Investigation of Spall Repair Materials for Concrete Pavement


Book Description

This project investigated the properties and performance of the products used for spall repair of concrete pavement. A survey of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) maintenance engineers produced a roster of 10 repair materials currently in use in the state. After identifying the key characteristics of a successful repair material, a laboratory testing program was developed to evaluate the properties of the repair materials. These materials were tested for strength, compatibility, and bond to quantify their characteristics relative to those products known to work well.




Engineering and Design


Book Description

This manual 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 included on maintenance of concrete and on preparation of concrete investigation reports for repair and rehabilitation projects. Considerations for certain specialized types of rehabilitation projects are also given.
