Concrete and Rock Tests, Major Rehabilitation and Compliance, Lockport Lock, Illinois Waterway, Chicago District
Abstract
A crack survey, drilling, field and laboratory testing of concrete, and laboratory testing of foundation rock were carried out as part of a major rehabilitation and compliance program at Lockport Lock. The work was performed for purposes of determining if significant structural cracks exist at the lock and the extent and cause of concrete deterioration. Selected physical properties of the concrete and foundation rock were determined to verify previous properties. A significant crack exists in the land lock wall. The crack increased in width during an instrumentation monitoring study performed subsequent to the major rehabilitation and compliance studies. Movement of one vertical monolith joint was monitored on the riverside lower approach wall.
