`

`INTERNATIONAL CONCRETE REPAIR INSTITUTE
`
`The International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) was formed in 1988 as the Interna-
`tional Association of Concrete Repair Specialists, by a group of pioneers who raised con-
`cerns over the proliferation of unqualified contractors entering the industry and the lack of
`standards and guidelines for concrete repair.
`
`Since that time, ICRI has grown into a 2000-member strong international association de-
`voted solely to concrete repair and restoration.
`
`ICRI Mission Statement:
`THE MISSION OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONCRETE REPAIR INSTITUTE IS TO BE A
`LEADING RESOURCE FOR EDUCATION AND INFORMATION TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY
`OF REPAIR, RESTORATION, AND PROTECTION OF CONCRETE AND OTHER STRUC-
`TURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH CONSENSUS CRITERIA.
`
`The philosophy of the group is that if the quality of work is improved, and purchasers of re-
`pair services feel that they are obtaining a durable product, the demand for their products
`and services will increase and the image of the concrete repair industry will be elevated.
`From its inception, the organization has strived on include the interests of contractors,
`engineers, and manufacturers in every aspect of its operations. The object is to bring
`together those who are truly interested in improving the concrete repair industry and use
`their concerted efforts to bring about meaningful change. Every attempt is made to ensure
`equitable representation for all in the organization's leadership, committee representation
`and the dissemination of technical expertise.
`
`Obviously focussed in the North American market, ICRI is nevertheless well known in-
`ternationally especially in Latin America, Middle East, South East Asia and Pacific. This
`association like Sika strives to improve the quality of the repair works in the refurbishment
`business.

`
`Strengthening the Structure of St. Nicholas Church
`Cracow, Poland
`
`St. Nicholas Church, located in Krakow (Cracow), Poland, is
`one of the oldest monuments in Cracow. The oldest men-
`tion of the church dates back to 1229. It was designated as
`a parish church in 1327. After much redesign and rebuilding
`over the centuries, the church is currently classified as a
`baroque and neo-baroque three-nave, three-bay basilica.
`
`The current construction was built on an already-existing
`foundation from the structure destroyed in the past. The
`stones used for the foundation and the limestone rock on
`which the church is located were subjected to washout
`and karst phenomenon over the centuries, leaving severe
`degradation. Acid water washout, as well as vibrations
`caused by increasing traffic—especially on the train track
`located just behind the church—were other causes of the
`severe deterioration of the foundation. This all led to the
`front wall deviating from vertical and falling away from
`the structural walls.
`
`Cracking was seen in the chancel vaults, main nave, and
`the aisles, which resulted from a lack of rigid support, re-
`ceiving the strutting forces through the walls. The original
`timber framing was not enough to stabilize the structure,
`so steel framing and braces were installed throughout
`the attic of the church, hidden to normal visitors. This
`new reinforcement allowed even transfer of the strutting
`forces through the walls, and movement of the church was
`decreased significantly. After the repairs were completed,
`the building was reopened to the public in 2012.

`
`Maypo Office and Laboratory Building Seismic Upgrade
`Mexico City, Mexico
`
`The fourstory office and laboratory building was con-
`structed in the early 1980s. Progress in the investigation
`of soil characteristics in Mexico City and state-of-the-art
`earthquake engineering have generated new design stan-
`dards and construction methods that have improved the
`level of seismic safety of new buildings. However, existing
`buildings constructed with less stringent design standards
`present a challenge. Worried about the safety of their
`building, Maypo initiated a structural assessment and
`seismic upgrade for the property.
`Because original building design information did not exist,
`diagnostic studies were performed, including planimetry
`and altimetry surveys to estimate the magnitude of dif-
`ferential settlements, bibliographic research of soil me-
`chanics in the area, concrete excavation for steel reinforce-
`ment assessment, extraction of concrete cores, visual
`inspection, and three-dimensional computer modeling for
`a dynamic structural analysis. The studies revealed that
`the nonstructural masonry walls interfered with the free
`deformation of the main structure; the concrete slabs ex-
`hibited cracking, deflections, and excessive vibration; and
`the beams exhibited shear cracking at their ends. Further-
`more, the computer model revealed that the columns were
`overloaded.
`To structurally strengthen and seismically upgrade the
`building, new steel beams were retrofitted to stiffen the
`concrete slabs and surface flatness was recovered by in-
`stalling a reinforced concrete overlay. Beam cracking was
`epoxy-injected to restore structural stiffness and improve
`behavior. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabric
`was installed at beams to increase shear strength and at
`columns to increase strength and ductility.

