Grouting internally with grout materials can repair the micro-cracks and micro-voids of construction joints more efficiently than injecting grouts from the surface of cracks. A new internal grouting method using perforated bundled-cables was developed in this study to enhance the structural integrity of the construction joints. The extensive experiments were performed to examine the mechanical behavior of construction joints which are repaired internally by the developed method. The tests were conducted for rectangular-shaped box wall structures and straight wall structures. The strength and permeability tests at grouted construction joints were conducted to evaluate the structural behavior of repaired construction joints. The present study indicates that the internal grouting method developed in this study enhances greatly the performance of construction joints and may be efficiently used for the leak-tight integrity of construction joints in concrete structures.

The adhesion properties of polymer cement mortars for cement concrete repair were evaluated with respect to polymer-cement ratios and the surface conditions of cement concrete substrate. Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) was used as an additive for polymer cement mortars. The adhesion strength of cement mortar was smaller than that of polymer cement mortar. The adhesion strengths to the dry surfaces of substrate were larger than those to the wet surfaces, indicating that the dryness of substrate increased the adhesion strength in repairing concrete structures.

Recently, we are facing with the trend of demanding high durability concrete for creek structures. When creek structures are deteriorated, it is very difficult to repair them. The objective of this paper is to develop a mixing model for high durability creek concrete having 300kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ compressive strength. According to the result of durability experiment, high durability concrete for creek structures has high resistance of air permeability, absorption, chloride diffusion, and chemical attack.

Most of existing repair materials have some shortcomings such as brittle fracture, imperfect interface bonding and marked difference in modulus of elasticity compared with the structures. These problems make their repair inefficient. Some researches on using a fiber-reinforced mortar as an alternative to enhance the efficiency have been carried out recently. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the performance of sprayed PVA fiber-reinforced mortar as a repair material. We evaluated its mechanical properties, durability and strengthening effect. This study shows that the sprayed PVA fiber-reinforced mortar is remarkably effective as a repair material.

Cracking of repair material due to restraint of shrinkage could hinder the intended extension of serviceability of repaired concrete structure. The availability of model to predict shrinkage stress under restraint condition will be useful to assess whether repair material with particular deformation properties is resistance to cracking or not. The accuracy in the prediction will depend upon reliability of the model, input parameters, testing methods used to characterize the input parameters, etc. This paper reviews a variety of models to predict shrinkage stress in patch repair system. Effect of creep and composite action to release shrinkage stress in the patch repair system are quantified and discussed. Accuracy of the models is examined by comparing predicted and measured shrinkage stress. Simplified model to estimate shrinkage stress is proposed which requires only shrinkage property of repair material as an input parameter.

In recent years, the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to repair or strengthen existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures is increasing In order to evaluate the shear strengths of RC structures strengthened by FRP composites, it is needed to understand the shear failure modes of these structures. This paper presents a rational equation to distinguish the shear fail modes of RC structures strengthened by FRP composites using the compatibility aided truss models.

This study investigated the use of latex-modified sand concrete reinforced with sisal fibers (LMSC) as a repair material. Notably, no prior research has explored the application of LMSC for this purpose. This paper examines the interface bond strength and the type of failure between LMSC as a repair material and the normal concrete (NC) substrate utilising four different surfaces: without surface preparation as a reference (SR), hand hammer (HA), sandblasted (SB), and grooved (GR). The bond strength was measured by bi-surface shear, splitting tensile, and pull-off strength tests at 7, 28, and 90 days. Scanning electron microscopy analysis was also performed to study the microstructure of the interface between the normal concrete substrate and the latex-modified sand concrete reinforced with sisal fibers. The results of this study indicate that LMSC has bonding strength with NC, especially for HR and SB surfaces with high roughness. Therefore, substrate NC surface roughness is essential in increasing the bonding strength and adhesion. Eventually, The LMSC has the potential to repair and rehabilitate concrete structures.

Recently, people are concerned about how to maintain structure well because of safety. For effective maintenance of the structure, it should be resolved about carbonation, Durability, and Service Life issues. Solving that problem will Increase Safety of Structure. The carbonation velocity is produced an effect on carbon dioxide density of surrounding near structures, the concrete quality Therefore, This study compares the Velocity of carbonation due to maintenance of the structure. Also, this study will find Service Life of Concrete Structure through Predicting Carbonation Depth.

Carbonation is the results of the interaction of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere with the alkaline hydroxides in the concrete. in other words, of the hydrates in the cement pastes, the one which reacts with readily is Ca(OH)₂, the product of the reaction being CaCO₃ and which decreases the alkalinity of concrete. Consequently, RC structure is deteriorated due to steel corrosion in concrete. 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 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.

In this study, an investigation was made to study the chemical resistance performance of epoxy resin injection type leakage repair material used in the Korean construction market in accordance to the test method outlined in "ISO TS 16774, Part 2; Test Method for Chemical Resistance." This is a new standard document used for quality control method of injection type repair material used for leakage cracking of underground concrete structures. The results of this study can be expected to be utilized as reference data that can be used for quality improvement of the maintenance methods for future construction.
