MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF CONCRETE AND MASONRY STRUCTURES

THIS STUDY WAS MADE FOR THE PURPOSE OF REVIEWING THE MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES USED IN THE REPAIR AND PROTECTION OF CONCRETE AND/OR MASONRY STRUCTURES. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY REVIEWING LITERATURE AND BY THE STUDY OF DATA ACCUMULATED THROUGH A QUESTIONNAIRE WHICH DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THE DATA ACCUMULATED IS PRESENTED IN A FORM WHICH LISTS THE PERFORMANCE OF MATERIALS UNDER THE SPECIFIC JOB HEADINGS OF CONCRETE AND/OR MASONRY CRACK SEALANTS, CONCRETE JOINT SEALANTS, CONCRETE AND/OR MASONRY SURFACING MATERIALS, CONCRETE BINDER TYPE REPAIR MATERIALS, CONCRETE BONDING MATERIALS, CONCRETE GROUTING MATERIALS, CONCRETE DECORATIVE MATERIALS, MATERIALS FOR WEATHER PROTECTION, AND CONCRETE CURING AGENTS. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT SUCH CONFUSION EXISTS AS TO WHAT ARE THE BETTER MATERIALS FOR SPECIFIC JOB APPLICATIONS AND THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE APPLICATION TECHNIQUES. BASIC TYPES OF MATERIALS ARE SHOWN TO BE BEST FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF JOBS. /AUTHOR/