`
`Evans Hall Restoration — 12 Years Later
`Berkeley, California
`
`Evans Hall, at the University of California in Berkeley, is a
`10-story building that in 1999, after almost 30 years in use
`with little maintenance done, safety concerns were raised
`as a result of pieces of concrete falling from the building’s
`facade. Poor initial concrete placement with minimal cover-
`age of reinforcing steel, combined with exposure to CO²
`and moist salty air from nearby San Francisco Bay, led to
`rapidly accelerated corrosion of the building’s reinforcing
`bars. Because the building sits on a major seismic fault line,
`the repairs were needed to maintain the structural integ-
`rity of the building. The initial work on the building was di-
`vided into two phases. In Phase I, hundreds of spall repairs
`were made to the structure; then, the entire building was
`re-leveled with polymer-modified mortar with a spray-ap-
`plied method. Phase II consisted of applying a high-perfor-
`mance, anti-carbonation, crack-bridging, elastomeric wall-
`coating system for waterproofing and corrosion protection,
`as well as a much-needed aesthetic upgrade.
`
`Twelve years later, all of the spall repairs are performing
`well and there are no signs of new spalls occurring. Evans
`Hall is expected to last another 41 or more years without
`major repair or restoration. There are no signs of cracks or
`rust stains on the building, and the custom colors chosen
`show no signs of deterioration. This coating system seems
`to have made a significant impact on the building’s ability
`to stay watertight and resist corrosion, which should pre-
`vent new corrosion from occurring.

`Rehabilitation of the Missouri/Ohio Historic Bridge
`Mile Marker 39.0 of the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail
`
`More than a century ago, Henry Flagler had the desire and
`vision to connect the East Coast railroad network to Key
`West. The project started in 1905 and was completed in
`1912. The Missouri/Ohio Historic Bridge is one of the many
`railroad bridges that were constructed as part of this enor-
`mous construction effort.
`
`While the railroad initially led to boom years, numerous
`external factors led to the decline of the railroad economy.
`The storm of the century (1935) struck the Florida Keys
`and washed away much of the railroad network. The bridge
`survived, but the railroad could not afford to rebuild the
`entire network. The concrete bridges, such as the Missouri/
`Ohio Historic Bridge, were then widened by placing steel
`beams across them and encasing them with concrete, open-
`ing them to vehicular traffic. In the late 1990s, a new bridge
`was built to replace the 90-year-old Missouri/Ohio Historic
`Bridge.
`
`The Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail (FKOHT) decided
`to restore this bridge and make it part of the planned 60
`mile (96.5 km) long trail. The steel columns had severely
`corroded and the structure became a safety concern. Cracks
`and spalls had to be repaired to restore the structure. Car-
`bon fiber-reinforced polymer rods were embedded in the
`structure to make it safe. This project represents the ideal
`example of sustainability in the construction industry—a
`century-old structure is repurposed after 30 years and, 70
`years later, is remodeled once again to serve a new purpose
`and will be preserved for many more years to come.

