Abstract
This study outlines a successful and effective plan for repairing water-leakage cracks in concrete structures. The lack of adequate solutions for water-leakage cracks often results in unnecessarily high repair costs, and as such this remains a problem that requires constant attention. Unfortunately, despite the availability of a vast number of different materials and methods, it is often difficult to attain a perfect waterproof sealing The reason for the difficulties in the repair of water-leakage cracks can be attributed to an insufficient knowledge and understanding of the negative factors (i.e., chemical and physical (mechanical) conditions) that cause water-leakage cracks, and of the properties of the repair materials and methods. In this study, guidelines and methods for the selection of adequate materials for the repair of water-leakage cracks in concrete structures were developed for countries that do not already have general guidelines on this subject, and for local regulatory authorities elsewhere.
누수균열은 상시 콘크리트 구조체의 거동, 물의 성분, 수압, 온도, 화학 물질 등 다양한 환경 요인의 영향이 작용함에 따라 이에 대응할 수 있는 성능을 확보한 보수재료 및 공법이 사용되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 구조물은 국가적으로 유사한 공학적 특성(배합설계, 사용재료, 시공방법, 유지관리 등)을 가지고 있기 때문에, 누수균열에 대한 보수 접근도 크게 다르지 않을 것으로 보고, 향후 유지관리 전문가들의 공통적 기술 지침의 필요에 따라 자료를 개발하였다.
