ABSTRACT

This paper presents a case study of repair and strengthening work carried out recently on a defective reinforced concrete structure. The work consisted mainly of providing a silica-fume-blended-cement shotcrete jacketing system around the structure. A discussion of the investigations carried out to assess the cause (s) of deterioration, and the repair alternatives are presented. The study provides guidelines to help those who are involved in the assessment and repair of similar deteriorated structures.
