1 Objective
The main objective of this report is to propose the structural rectification and repair works to restore
the structure. This will ensure functional and performance requirements considering the stability and
integrity of the structure as whole and its structural and non-structural elements. This is achieved by
a preliminary structural investigation of the building based on the visual observations followed by
secondary investigation with series of test included. Further, this report discusses on most rational
and effective methodologies in overcoming identified structural defects giving concerns to
serviceability & durability aspects based on BS EN 1504- Products and systems for the protection and
repair of concrete structures.
2 Introduction

3.2 Design, Detailing and Workmanship
3.2.1 Element Design
NOTE: The structural element sizes were quoted from the report ‘Rehabilitation of cracks appeared
1st floor reinforced concrete structure (Canteen floor) of factory building at Naiwala’
The following is a general comment on the element design and it does not reveal any acceptance or
non-acceptance of the structure as a whole or elements unless it has been proven and justified by the
detail analysis given in this report.
The beam and column elements are found to be fairly sized with regard to the structural geometry.
However, thickness of slab element was found to be undersized with regard to the basic structural
engineering guidelines. The reinforcement design were separately considered under detail analysis.
Further, the upper floor structural steel element sizing were found to be acceptable with respect to
basic structural engineering guideline.

The cracks observed in beams and slabs may have been due to the following reasons as could be
predicted from preliminary investigation and the information received.
Physical attack
Some shrinkage cracks were observed under this category and these are common in concrete
structures however, frequency and severity are related to quality of the material used at fresh state
along with workmanship.
The following images depicts few of the observed defects in the building.

Further Assessment and Evaluation on Concrete
The following structural elements are considered for further assessment and evaluation with required
testing.
a) Slab
b) Beam
c) Column
d) Foundation
The observed cracks of the above elements were proposed to be further investigated to differentiate
the type of cracks and their extent. Further, structural evaluation was also proposed to compare the
action forces under present loading condition with existing member capacity and then to design for
new loading condition. This necessitate some selected testing to be carried out such as strength of
concrete and reinforcement, position and diameter of reinforcement provided.

Figure 17 Reinforcements without/inadequate cover
Since some construction defects were found including poor material quality the corrosion on the
reinforcement induced by carbonation proposed to be probed. However, the chloride level
determination is not proposed since it is unlikely in the environment the building is exposed.
Since, the workmanship problems are observed while considering the age of concrete determination
of cover to reinforcement is proposed.
Hence, it is expected that deterioration of concrete elements will continue to occur in future. The
following images show the status of the existing reinforcements. However, the decision must be
supported by the carbonation test results of each structural elements.
5.1 Diagnosis
The process of assessment of the structure include but not limited to the following (EN 1504):

e) The history of the concrete structure, including environmental exposure;
f) The conditions of use, e.g., loading or other actions;
g) Requirements for future use.
The deflection of the structural members are proposed to be measured under secondary investigation.

building at Naiwala’. Further it is proposed to verify beam and slab top layer reinforcement under
secondary investigation to provide strengthening detail optimized.
5.1.5 Cracks
Cracks in constructions occur due to many different reasons. Table 3 gives an overview of the most
common cracks in concrete structures following the German concrete association (DBV 2006).

The crack mapping, determination of depth and crack movements are essential for correct diagnosis
to lead in to a suitable strengthening and repair procedure.
Crack mapping done at site previously were considered for further analysis and however the crack
depth were investigated under the preliminary investigation to determine the extent in to the
concrete. Further, it is essentially required to differentiate structural and non-structural cracks for
effective and optimum repair system and therefore further observation on top surface of the floor
were proposed under secondary investigation. The movement of the cracks need to be monitored
after repair to decide for live cracks.
The Figure 18 below shows the crack patterns in the slabs and the beams.
Structural Cracks
Some flexural cracks were observed on the beam soffit running perpendicular to the direction of
reinforcement. The shear cracks running diagonal on side surface of the beams were observed close
to columns, some are starting from bending cracks. The depth of the flexural cracks were investigated
to see the severity of damage and to decide on repair system.
The cracks on the soffit of the slab panels may be a combination of flexural and shrinkage cracks. The
flexural cracks may have occurred due to under capacity of the slab section. Further there The depths
of these selected flexural cracks were further investigated and found terminating at about 10 mm
from the surface in the cover region.
Figure 19 & Figure 20 shows the depth of cracks in beam and slab element.