`Camp Verde Wastewater Treatment Plant Repair
`Camp Verde, Arizona
`
`A newly constructed wastewater treatment facility in
`Camp Verde, AZ, was identified as being under designed
`when large cracks formed on two of the concrete walls
`during its initial water test. The 128 x 92.5 ft (39 x 28 m)
`water treatment tank is a reinforced concrete wall and slab
`system comprised of 10 individual cells. The concrete is re-
`inforced with steel reinforcement. The walls are 18 ft
`(5.5 m) tall and some reach an unsupported length of over
`90 ft (27.4 m). The large spans result in high bending forces,
`which must be developed without allowing cracking.
`
`Evaluations of the structure determined that filling the
`tank would overload the structural walls due to insufficient
`horizontal reinforcement at the wall intersections. A con-
`ventional repair method had been previously developed
`using reinforced concrete bolsters at all of the intersecting
`walls and at the wall-to-slab connections. This option was
`extremely costly and would have resulted in a substantial
`reduction to the tank’s capacity.
`A new design build team was tasked with developing an
`alternate strengthening solution that considered the
`strength requirements associated with various deficiencies,
`load conditions, and future operations while maintaining
`the desired volume capacity of the tank, all with minimal
`impact to the construction schedule.
`After weeks of evaluation and design work, the strength-
`ening project was completed in approximately 2 months. At
`several junctures, the project was nearly scrapped, and if
`not for the creative curtailing of the carbon fiber-reinforced
`polymer and the unique application of bolts and steel
`plates, combined with the appropriate use of traditional
`concrete dowels, this project would not have succeeded.

`Rehabilitation of the Pumarejo Bridge
`Colombia, South America
`
`The Pumarejo Bridge is the largest bridge in Colombia,
`South America. Constructed 35 years ago to allow devel-
`opment to the northern region and to link Barranquilla City
`with the eastern shore of the Magdalena River, it was con-
`sidered one of the concrete marvels in the country in 2006
`by the Colombian Ready Mixed Concrete Association.
`
`Located at a distance of 12.4 miles (20 km) from the Carib-
`bean Sea, the Pumarejo Bridge has withstood a harsh envi-
`ronment of marine breeze full of chlorides, which has dete-
`riorated the concrete surface little by little. In addition, the
`strong stream of the Magdalena River (the largest in the
`country) has eroded the concrete surface of the columns
`placed in the water.
`
`The damages comprised spalled concrete in longitudinal
`beams, cap beams, and columns due to the corrosion pro-
`cess inside the structure and a loss of coarse aggregates in
`the concrete of the columns placed in the water due to the
`stream of the river.
`
`The rehabilitation procedure included the with drawal of
`spalled concretes; the cleaning and protection of the steel
`reinforcement bars; the addition of repair mortars; steel
`jacketing of columns; the addition of impregnation corro-
`sion inhibitors; and the application of a protective coating
`over a surface of 538,196 square feet (50,000 square me-
`ters). The total investment was $3 million (U.S.).

`Sunshine Skyway Bridge Trestle Span Repairs
`Tampa Bay, Florida
`
`The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is one of the most recognized
`structures in the United States. With its signature bright
`yellow stay cables, the bridge resembles a sailboat, with
`its towers holding up the triangular sails across Tampa
`Bay. At the time of construction, it was the world’s lon-
`gest bridge, having a cable-stay main span with an overall
`length of 5-1/2 miles (8.8 km). The main span is 1200 ft
`(366 m) and the vertical clearance is over 190 ft (58 m).
`
`Shear cracking was observed during routine inspections of
`the trestle span girders. The inspection history indicated
`that the number of cracked beams had increased over
`time. In addition to the deficient AASHTO girders, cracks
`were observed in numerous pier caps. In some cases, these
`cracks were very large and exhibited visible signs of water
`penetration and damage. The shear cracks in the AASHTO
`girders and the pile caps were epoxy injected. All spalls
`were patched using a cementitious repair mortar. All un-
`even surfaces were filled in with a leveling mortar and all
`bugholes and smaller cavities were repaired using an epoxy
`paste. In addition, a clear protective sealer was applied to
`protect the concrete further from moisture and chloride
`intrusion.
`
`The deficient girders also needed to be structurally
`strengthened to carry additional loads. The use of a carbon
`fiber system was chosen to structurally repair the girders.
`By planning out the construction sequence and using a well
`trained work force that had previous experience working
`with CFRP materials, the job was completed one month
`ahead of schedule.

