In Situ Repair of Deteriorated Concrete in Hydraulic Structures: A Field Study

Abstract

This report presents the results of a laboratory program directed toward developing and optimizing procedures for pressure injection repairs to be used in the field. Once developed, the procedures were evaluated in a small- scale field test at Lock and Dam 20 on the Mississippi River, Canton, MO. In general, the laboratory and field tests results demonstrate that pressure injection repair techniques can restore the integrity of cracked concrete hydraulic structures.
