DISTRESS OF CONCRETE
STRUCTURES
If a building has given about
25v to 30
years
of
service
without
much
maintenance or repair then it is
reasonable to expect that it would need
some repair sooner or later.

LIFE SPAN
Monumental structure like temple
,mosque or church is 500 to 1000 yrs.
Steel bridges ,steel buildings or similar
structures is 100 to 150 yrs.
Concrete bridges or hign rise buildings
or stone bridges is 100 yrs.
A house or general building is 60 to 80
yrs.
Highways :concrete pavement for
about 30 to 35 yrs and bituminous
pavements for about 8 to 10 yrs.

Inadequate reinforcement
Many a contractor does not put enough
reinforcement in concrete structural
member s and hence it fails under

Controlling cracks
Better concrete mix design
Friendly environment condition at
the time of concreting at site.
Have dense concrete
Use low heat of pozzolanic cement in
mass concreting.

IDENTIFICATION OF DISTRESSED
LOCATIONS ON STRUCTURES
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Carry out a preliminary inspection
possibly with some testing in order to
get characterize the nature of problem
and to plan the detailed investigations.
Detailed inspection
Checking the strength of concrete
Chemical analysis on concrete
Corrosion test

IDENTIFICATION OF DISTRESSED
LOCATIONS ON STRUCTURES
Conclusion from investigation
In
majority of cases ,the cause of
damage can be tracked to the following
singly or in combination:
Low cover to steel
Permeable concrete
High chloride levels
51
REPAIR
Repair refers to modification of
structure, damaged in its appearance
or serviceability, to
restore, partly or
wholly, the pre-existing characteristics
of serviceability, load-bearing capacity
and if necessary, to improve its
durability.
Repair techniques are used to restore
the structural integrity and shape of a
concrete element and generally include
removal of damaged concrete and
replacement of new concrete.

54
Cement bound
Polymer cement bound
Resin hardener bound(epoxy)
Following materials are generally
used in crack repair:
1.Low viscosity epoxy materials
2.Epoxy modified mortar
3.Polyurethane based coating over
epoxy mortar
4.Elastomeric concrete

57
Steel fibers
Carbon fibers
Glass fibers
Polypropylene fibers
58
Ferro cement
Term Ferro cement is applied to a
mixture of Portland cement and sand
reinforced with layers of woven or
expanded steel mesh and closely
spaced small diameter steel rods.
Construction made with this is more
resistant to earthquakes.
59
60
Application by hand
Casting into formwork fixed into
existing concrete surface
Spraying through purposely designed
equipment.
61
ASSESMENT OF QUALITY OF
STRUCTURE SOON AFTER ITS
As the repair of structural
element of
CONSTRUCTION
building is over, it is desirable hat
soundness of structure is assed with
the help of non-destructive testing
technique. Some NDTs which are
available are:
Pulse velocity measurement method
(PVM)
Cover meter
Rebound hammer or similar methods
Core cutting and testing of critical spots
