Concrete 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. Concrete
structures deteriorate due to a number of processes leading to
cracking and spalling of the concrete. To date, the strategy has
been repair and rehabilitation rather than replacement.
Replacement may represent a programmed operation if
referred to structural elements having a lower intrinsic

corrosion of Reinforcement can range from the elementary, repair of a form-related defect,
to the complex, rehabilitation of a load bearing structure.
Repair techniques are used to restore the structural integrity
and shape of a concrete element and generally include removal
of damaged concrete and placement of new concrete.
Bullivant Arabia Ltd. has the technical expertise for repairing
and rehabilitating deteriorated and damaged concrete structures
with extensive equipment resources and proven project
experience. It allows us to respond quickly to provide the right
repair solution for your needs. Our commitment to excellence
Patch Repair of Concrete wall is reflected in the successful completion of projects ranging

structures.
Bullivant Arabia Ltd. offers the appropriate repair and
rehabilitation solution needed for any concrete structure,
together with innovative methods of structural lifting and a
variety of corrosion protection methods to meet unique or
complex project requirements cost-effectively and efficiently.
Repair Strategy
The planning, design, implementation and monitoring of a
Water tank wall damaged by repair and/or strengthening project should basically be directed
Corrosion toward the following objectives:
1. Ascertaining the present state of the structure,
2. Establishing the repair and/or strengthening requirements,
3. Preparation of a repair program,
4. Determining the required target condition of the structure
after repair and strengthening,
5. Determination of the suitability of the proposed repair
and/or strengthening systems,
6. Site supervision with quality control, and
7. Re-checks and inspection controls.

Repair of Expansion Joints Repair techniques are used to restore the structural integrity
and shape of a concrete element. Rehabilitation methods on the
other hand, in addition to restoring structural integrity and
shape, mitigate or stop the process responsible for the damage.
Because rehabilitation includes addressing the cause of the

problem itself, the repairs last significantly longer. However,


rehabilitation differs from new construction in several
important aspects including project scale, accessibility of the
area being repaired, and control of ambient conditions during
the repair and interactive processes that arise because of the
repair.
For individual members, it will be necessary to determine
whether the best option is to repair or replace. In making this
decision, cost must be considered along with factors such as
convenience to the public, longevity of the structure, whether
the rehabilitation is long term or short term, and the practicality
Overhead Repairs of either option. Due to the variation in the types of problems
encountered, the engineer must perform an in-depth inspection
of the structure to identify the defects that exist, and develop a
solution which is unique to the problems found.
The deterioration of concrete due to corrosion of reinforcement
requires a more detailed study. Simply replacing the
deteriorated concrete and restoring the original cover over the
steel will not solve the problem. Also, if the structure is salt-
contaminated, the electrolytic conditions will be changed by
the application of new concrete, and the consequences of these
changed conditions must be considered before any repairs are
undertaken.

Structural Lifting and Supporting


Description: Mechanical lifting of settled grade slabs
or in some cases, even a part or whole of the main
structure itself and supporting them in the lifted
position by means of piles or pressure grouting.

Equipments for lifting:

1. A set of hydraulic jacks with pumps and


accessories.
2. Lifting frames and accessories.
3. Dywidag bars with anchoring systems.

Procedure:

1. Drill holes and construct the piles to suite the


design load.
2. Support the lifting frames on the constructed piles
using temporary stools.
3. Anchor the Dywidag bars to the slab to be lifted
and connected the Dywidag bars to the lifting
frame.
4. Lift the frame against the constructed piles by
means of hydraulic jacks in between them.
5. The lifting of the frame will enable the slab also to
be lifted, adjust the slab to the required level.
6. Remove the jacks and lifting frame one by one, by
connecting the lifted slab to the pile permanently.

Reservations:

The settled slab or structure should be structurally


sound, without any cracks or deterioration.
The slab/structure should be de-bonded from the
nearby elements.

Advantages:

1. No excavation is required.
2. Grade slab's capacities are upgraded with
minimum disruption.
3. Disruption to floor finishes is minimal.
4. Fast operation when compared with all other
available methods.
5. Cost effective in saving the structure.

Typical projects undertaken:

1. MODA, Military camp, Sulayyil


2. King Abdul Aziz Military Academy, Riyadh.

Shotcreting
Description: The process of repairing the
concrete affected by reinforcement corrosion
or other deterioration and to strengthen any
structural elements by a mixture of cement,
aggregate and water, with or without
admixtures, which are projected at high
velocity from a nozzle in to place as a
continuous stream without interruption.
Compaction to produce a dense homogenous
mass is achieved by the mixture's own
velocity.

Dry Process: In this method, the cement and Reinstatement of corroded wall
aggregate are batched and mixed without
added water, and fed into the delivery gun.
The machine feeds a continuous and even
amount of mixed material under high air
pressure into a high velocity stream of dry air
in the flexible delivery hose. Water is
introduced as a spray at a special nozzle at the
discharge end.

Wet Process: In this method, conventional


concrete or grout pumping equipment is
generally used. A suitable mix is pumped to
the discharge nozzle along a flexible delivery
hose. An additional air supply is introduced at
the discharge nozzle, to speed up the flow and
impart sufficient velocity so that the material
is compacted on impact.

Fields of Application:

1. Repair of large areas of concrete


deteriorated due to reinforcement
corrosion or other reasons. Defective Column
2. Strengthening of existing concrete
columns, beams and slabs by increasing
the concrete sectional area by the
application of shotcreting and by
increasing the steel.
3. Construction of structures with complex
shapes, where the preparation of shuttering
is difficult and complex.

Shotcrete Mix: Most repair works use


aggregate of less than 5mm maximum size and
type I cement. The aggregate cement ratio for a
dry process is generally 3.5 : 4.0 : 1 by weight.
Reinstatement of Column
The water : cement ratio in dry process is low

(typically 0.38 to 0.41) as not water is needed


to achieve workability. The placed
characteristics are good density, low
permeability, high strength (typically 30 to 40
N/mm2) and good bond to suitable substrate.

In wet process the range of aggregate: cement


ratio, maximum aggregate size and aggregate
grading is limited to what will give a pumpable
mix with the proposed or available equipment.
The water cement ratio will be higher than in
dry process. The placed characteristics are
good density, fair strength (typically 20 to 30
N/mm2) and good bond to a suitable substrate.

Repair Methodology:

1. Remove all distressed concrete from the Reinstated columns


affected structural area and a minimum of
20 mm behind the steel reinforcement
2. Sand blast substrate to remove loose
concrete and to remove the corrosion in the
steel
3. Reinforcement which has lost more than
15% of its cross sectional area shall be
supplemented with new reinforcement
4. Protect the application area to avoid
overspray
5. Apply the shotcrete, perpendicular to the
substrate, ensuring full encapsulation of
reinforcement and good bond with the
substrate.
6. The shotcreted surface shall be left as-shot
or can be formed to a sem-smooth surface,
as per the requirement.

Typical projects undertaken:

1. King Saud University, Residential


building, Riyadh.
2. Private residential villa, Riyadh.
3. Riyadh Bank Building, Buraidah
4. Ministry of Health, Hospital Building,
Riyadh.