Figure 20 Depth of crack more than 15 mm in beams Figure 19 Depth of crack approx. 10 mm in slabs
Non-Structural Cracks
Some shrinkage cracks running in the full depth of the beam were observed and which should have
been prevented if laser bars were provided. These may be drying shrinkage cracks which are generally
following the weaker zone of the concrete.
The shrinkage cracks on the slabs may be due to plastic shrinkage, early thermal contraction or drying
shrinkage. This could be differentiated further after the observation from the top surface of the slab
in the secondary investigation.
1. Slab Cracks depth to be checked to differentiate drying shrinkage cracks with flexural
cracking. Drying shrinkage cracks run through section depth
2. Beam crack depth to be checked for extension of cracks above reinforcement to decide if
injection repair needed.
3. Inspection to be done on top surface of the floor after tile removal to finalize treatment
options to cracks. eg. if the same crack appears on top as on the bottom, it may be a
shrinkage crack and need only swelling type treatment to prevent ingress. Also, it should
identify top surface only cracks too to provide same type of treatment.
4. Vertical cracks in beams surface due to inadequate cover (plastic shrinkage)

The depth of carbonation test is proposed to determine the reason for the corrosion of reinforcement
and cover meter test to identify whether sufficient cover is provided to protect the reinforcement on
following structural elements.
The followings were considered based on the results from preliminary and secondary investigations
and testing.
The adequacy of actual load bearing capacity of each structural element and its
development
The acceptability of usability and safety and its development
The effect to concrete due to corrosion and its deterioration
The corrosion on the reinforcement and its deterioration
For the above items it was analyzed and decided the critical conditions that will be reached and the
critical limit states. There the followings were considered for each element as appropriate prior to
decide on management strategy.
In choosing the management strategy with the above conditions the following aspects were analyzed.
1) General
a) The intended use as continuing with the canteen floor and remaining service life of the
structure
b) The performance requirement like fire resistance and water tightness on the top surface of
the floor
c) The likely service life of 10 years more from the protection and repair works
d) The required availability of the structure, permissible interruption to its use and
opportunities for additional protection, repair and monitoring work
e) The number and cost of repair cycles acceptable during the design life of the concrete
structure

Table 4 Strength of New Concrete
It is suggested that Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is to be utilized for slab topping and micro concrete
is to be used for beam widening as per manufacture’s manual. The purpose of use is mainly due to its
flow which ensures completely filling the narrow formwork and achieving full compaction with the
presence of congested reinforcement. The fluidity and segregation resistance of these concrete
ensures a high level of homogeneity, minimum concrete voids and uniform concrete strength.
The filling ability and stability of self-compacting concrete in the fresh state can be defined by four key
characteristics. Each characteristic can be addressed by one or more test methods:
A quality control procedure shall be documented and followed on the job site for acceptance of self-
compacting concrete. Use of other cement replacements shall be subject to Designer’s approval.
The derivation and interpretation of test results to a design value are to be considered in two aspects,
which are
Date : 10 August 2018 Document Title : Report on Structural Strengthening & Repair for Canteen Revision : 00
Building of MAS Linea Aqua Premises at Naiwala
Project : MAS Linea Aqua Document Name : CSEC/MAS/01 Page : 23
a) The probability of representing the test results value for the selected element type
considering the number of tests.
b) Safety factor for the material to be used as appropriate to the standards governed at the
time of construction of the building.
It is assumed that the test results represent the overall material quality of the structural elements
being based on testing done. To validate this assumption, it is importantly required to review the test
results with respect to number of tests, tested element types, location, variation in the values of the
results, etc. Further, surface deterioration and hardening with age due to chemical process undergone
with the environmental factors are considered in interpreting these test results for the use as design
values.
Those results were interpreted as stated above to derive design values for the use of analysis and
capacity evaluation of structural elements.

main beams that have spanned on to the columns. The main beam sizes are 725 mm (depth) × 300
mm (width) and 625 mm × 300 mm that have span length of approximately 7.7 m and 6.0 m,
respectively. The reinforced concrete slab thickness is about 125 mm.
7.1.4 Loading
Loads are a primary consideration in any building design because they define external forces that a
building must resist to provide reasonable performance (i.e., safety and serviceability) throughout the
structure’s useful life. The anticipated loads are influenced by a building’s intended use (occupancy
and function), configuration (size and shape), location (climate and site conditions), material selection
etc. Thus, to optimize the value (i.e., performance versus economy) of the finished product, it is
essential to apply design loads realistically.

