Finite Element Analysis of Patch Repair in a Concrete Flat Slab

Finite Element Analysis of Patch Repair in a Concrete Flat Slab
This paper presents information on the factors that influence the performance of patch repair in concrete flat slabs, namely the in-service exposure conditions, compatibility requirements and construction practices. The significance of property mismatch between the repair material and the existing reinforced concrete structure is illustrated through an analytical study that determines the performance of a patch repair. It is concluded that analytical methods could be an effective tool in the proper selection of repair material and techniques
