As the construction industry has been developed since 1970, there is a great needs to develop the methodology for repair and rehabilitation of the damaged reinforced concrete structures. Numerous materials which are currently used in construction field without any regulations are examined in terms of their serviceabilities and effectiveness. Structural behavior of repaired beams are investigated both statically and dynamically. This paper summarize the overall research plan, which is sponsored by KICT, in 1994.

In the repair and repair works, epoxy resins are widely used as repair materials. The successful concrete repairs and retrofit works depends on the quality of the repair and retrofit materials. Although many materials for the repairs and retrofit have been developed in many contries, information on the repair methods are somewhat limited. Futhermore, the repairs and retrofit methods are also largely dependent on those froms in other developed contries, it is necessary to initiate rather fundamental repair-related research. The purpose of this study is to investigate th physical and mechanical properties of epoxy resin which is commonly used in repairing concrte crack in RC structures. The basic physical properties such as specific gravity, gel point and shrinkage ratio as well as the mechanical properties such ad the tensile and compressive strength, elastic modulus were acquired by the standard test method (KS code). For the test results, the great deviations of physical and mechanical properties among the test materials were discovered and is, therefore, recommended that careful attentions should be give in selecting the epoxy resin by considering the characteristics of the repair materials and repair works.

As the importance of maintenance of reinforced concrete structure recently has emerged, the attention of durability of structure has been increasing. There are many studies about durability decline especially due to the carbonation. In order to study carbonation progress after surface repair of carbonated concrete, each carbonation penetration velocity from different repair materials of concrete structure is compared through the experiment of carbonation accelerating CO₂ concentration to 20% and 100%. As carbonation infiltration progress is predicted through this study, the counterplan of service life evaluation will be prepared on selection of repair materials of concrete structure.

The reinforced concrcte structure were once belicved to have permanent durability. However, it is now spoiled by durability failure caused by the corrosion of embeded steel reingorcement carbonation. alkali-aggregate reaction and salt attack Recently. salt damage has been also spreading. Salt damage is found in concrete structures built using seasands or certain admixtures containing calcium chlorides and in coastal structures frequently caught in seawater spray or blown by seawind It is the aim of this study to investigate the performance and application of new repair system for the exterior wall according to the durability improvement in the RC structures.

Required performance for repair materials are strength, ductility, durability and bonding with the substrate concrete. Various kinds of fiber-reinforced cement composites (FRCCs) have been developed and used as repair materials. Strain-hardening cement based composites (SHCC) is one of the effective repair materials that can be used to improve crack-damage tolerance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. SHCC is a superior FRCC that has multiple cracking characteristic and pseudo strain-hardening behavior. The expansive admixture, which can be used to reduce shrinkage in SHCC materials with less workability by controlling interfacial bonding performance between SHCC and substrate concrete. For the application of SHCC as a repair material to RC structures, this study investigates the flexural performance of expansive SHCC-layered concrete beam. Test variables include the replacement levels of expansive admixture (0 and 10%), repair thickness (30 and 40 mm), and compressive strength of SHCC (30, 70 and 100 MPa). Four point bending tests on concrete beams strengthened with SHCCs were carried out to evaluate the contribution of SHCC on the flexural capacity. The result suggested that expansive SHCC materials can be used for repairing and strengthening of concrete infrastructures.

Concrete structures are degraded physically and chemically due to various reasons after construction. Because the deterioration of concrete structure reduces the service life, reasonable repair and maintenance techniques are needed. Recently, in order to efficiently repair concrete structures, many researches on hybrid repair materials having improved adhesion performance have been carried out actively. In this study, we developed a hybrid repair material containing rapid hardening cement, PVA powder, nylon fiber, and latex to improve adhesion and water-tightness of existing concrete. The compressive strength, drying shrinkage and the adhesion strength test were carried out to evaluate the performance of the repair material. In addition, the flexure bond performance was evaluated before and after repair. From the results, the bending strength was 110% ~ 150% in all specimens except for the specimen containing only the rapid hardening cement, and all the specimens behaved with the existing concrete in the crack pattern generated by the bending strength.

The R/C structures is very popular because of its low construction cost and its semi-permanent life. But in Korea, unfortunately there are few exprets in this field, and the repair methods and selection of material for R/C structures are determined by their subjective personal opinions. Therefore systematic study of this field is ulgently required. For attainning this purpose, in this study the related documents and knowledge or experience from human experts were collected. Based on the collected information cracks are classified into 25 patterns and repair related-knowledge base, which will be formulated and encoded into the domain knowledge, is built. And then an expert system, that can suggest the repair methods in the same way the human experts would, is developed. The results using the developed expert system are compared to the real field practices and they are satisfactory.

This technology is a water leak repair technology using composite materials of concrete structures that block leakage of structures by injecting rapid microcement into the face of underground concrete to block water and injecting flexible glycidylacrylate. Rapid micro cement system repair materials are mixed with fine fibers to improve the flexural sensitivity of the material and to form a layer that blocks stabilized water at the back of the structure by allowing rapid and tight spatial filling during injection with high cohesion The glycidylacrylate repair material can control the expansion rate, and the external stress also has the characteristic that the form of the material is not destroyed or separated, which can also be applied to vibrating induced structures that produce repetitive fatigue loads, and has an effective durability in saline, alkali, acid (chloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid).
