Some Approaches to the Repair of Cracks in the Concrete of Hydraulic Structures

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

Approaches to repairing cracks in the concrete of hydraulic structures are considered. Main types of cracks are identified. The technical solutions and injection materials used for crack repair are analyzed. Typical technical solutions for repairing cracks, including those with signs of corrosion of concrete and reinforcement are proposed. A method for selecting such technical solutions is described.
