete is considered to be concrete used in construction of structures of historical, architectural, or engineering interest, whether those structures are old or relatively new.

Download or read book Concrete Structures written by R. Dodge Woodson and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2009-06-22 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of a repair or rehabilitation project depends on the specific plans designed for it. Concrete Structures: Protection, Repair and Rehabilitation provides guidance on evaluating the condition of the concrete in a structure, relating the condition of the concrete to the underlying cause or causes of that condition, selecting an appropriate repair material and method for any deficiency found, and using the selected materials and methods to repair or rehabilitate the structure. Guidance is also provided for engineers focused on maintaining concrete and preparing concrete investigation reports for repair and rehabilitation projects. Considerations for certain specialized types of rehabilitation projects are also given. In addition, the author translates cryptic codes, theories, specifications and details into easy to understand language. Tip boxes are used to highlight key elements of the text as well as code considerations based on the International Code Council or International Building Codes. The book contains various worked out examples and equations. Case Studies will be included along with diagrams and schematics to provide visuals to the book. - Deals primarily with evaluation and repair of concrete structures - Provides the reader with a Step by Step method for evaluation and repair of Structures - Covers all types of Concrete structures ranging from bridges to sidewalks - Handy tables outlining the properties of certain types of concrete and their uses

This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of Concrete Repair and Rehabilitation is gaining importance in view of its positive impacts in terms of socio-economic benefits and environmental sustainability. Due to growing importance of this field, many engineering colleges have included the subject of concrete repair and rehabilitation in the senior undergraduate and postgraduate course curriculums of civil engineering. This book is an earnest attempt to help students of civil engineering in enhancing their understanding and awareness about critical elements of repair and rehabilitation of concrete structure. The content is organised in such a way that it fulfils the academic needs of the students. This text attempts to dovetail all important aspects such as causes of distress, assessment and evaluation of deterioration, techniques for repair and rehabilitation along with selection of repair and rehabilitation materials and other important aspects related to preventive maintenance and rehabilitation/structural safety measures. The primary objective of this textbook is to guide students to: • Understand the underlying causes and types of deterioration in concrete structure • Learn about the field and laboratory testing methods available to evaluate the level of deterioration. • Get well acquainted with options of repair materials and techniques available to address different types of distress in concrete structure. • Grasp the knowledge of available techniques and their application for strengthening existing structural systems.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objectives of the initial phase of this investigation were to (a) identify and evaluate various abrasion-erosion-resistant materials for repairing and improving the durability of concrete stilling basin slabs, (b) develop optimum techniques for repair and rehabilitation of stilling basins, and (c) develop guidance for designing stilling basin exit configurations to avoid entrapping abrasive materials within the basin. A survey of Corps Divisions and District offices identified 52 structures that have experienced concrete damage due to erosion. Depths of erosion ranged from a few inches to approximately 10 ft. In general, this erosion damage resulted from the abrasive effects of waterborne rocks and other debris being circulated over the concrete surface during construction and operation of the structure. A variety of materials including armored concrete, conventional concrete, epoxy resins, fiber- reinforced concrete, and polymer-impregnated concrete were used with varying degrees of success in the 31 repairs reported. The degree of success generally was inversely proportional to the degree of exposure to those conditions conducive to erosion damage. These materials have been used with various construction procedures, including dewatering and underwater repairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a laboratory test program on abrasion-erosion resistance of concrete, including the development of a new underwater abrasion-erosion test method. This program was designed to evaluate the relative abrasion-erosion resistance of various materials considered for use in the repair of erosion-damaged concrete structures. The test program encompassed three concrete types (conventional concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete, and polymer concrete); seven aggregate types (limestone, chert, trap rock, quartzite, granite, siliceous gravel, and slag); three principal water-cement rations (0.72, 0.54, and 0.40); and six types of surface treatment (vacuum, polyurethane coating, acrylic mortar coating, epoxy mortar coating, furan resin mortar coating, and iron aggregate topping). A total of 114 specimens made from 41 batches of concrete was tested. Based on the test data obtained, a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of various parameters on the abrasion-erosion resistance of concrete was presented. Materials suitable for use in the repair of erosion-damaged concrete structures were recommended. Additional work to correlate the reported findings with field performance was formulated.
