3RCS- CASE STUDY OF VIGNAN

BHAVAN(CPWD BUILDING)
Dr.P.Rathish Kumar
Department of Civil Engineering
NIT Warangal

DISTRESS NOTICED

60 years old two storied RCC framed building.


Minor to major cracks in columns,
Spalling of cover concrete,
Honeycombing, absence of cement paste in the concrete,
Scaled corrosion of all exposed reinforcement steel due to
carbonation,
Marks indicating seepage and growth of vegetation, Bulging of
concrete,
Broken lateral ties in the columns,
Cracking and spalling of concrete is more in lower 4 meters(1st floor),
Cantilever projection at the slab level shows spalling of concrete and
corrosion of steel,
Columns above 1st floor level appear to be in more sound condition
as compared to the bottom level.
Cracks, spalling of concrete, exposure and snapping of re bars were
observed in beams and Columns at various locations in the structure,
Spalling of concrete and exposure of re bars were observed in the
bottom slab at a few locations.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

Appreciable decrease in
the compressive strength.
Needs further testing.
18-21MPa

Appreciable decrease in the


qualitative strength of
concrete. Needs core testing
Doubtful category

HALF CELL POTENTIAL TEST

Probability of corrosion in more than 50% in many locations

CORE CUTTING TEST


There were honey
combing in the cores
Surface voids were
found
Concrete cores shows
deterioration of concrete
Strength was between
17-19.9MPa

DAMAGE CLASSIFICATION BASED ON PRELIMINARY


INSPECTION AND NDT
Severe: Badly effected, Multiple very wide cracks more than
70%. Reinforcement is corroded. NDT values depict
category of heavily deteriorated category
Medium: Multiple cracks to the tune of 30%. Reinforcement
is corroded. Spalling of concrete upon hitting with a hammer.
NDT values depict doubtful category.
Mild: Small structural and non-structural cracks. Fair values
of UPSV
No Damage: Already maintenance was attended to the
structure.

Repair Methodology-1 Severe Damage


1)Supporting the Structure,
2)Removal of unsound concrete from the affected
area,
3)Protective treatment to the existing steel
reinforcement,
4)Addition of the reinforcement steel where area of
the steel is reduced to more than 10 percent,
5)Repairs using single component high strength
polymer modified mortar or using high strength free
flow micro concrete,
6)Strengthening of the member using E-Glass or
Carbon fibre wrapping,

BEFORE REPAIR

Supporting the Structure


Providing and erecting steel
props (about 14' height,
braced at center and
supporting a continuous
2"x3" wooden runner,
resting on wedge and block
minimum capacity 3 Ton) to
support the structure
provisionally during repair
and jacketing etc. and
maintaining them in position
till required.
Removing unsound
concrete
Protective treatment to
steel

Treatment to corrosion damaged existing steel reinforcement


Application of rust converting alkaline primer-Application of
rust converting alkaline primer on corrosion affected steel bars
after removing all the scales. It is alkaline in nature and
convert both hematite and magnetite compounds in to stable
compounds. MYK rust remover can be an alternative.
Application of two coats of IPNet- RB anticorrosive epoxy
coating on steel rebars- Application of primer shall be
followed with application of two coats of anticorrosive epoxy
coating for bar protection against future corrosion. Coating is
for old as well as newly provided steel.

Treatment to corrosion damaged existing steel reinforcement


Application of Concrete penetrating corrosion inhibitor on
Concrete surface- Carry out application of Bi-polar migratory
corrosion inhibitor on concrete surface by brush in two coats.
Inhibits the corrosion and de-passivates the electrochemical
reaction
Providing Additional Reinforcing Steel- Makeup lost steel
area due to corrosion by providing additional steel
reinforcement. Anchor the steel rebar in sound concrete body
up to desired depth by structural GRADE adhesive

Strengthening the Columns


Making Up Lost Strength of Core Concrete By Low Viscosity
Monomer

Grouting of low viscosity monomer. This is a thermosetting


polymer. Due to its low viscosity it effectively fills up all microcracks and voids up to full depth of concrete. Beside
enhancing existing binding matrix this shall also enhance in
ductility property of elements
Grouting of Structural Cracks by Low Viscosity Epoxy
Grout:
Grout the wide structural cracks in the concrete by grouting of
low viscosity grout. Cut a V-grove along the crack of
proportionate size. Drill the holes along the crack at desired
spacing. Seal the remaining portion by non-shrink epoxy putty
to avoid any leakages of grout material.

Sectional Reconstruction in Excessively Damaged


Concrete in Structural Elements
Bonding Coat
Making up lost section with free flow micro concrete
Making up lost section with latex modified mortar

Strengthening of the member using E-Glass or Carbon


fiber wrapping: Methodology for Wrap System--Fiber
Wrapping Technique
The fiber wrapping technique of retrofitting is relatively new
technique. It has got certain inherent advantages such as
relative ease for application, high strength to weight ratio,
energy, and time saving, clean, and noise free application.
The fiber wrapping system offers resistance to corrosion of
reinforcement also. The fiber wrap skin acts as a deterrent to
environmental degradation. It also has tailorability to adapt to
any shape of substrate concrete.

Repair Methodology-2

This repair methodology is for the columns whose damage level


is classified as "Mild" and "Moderate", which includes:
i. Supporting the Structure,
ii.Removal of unsound concrete from the affected area,
iii Protective treatment to the existing steel reinforcement,
iv. Addition of the reinforcing steel, if required,
v. Building up the columns with high strength free flow micro
concrete,
vi. Jacketing of the columns is recommended with high strength
free flow micro- concrete (strength not less than 40 MPa) right
from the foundation level to make up the concrete that lost due
delamination or chipping.

Repair Methodology-3
This repair methodology is for externally located damaged
beams and chajjas whose repair includes:
i. Supporting the beams and chajjas,
ii. Removal of unsound concrete from the affected area,
iii. Protective treatment to the existing steel reinforcement,
iv. Addition of the reinforcing steel, if required,
v. Building up the sections with polymer modified mortar or
micro-concrete with appropriate workability,
vi. Patchwork with polymer modified mortar or micro-concrete
with appropriate workability is recommended for building the
sections.
