Purpose and Background
Deterioration to existing concrete structures is currently occurring at a fast rate and costing billions of dollars every year. Delaying repairs or temporary and inadequate fixes will make the problem worse in a short time. In most cases, it will cost much more to repair the structure in a future time, and in some cases structural failure can occur. Many engineers and contractors are not fully familiar with proper procedure and often perform repairs based on their judgment and prior experiences.
This webinar intends to be a "roadmap" for concrete practitioners for successful and proper concrete repair and rehabilitation projects. The latest guide ACI 546R-14 (Guide to concrete repair) will be reviewed and discussed in detail. An overview of entire process including surface preparation, recommendations for the selection and application of repairing materials and methods, protecting and strengthening concrete structures will be presented. The webinar is applicable to repairing deteriorated or damaged concrete structures, correcting deficiencies, and strengthening the structure.