`The Rose Bowl Stadium Restoration
`Pasadena, California
`
`When one thinks of iconic sporting venues in the U.S.,
`there are few that are larger or more historic than the Rose
`Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, CA. Originally built in 1922, the
`original capacity for the stadium was 57,000 people. In
`1930, the wood bleachers were replaced with cast-in-place
`reinforced concrete bleachers with wooden benches. Ad-
`ditional rows at the back of the seating bowl were added
`increasing the capacity up to 80,000 people. Eventually,
`the total capacity of the stadium was increased to over
`100,000 people, but no major repairs were ever made to
`the concrete structure of the stadium itself.
`
`Over years of use and wear and tear, there were a few is-
`sues with the concrete deterioration that needed to be
`addressed. The repair work, which began in March of 1998,
`selected a system approach to repair both the damage
`of the entire concrete surface and the spalls and cracks
`caused by the corrosion of the steel reinforcing in the
`concrete risers and treads. 2008 marks the 10-year anni-
`versary of the Rose Bowl Stadium concrete repair project.
`Over that time, the stadium has continued to be a highly
`visible, greatly used sports arena hosting major sporting
`events such as the 1999 women’s FIFA World Cup final and
`the 2002 and 2006 NCAA BCS college football champion-
`ship games.
`
`After 10 years of use, the repairs that were made to the
`stadium are still standing up to the test of time and other
`than dirt pick up, still look as good today as they did when
`they were made.

`
`Concrete Restoration of three Underground Water
`Storage Tanks
`Boston, Massachusetts
`
`The water storage tanks, with an approximate capacity of
`225,000 galons (851,718l) each, were constructed in the
`mid-1980s. They are located three stories below-grade
`beneath a ten-story building in Boston. The tanks consist
`of concrete walls, base slab, and mid-height level concrete
`beam grids. Historically, the tanks had been used to store
`clean water for use by the building’s mechanical air condi-
`tioning equipment. Each tank was leaking thousands of gal-
`lons every day, causing concern about the possible under-
`mining of the structure.
`Examination of the tanks revealed delamination of a crys-
`talline parge coat applied during an earlier repair attempt.
`The coating was flaking off the surface of the concrete. Re-
`flective cracking through the waterproof coating was wide-
`spread. Exposed wire mesh reinforcement was observed at
`column and beam locations. There was widespread cracking
`of the surface, with multiple spalls and delaminated con-
`crete at structural steel wide-flange columns. A cementi-
`tious paste appeared to have leached from the bottom of
`several wall cracks. Due to the amount of surface loss to
`the concrete, it was decided to apply resurfacing mortar to
`the entire surface of the tank interior, overlaid with a fiber-
`glass reinforced epoxy coating.
`Access limitations, including “confined access” require-
`ments, presented logistical and manpower issues. A variety
`of different products required a contractor experienced
`with several different waterproofing techniques. The
`success of the project has been highlighted by no loss of
`water and was only achievable by having a team approach
`between the engineer, owner, and the contractor.

`Bok Tower Restoration
`Lake Wales, Florida
`
`Bok Tower was constructed between 1927 and 1929 and
`houses a 60-bell carillon (set of tuned bells). The tower is
`205 ft (62 m) tall, has seven floors, and is constructed of
`a masonry-encased steel frame. On August 21, 1972, Bok
`Tower was listed as a National Historic Landmark and with
`the National Register of Historic Places.
`
`Cracks developed in the coquina brick, largely in the areas
`of the spandrel beams. Highly distressed areas showed
`signs of bowing or displacement from the beam and ma-
`sonry backup. In some cases the coquina brick had failed
`completely, creating a dangerous condition.
`
`Corrosion of horizontal structural steel members caused
`the coquina brick and underlying masonry to separate from
`the tower. The primary areas of concern for corrosion were
`the top plate on the horizontal beams and the intersec-
`tion between the columns and beams. A secondary but
`still important consideration was the full perimeter of the
`spandrel beams including the variable corrosion condition
`of the web and exposed flanges.
`
`To address the corrosion and preserve the appearance of
`this historic landmark, the coquina brick was stripped and
`rebuilt around the spandrel beams and an impressed cur-
`rent cathodic protection system was installed using a dis-
`crete anode system and advanced network management
`and cont
