Concrete repair and reinforcement is a complex process, presenting unique challenges very different from those experience in the field of construction. The purpose of this study is to analyze the pattern and mechanism of deteriorations in irrigation and drainage structure. Damage and deteriorated structures are classified with several types. This provides a survey of crack repair methods, including a summary of the procedures that are being used. It is systematically evaluated with the disintegration on irrigation & drainage structure; drainage sluice gate, pumping station, drainage pumping station. Following the evaluation of the irrigation & drainage structure, a suitable repair and reinforcing procedure can be selected based on this report

To investigate how the fabrication and repair of socket welded joints could be used to enhance fatigue resistance under vibration condition, experimental test data of installation conditions that potentially influence fatigue strength were analyzed with the S-N curve. It was found that the decreasing fatigue strength of stainless steel socket welded joints was attributed to the effect of high heat input of welding process. The effect of welding method, slip-on gap and radial-gap conditions on fatigue strength was insignificant. The test data of repair technique application, 2 × 1 leg length and of socket weld overlay, clearly showed higher fatigue strength but there was a limitation for higher stress region because of the weld toe crack.

An analytical study was conducted to characterize the fatigue crack growth behavior of pre-cracked aluminum plates repaired with asymmetric bonded composite patch. For single-sided repairs, due to the asymmetry and the presence of out-of$.$plane bending, crack front shape would become skewed curvilinear started from a uniform through-crack profile, as observed from Previous studies. Therefore, for the accurate investigation of fatigue behavior, it is necessary to predict the actual crack front evolution and take it into consideration in the analysis. In this study, the fatigue analysis of single-sided repairs considering crack front shape development was conducted by implementing three-dimensional successive finite element method coupled with linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) concept, which enables the growing crack front to be directly traced and modeled in a step by step way. Through conducting present analysis technique, crack path of the patched plate as well as the fatigue life was evaluated with sufficient accuracy. The analytical predictions of both the crack front shape evolution and the fatigue life were in good agreement with the experimental observations.

Recently, damage of pavement represented by crack is depened by the increase of traffic demand up to ten million and wight, and interest about the efficient management of pavement is being increased gradually according to the growth of maintenance expense of road surface. In this study, the possibility of application for acquisition of crack information was tested by appling DCRP and digital image processing technique and measuring crack on road surface precisely. Based on this, objective and efficient road surface measurement was planned and done. Measuring crack width, acquire result of comparative high accuracy. So, it is considered that it can be utilized as plan draft data for deterioration estimation and repair reinforcement work of pavement.

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.

In steel bridges fatigue cracks are sometimes repaired by placing drilled holes at the crack tips. From the meaning that the drilled holes stop the propagation of cracks, they are called stop-holes. Since stop-holes are regarded as an emergency measure to delay crack propagation, usually some substantial repair follows. However, if the stress at the stop-holes is below their fatigue limit, fatigue cracks would not be expected to occur. The purpose of this study is to present the conditions under which stop-holes prevent the reinitiation of fatigue cracks. The fatigue limit of stop-holes and the equations necessary to estimate the maximum stress on the circumference of the stop-holes are provided.

The priority of repair areas are chosen with the probability distribution of 0.3mm wide crack and carbonation induced corrosion. Data is analyzed and evaluated based on the 28 section of Precise Inspection for Safety and Diagnosis (PISD) in seoul. As the crack is distributed in log-normal, the carbonation and cover are in normal distribution. To have rational in repair sections among 503 sheets of underground structure, it is adopted the reliability index as well as the environment factors: strength, sonic speed, $CO_2$ concentration, corrosion, and content of chloride.

In this study, the three-dimensional finite element method is used to determine the stress intensity factor in Mode I and Mixed mode of a centered crack in an aluminum specimen repaired by a composite patch using contour integral. Various mesh densities were used to achieve convergence of the results. The effect of adhesive joint thickness, patch thickness, patch-specimen interface and layer sequence on the SIF was highlighted. The results obtained show that the patch-specimen contact surface is the best indicator of the deceleration of crack propagation, and hence of SIF reduction. Thus, the reduction in rigidity of the patch especially at adhesive layer-patch interface, allows the lowering of shear and normal stresses in the adhesive joint. The choice of the orientation of the adhesive layer-patch contact is important in the evolution of the shear and peel stresses. The patch will be more beneficial and effective while using the cross-layer on the contact surface.

This study is about the method to control the quality of material used to repair leakage and crack of concrete structure and suggests the "Temperature Stability Test Method" as a follow-up study. In the result of performance evaluation for 45 samples of 15 types in 5 series, the temperature stability test showed different material changes including rolling down, volume change, and color change as they are frozen and melt repeatedly in the somewhat extreme conditions at low($-20^{\circ}C$) and high($60^{\circ}C$) temperatures, where 13 samples (approx. 29%) and 32 samples (approx. 71%) showed leakage, respectively, in the permeability test to evaluate leakage. This result shows the enough importance of setting the quality control criteria of leakage repair material currently used to maintain concrete structures considering the temperature conditions, and proves the applicability of the Temperature Stability Test Method as a standard test method to ensure long-term durability of concrete structure.