7.2.1 Foundation
Under preliminary investigation it could not be inspected the foundations and hence it was included
under secondary investigation. Further, there was no sign of distress or settlement issues observed at
site due to a possible settlement of foundation.

7.2.2 Columns
The proposed structure consists of 400mmx300mm and 300mmx300mm columns and they are
categorized according to the dimensions.
Column loads were obtained from the 3D model developed for the building and detailed designing
was done using PROKON and excel spread sheets in accordance with BS EN 1992-1, Design of concrete
structures.
Combinations of different load cases were taken in to account as per section 6.4 of EN 1990:2002.
Basic load combination used in the assessment is presented in Table 8. The columns are assessed for
the available cross-sectional area, provided reinforcement and quality of the concrete.
Since the corrosion level in columns found to be negligible the complete area of reinforcement was
considered in the assessment. It is assumed that the both 400mmx300mm column (C1) and
300mx300mm column have 4T16 bars based on the observation done with one column exposed. Refer
ANNEXURE C – Column Design for calculations.
7.2.3 Beams
Design calculations of beams were carried out for first floor beams. Beams have been analyzed using
a 3D finite element model of the building in accordance with BS 8110-1:1997 Structural use of
concrete. Deflection, shear and moment calculations were done using excel spread sheets. The
respective loadings were used as shown in the loading diagrams annexed herewith. The beams are
checked for the cross-sectional area, concrete quality, and available cover and provided
reinforcements.
When assessing beams minimum concrete cover for reinforcement was taken as 25mm while the
concrete grade is assumed to be C15 for existing concrete structure. In the absence of test results for
strength evaluation, however the strength evaluation was included in the secondary investigation.
The existing bottom reinforcement was inspected by exposing them and used the details found for
the design. Beam 725mmx300m (B1) was found with 5T20 bars at bottom and Beam (B2)
625mmx300mm with 3T16 bars at the bottom. The grade of steel is taken as 460 N/mm2 and 0.87 is
taken as the material safety factor considering the time of the construction.
7.2.4 Slabs
The first-floor slabs of this structure are two-way spanning. The two-way slabs were analyzed and
assessed as panels for the maximum effects of factored loads. The deflections were determined for

serviceability situation. Sample calculations were carried out for selected slab panels and strips, and
design summaries of each member are annexed herewith.
The concrete grade utilized for the slabs are C20 and loads were assigned on floors as per given in the
basis of design report. CSI SAFE and excel spreadsheets were used for the calculations for respective
panels of slab.
The minimum thickness of the slab is taken as 125 mm and the reinforcement arrangement of the
slabs are taken from previous reports as, the main reinforcement of the slab laid in the spacing of
about 150 mm and it was about 250 mm for other direction n. During core sampling, it was identified
that main reinforcement are provided with T12 bars and bars in other directions are provided using
T10 steel.
No further loading will be added other than the specified floor functional loads
The minimum value for the strength of concrete obtained through test results was taken
while carrying out the analysis for each element.
7.4.1 Foundation
The details of the footing such as the thickness of the pad, reinforcement arrangements, concrete
grade and other relevant details were included under secondary investigation.
Thus, the building has not shown any signs of serious distress that could lead to settlements of the
foundation throughout its lifespan and hence it can be concluded that the foundation of the building
is good. Since no any major dead load addition would occur after the rehabilitation it can be concluded
that the building would be safe under the existing foundation with respect to the strength and
performance of the foundation.

7.4.2 Column
The total axial loads on columns were determined for the ultimate condition and used for the analysis.
The detailed designing was done using PROKON and excel spread in accordance with BS 8110-1:1997
Structural use of concrete. It is concluded that the provided reinforcement for columns are adequate
given that the grade of the concrete is C25. Refer ANNEXURE C – Column Design.
7.4.3 Beam
A Comprehensive structural evaluation was carried out. The beams are checked for moment, shear
for ultimate limit state and the deflection of the beams for the serviceability limit state.
The figures below show the bending moment and shear force diagrams obtained using the 3D model
developed for canteen building using CSI ETABS.

Figure 22 Shear Forces on Beams for Load Comb.2
The analysis results show that the existing beams are structurally insufficient to carry the new design
loads hence strengthening is required. Further the existing reinforcements must be prevented from
further corrosion where the reinforcements are exposed.
Respective calculations of beams are given in ANNEXURE D – Beam Design for modified sections.

