Abstract
This paper reports results of a study conducted to assess the performance of commonly utilized repair systems when exposed to some selected exposure conditions, such as marine, belowground, fire, acid, and sulfur fumes. The performance of the selected repair systems was assessed by exposing large-sized repaired concrete specimens to the selected exposure conditions in addition to thermal variations. After the completion of the exposure, the repaired specimens were visually examined for damage to the surface coating and presence of rust stains, salt scaling, etc. The bond of the coating with the substrate was evaluated and then the specimens were crushed to retrieve reinforcing steel bars that were examined for the extent of corrosion, if any. The data developed in this study were utilized to recommend repair systems suitable for the selected exposure conditions.
