Concrete Maintenance

Product Number: 41212-677-SG

Author: Fred Goodwin, Frank Apicella

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Concrete is one of the most durable construction materials available, but all too frequently we ignore its maintenance. Many of the techniques called "coating", "protection", and corrosion mitigation are, maintenance of concrete. The life span of concrete structures can be significantly extended by pro-actively addressing deterioration and durability issues through keeping water and other deleterious materials out of concrete after it has properly cured

Concrete Moisture & Testing: It’s All About Keeping Your Floors Above Water!

Product Number: 41214-865-SG

Author: Roland A. Vierra

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Moisture problems are prevalent all over North America, almost independent of climate. With an understanding of moisture in concrete and the various test methods available to quantify that moisture, simple strategies to mitigate moisture problems can be employed. But a strategy cannot be employed if the moisture problem is never quantified. This presentation identifies the various types of moisture issues present day in and day out and outlines the methods available to discover hidden moisture conditions.

Concrete Repair: The Ultimate Sustainability

Product Number: 41211-611-SG

Author: Fred Goodwin

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Concrete repair is a neglected primary example of sustainable construction and green building practices. Sustainability in construction is a topic of increasing importance. Concrete has high embodied energy and much documentation exists about the sustainable nature of concrete in new construction. Concrete maintenance, protection, and repair are the ultimate acts of sustainability in construction because they preserve this embodied energy. Rating systems should be adopted to better capture the sustainable nature of concrete preservation

Concrete Surface Preparation, Using UHP Water Jets

Product Number: 41207-381-SG

Author: Todd A. Shawver

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

This paper documents the removal of floor coatings from concrete surfaces utilizing UHP water jet tools. Traditional methods, including shot blasting and grinding, meet the required production rates, but may fail to remove all of the invisible contaminants. They can also introduce dust into the environment.

Defining Osmotic Blisters and Causes in Resinous Floor Coatings

Product Number: 41215-898-SG

Author: Marcus Gray

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Understanding the key components that cause osmotic blisters is essential to not only applying the proper concrete floor coating, but potentially walking away from a possible high-risk floor. Resinous floor coatings are organic coatings that have limitations. Coating failures are typically linked to moisture in the concrete slab. This can be a problem for resinous floor coatings that aren't moisture tolerant.

Demonstration of Electro-Osmotic Pulse (EOP) Technology to Mitigate Alkali-Silica Reaction in Concrete Pavement

Product Number: 51324-21198-SG

Author: Vincent F. Hock; Michael K. McInerney; J. Chad Pierce; Heather E. Creason

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Many private-sector, federal government, and Department of Defense (DoD) facilities experience the problem of concrete deteriorating via alkali-silica reaction (ASR). ASR is a form of concrete corrosion that slowly deteriorates concrete from the inside by forming highly expansive gels that cause cracking and swelling of the concrete matrix. This paper summarizes the results of a project that evaluated Electro-Osmotic Pulse (EOP) technology to mitigate ASR in an area of the visitor’s ramp at Campbell Army Airfield. An EOP system was designed, installed, and monitored in a concrete pavement section affected by ASR. In addition to installing EOP technology, concrete moisture monitoring probes were installed at selected locations. The performance of the EOP system was evaluated by recording temperature and moisture levels inside the concrete for a period of nine months. The ability of the EOP system to mitigate ASR is inconclusive. Although there are indications that moisture is being removed from the concrete pavement, it is not clear that the concrete’s internal relative humidity has been reduced below 80%, the moisture reduction value that ensures ASR will not occur. A long-term approach for performance monitoring must be completed before the technology can be recommended.

Design Consideration for Lining Concrete Sludge Mixing and Storage Tanks in Wastewater Treatment Plants: Issues That Do Not Meet the Eye

Product Number: 41212-692-SG

Author: R. A. Nixon

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Concrete sludge mixing and storage tanks in wastewater treatment plants can be exposed to corrosive environments. Protective linings are the best solution to this problem. But there are a number of design considerations based on this author’s experience that are not readily obvious at the outset.
