Repair Application Procedures and Case Studies, Part 2 of 2
Tuesday, October 28, 2025 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM, H - Holiday 3
This is the second of two sessions provided by the ACI E706 Concrete Repair Education Committee. The second session will cover Concrete Repair Application Procedures (RAP) 10-15 and associated case studies. Anyone interested in concrete repair techniques and case studies would benefit from this session. The thesis behind this session is to learn basic concrete repair procedures and gain knowledge in concrete repair from industry practitioners. Understand step by step concrete repair techniques and safety considerations.Learning Objectives:(1) The primary function of leveling and reprofiling is to correct surface deficiencies and provide the intended design surface. There are several methods that can be used to prepare the concrete surface for leveling and reprofiling;(2) Slabjacking is used to level and align concrete slabs-on-ground that have shifted due to settlement, erosion, flooding, or shrinkage of the soil or base below the slab. Existing soil conditions and the selection of the proper materials for slab jacking are critical factors for success;(3) Shotcrete placement is typically used to restore structural integrity, increase concrete cover over reinforcement, or both. Shotcrete allows placement of high strength, durable concrete repair materials over large surface areas efficiently and quickly. It is a excellent solution when forming requirements are difficult, expensive or labor intensive;(4) Flood-coating a concrete slab using methacrylates is used when there is a need to fill and bond small cracks, such as shrinkage cracks, as well as to seal the slab against the penetration of water, salts, or deleterious chemicals.This session has been approved by AIA and ICC for 2 PDHs (0.2 CEUs). Please note: You must attend the live session for the entire duration to receive credit. On-demand sessions do not qualify for PDH/CEU credit.
Leveling and Reprofiling of Vertical and Overhead Structures Presented By: Joseph Swann Affiliation: Crom Corp Description: The primary function of leveling and reprofiling is to correct surface deficiencies and provide the intended design surface. There are several methods that can be used to prepare the concrete surface for leveling and reprofiling.
Slabjacking Presented By: Joseph Swann Affiliation: Crom Corp Description: Slabjacking is used to level and align concrete slabs-on-ground that have shifted due to settlement, erosion, flooding, or shrinkage of the soil or base below the slab. Existing soil conditions and the selection of the proper materials for slab jacking are critical factors for success.
Concrete Repair by Shotcrete Application Presented By: Charles Hanskat Affiliation: American Shotcrete Association Description: Shotcrete placement is typically used to restore structural integrity, increase concrete cover over reinforcement, or both. Shotcrete allows placement of high strength, durable concrete repair materials over large surface areas efficiently and quickly. It is a excellent solution when forming requirements are difficult, expensive or labor intensive.
Methacrylate Flood Coat Presented By: Benjamin Estrich Affiliation: Martinmartin Inc Description: Flood-coating a concrete slab using methacrylates is used when there is a need to fill and bond small cracks, such as shrinkage cracks, as well as to seal the slab against the penetration of water, salts, or deleterious chemicals.
Concrete Removal Using Hydrodemolition Presented By: David A Vanocker Affiliation: Description: Concrete repair and restoration will typically require removal of deteriorated concrete, preparation of the repair surface, and cleaning of the reinforcing steel and embedded items. Hydrodemolition is a method of concrete removal and surface preparation using high-pressure water jets.
Structural Strengthening using FRP Presented By: David Whitmore Affiliation: Ksi Structural Engineers Description: FRP strengthening is used when a structure is required to carry structural loads greater than its existing capacity. This can be for new loads being applied to the structure, or to replace the load-carrying capacity lost due to deterioration of the structure.