7.4.4 Slab
The slabs are modelled in SAFE and analysis were carried out. The immediate deflections considering
all loads, elastic deflection and long term deflections were determined for cracked surface. Nonlinear
crack analysis was carried for existing slab and it reveal that for the design loads the slab possess
insufficient structural capacity and the slab thickness is insufficient as per rule of thumb. The figure
below shows the analysis results for the deflection.
Refer ANNEXURE E – Slab Design for results of slab design for proposed modification. The figure below
show the comparison of deflection and human induced vibration of slab before and after the
modification. It is evident that the deflection is vastly reduced. The satisfactory magnitudes of floor
vibration with respect to human response is 4Hz given by ISO 2631-2:1989 hence, the vibration
sensitivity is also hugely enhanced after the rectification which is very close to 4Hz as per existing
condition.

8 Structural Concrete Repair and Strengthening
8.1 General
The following principles are adopted for this building to repair and protection of damages to the
concrete and damages induced by reinforcement corrosion. These principles are considered in two
main categories as principles for concrete repair and principles for protection against reinforcement
corrosion according to BS EN 1504:

• Principle 11 – Control of anodic areas
8.1.1 Principles for repair and protection for damages of the concrete
8.1.1.1 Principle 1 -Protection against ingress
To reduce or prevent the ingress of adverse substances into the concrete Method 1.3 Coating for
protection against ingress is recommended. This method also reduce the rate of carbonation to
negligible values.

8.1.1.2 Principle 2 - Moisture Control
The approach of Principle 2 is to adjust and maintain the moisture content in the concrete within a
specified range of values to control adverse reactions. The concrete is allowed to dry and moisture
build up is prevented. Method 2.3 coating system is been proposed for moisture control in the slabs
horizontal top surface. Figure 24 shows schematically the application of this method. After the
preparation of concrete surface, concrete topping and crack filling the coating should be done.

8.1.1.3 Principle 3 - Concrete Restoration
The approach of Principle 3 is to restore the original concrete of an element of the structure to the
originally specified shape and function or to restore the concrete structure by replacing part of it.
Concrete restoration is proposed to be carried out recasting with concrete or alkaline mortar.

The standard method for strengthening concrete in the area of cracks, voids or interstices is injection
with filling materials that are able to transfer loads like epoxy resins, cement- based mortars. Injection
can be carried out using packers on top of the crack at the concrete surface or by drilling holes into
the concrete crossing the crack about in the center of the concrete, as shown in Figure 26. The
injection parameters like pressure, etc., have to be set in a way that the water within the cracks is
displaced and the cracks, voids, or interstices are filled as completely as possible with the injection
material.

8.1.2 Principle for protection against reinforcement corrosion
8.1.2.1 Preserving or restoring passivity
Principle 7- Preserving or restoring passivity is to create the chemical conditions in which the surface
of the reinforcement is maintained in or is returned to a passive state. Method 7.2 Replacing
contaminated or carbonated concrete is considered to restore the passivity. All carbonated concrete
is removed, the reinforcement is cleaned, and the breakout area is filled with concrete or alkaline
mortar.
Since the depth of carbonation is high for beams in first and second floor as per test results , not all
the carbonated concrete behind the reinforcement needs to be removed, but within a distance of 10
mm when the steel diameter ds is <16 mm or 15 mm, when ds is thicker than 16 mm.

the actual draft of the German guideline for maintenance of concrete structures (RL- SiB 2013).

8.1.2.2 Control of anodic areas
Under controlling of anodic areas Method 11.1 Active coating of the reinforcement is adopted since
existing reinforcement is already corroded and may not be fully covered by coating during the
rectification process. At first the reinforcement needs to be uncovered so far that sufficient space is
available around the rebar to apply an active coating. Before coating the surface of the rebar must be
cleaned carefully from rust and loose particles. This method is adopted to enhance the durability after
repair and to reduce the risk from adopted repair methods.
Based on the above principles and methods the structural elements are suggested to be repaired. The
repair mechanism are provided in detail specific to each element in the following section. The specific
requirements, e.g., roughness, adhesion strength, or moisture content, are usually given in the specific
data sheet of the repair material that will be used for the concrete repair.

