The United States Bureau of Reclamation, 2015



Concrete repair industry experts estimate that $18 billion to $21 billion are spent every year for concrete repairs in the U.S. alone. However, at least $1.2 billion the approximately $20 billion total represent the estimated cost for annual repairs to water storage, hydroelectric, and management facilities and related structures. Clearly, there is a need for sound concrete repair and maintenance practices. Part I of this Guide discusses Reclamation's methodology for concrete maintenance and repair and is designed to serve as a supplement for the “Standard Specifications for Repair of Concrete, M-47,” in Part II. Part I addresses the more common causes of damage to Reclamation concrete, including recommendations for the types of repair methods and materials most likely to be successful in repairing concrete damage resulting from those causes. Finally, the Guide contains a detailed description of the uses, limitations, materials, and procedures of each of the standard repair methods/materials included in the “Standard Specifications for Repair of Concrete, M-47.”
