Spillway damage
Chemical:
Water contains acids and alkali and
other compound in dissolved form, acts
over the material
-which is known as chemical
weathering.
2. Movement of formwork.
3. Vibrations
5. Setting shrinkage.
6. Premature removal of forms.
7. Drying shrinkage
8. Temperature stresses
This may be due to
(i)Difference in temperature
between the inside and outside of the
building.
(ii)Variation in internal temperature
of the building structure.
9. Absorption of moisture by concrete
10. Corrosion of reinforcement
This could be caused by
(i)Entry of moisture through cracks
or pores
(ii)Electrolytic action
11. Aggressive action of chemical
12. Weathering action
13. Action of shockwaves
14. Erosion
15. Weathering action
16. Action of shockwaves
17. Erosion
18. Poor design details at
(i) Re- entrant corners
(ii) Changes in cross section
(iii)Rigid joint precast elements
(iv)Deflections
Poor design details leads to
1. Leakage through joints
2. Inadequate drainage
3. Inefficient drainage slope
4. Unanticipated shear stresses in piers, column
and abutments etc..,
5. Incompatibility of materials of sections.
6. Neglect in design
7. Errors in design
8. Errors in earlier repairs
9. Overloading
10. External influences such as(a) Earthquake
(b) Wind(c) Fire(e) Cyclone(f) Flash floors etc..,
Need for Quality Assurance
•All involved with the construction and use of a concrete structure are
concerned that the quality is necessary to give good performance and
appearance throughout its intended life.
•The material producer is influenced by the quality of work in his future sales.
•The building contractor also relies on it to promote his organization in
procuring future contracts, but his task is often considerably complicated by
the problems of time scheduling and costs.
• Responsibilities of personnel
• Coordinating personnel
• Acceptance/rejection criteria
• Inspection program
• Resolution of disputed/difficulties