8.2 Surface Preparation
The preparation of the concrete surface is one of the most important steps in making a successful
concrete repair. The primary goal of the surface preparation is a good and durable bond between the
repair material and the substrate. As a rule of thumb, the substrate has to be sound, clean, rough
textured, and dry after the surface preparation. Depending on the boundary conditions, the following
steps are done to prepare the surface:
In order to achieve a sufficient surface preparation, various methods can be used. Table 11 Overview
of selected and most commonly used methods for surface preparation according to RL-SIB (2001) gives
an overview of selected and most commonly used methods.

It is strongly recommended to provide adequate wind bracing for the roof structure. The
bracing arrangement need to be continued for the walls at both sides of the building. This
will ensure adequate performance of the steel roof structure especially under lateral loads
such as wind.

8.4 Structural Strengthening
Structural strengthening needs very careful consideration by engineers experienced in the repair
process.
Weakening at the point of repair (e.g. due to loss of concrete section in a compression member,
or loss in cross-section of reinforcing bar due to corrosion) can be calculated through a standard
structural appraisal to give the residual structural capacity. Therefore, supporting system has to
be adopted to temporarily hold the slabs while substantially limiting the transferred load to the
beams.
Weakening post-repair is less obvious and the following factors must be considered:
o The physical and structural properties of the repair products and systems to be used at
the applicable service temperatures, in particular the elastic modulus, creep and
shrinkage of the materials. Where the repair is to take compressive loads, consider the
effects of creep at elevated service temperatures.
o 'Locked-out stress' occurs where tensioned reinforcement is broken out and repaired,
thereby losing its tensioned state. This weakening effect can only be reduced by removing
load from the structure prior to repair (e.g. propping and load restrictions) and/or
minimising the area of concrete to be broken out, even if new bar is added to replace the
bar sectional area lost due to corrosion. Even then it is doubtful that the repaired area will
fully adopt the initial structural capacity of the undamaged structure.
o Maximum service temperature of structural repair materials. Some organic material, such
as epoxy resin and other adhesives, may have a glass transition temperature of less than
60°C, meaning that they are unsuitable for structural use if service temperatures exceed
this value. (The 'glass transition temperature' of a polymer is the approximate
temperature at which it changes from a relatively stiff and brittle material to a viscous
material)
Strengthening may be required where structures are assessed to be below their original structural
capacity or require an increase in capacity due to a change in use or change in applicable standards.
Methods include:
It must be noted that the other structural elements which have not been covered in the analysis must
be inspected for any structural or serviceability issues and the same repair and rectification treatments
must be carried out with prior consultation and approval from the engineer.

NOTE:
Consideration shall be given to the chemical, electrochemical and physical condition of the substrate
and any contaminants, the ability of the structure to accept loading, movement and vibration during
protection and repair, ambient conditions, and the characteristic of the materials contained in the
structure and those of the protection and repair products and systems:
Date : 10 August 2018 Document Title : Report on Structural Strengthening & Repair for Canteen Revision : 00
Building of MAS Linea Aqua Premises at Naiwala

The achievement of the required condition of the substrate regarding cleanliness,
roughness, micro cracking, cracking, tensile and compressive strength, chloride or other
contaminant and their penetration, depth of carbonation, moisture content, temperature
and degree of corrosion of reinforcement.
The achievement of the compatibility of the original concrete and reinforcement with the
protection or repair products and systems and compatibility between any different products
and systems, including avoiding the risk of creating conditions which may cause corrosion.
The achievement of the specified properties of products and systems when applied and in
their hardened condition regarding the fulfilment of their purpose for protection and repair
of the structure.
The achievement of the required storage and application conditions regarding ambient
temperature, humidity and dew point, wind force and precipitation and any temporary
protection which is needed.
Some parts of the protected or repaired concrete structure may have an expected service life which
is short compared with that of the rest of the concrete structure. Familiar examples are surface
coatings, sealants, and weather proofing materials. If the integrity of the protection or repair depends
on such parts, it is essential that they be regularly inspected, tested and renewed if necessary.
It is also states that “a structure management strategy is not chosen on technical grounds alone, but
also on economic, functional, environmental and other factors, and most importantly the owner’s
requirements for the structure.”
A maintenance management system should also be implemented to ensure that the required
maintenance is carried out properly, because a “correct monitoring and maintenance of the
protection and repair works will result in a longer service life for both the works and the structure.”
This features the repair only at the point when the actual status of the structures reaches the
limit state, and not before. After reaching the desired level of structural status at the time
being, the process begins again.

The preventive maintenance plan features the repair of the structure without any visible
damages, e.g., renewal of a surface protection system after 5 or 10 years even though the
surface protection system might still fulfil its requirements.
