Chapter 7Isolated Partial Depth Concrete Repair From… Maintenance Technical Advisory Guide (MTAG)
Partial-Depth Repairs 3-4.2
Learning Objectives • List benefits of partial-depth repairs • Describe the advantages and disadvantages of different available repair materials • Describe recommended construction procedures • List important quality control activities • Describe potential unexpected adjustments or construction quality problems • Identify troubleshooting solutions
Presentation Outline • Introduction • Design considerations • Construction • Quality control • Troubleshooting
Introduction • Definition Removal and replacement of small, shallow areas of deteriorated PCC at spalled or distressed joints. • Distress limited to upper 1/3 of slab • Existing load transfer devices are functional
Benefits • Restores structural integrity • Improves ride quality • Extends the service life • Restores a well-defined uniform joint sealant reservoir
Good Candidate Projects • Spalling associated with joint inserts • Spalling caused by intrusion of incompressibles • Spalling associated with localized areas of scaling, weak concrete, clay balls, or high steel
Poor Candidate Projects • Joint spalling associated with dowel bar misalignment or lockup • Spalled cracks • Spalling associated with durability problems or reactive aggregate
Presentation Outline • Introduction • Design considerations • Construction • Quality control • Troubleshooting
Module 7-1 Design, Materials & Specifications From… Maintenance Technical Advisory Guide (MTAG)
Design Considerations • Selecting repair boundaries • Material selection • Curing • Opening to traffic
DULL SHARP Unsound-Delaminated Solid Selecting Repair BoundariesDetecting Deteriorated Concrete Sounding the pavement: • Hammer • Steel rod • Steel chain
Selecting Repair Boundaries Repair Dimension Recommendations • Minimum dimensions • Length: 300 mm (12 in) • Width: 100 mm (4 in) • Depth: 50 mm (2 in) • Extend repair 75 to 100 mm (3 to 4 in) beyond visible deterioration • Combine close patches (<0.6 m [2 ft]) • Repair entire joint if > 2 patches
Cementitious PCC-based Gypsum-based Magnesium phosphate High alumina Material SelectionRepair Material Types • Polymeric • Epoxy • Methyl methacrylate • Polyester-styrene • Polyurethane • Bituminous
Material SelectionBonding Agents • Enhances repair to pavement bond • Sand-cement grouts used with PCC repair materials • Epoxy bonding agents used with both PCC and proprietary materials
Material Selection Factors • Allowable lane closure time • Ambient temperature • Cost • Size of repair • Estimated performance
Curing • Cure to avoid shrinkage cracks • Hot-weather curing—curing compound, moist burlap, or polyethylene • Cold-weather curing—insulating blanket or tarp • Follow recommendations for proprietary materials
Opening to Traffic • Opening criteria • Minimum strength (20.7 MPa [3,000 psi]) • Minimum time • Opening based on actual PCC strength is preferred

Module 7-2 Construction and Inspection From… Maintenance Technical Advisory Guide (MTAG)
Presentation Outline • Introduction • Material selection • Construction • Quality control • Troubleshooting
Construction Steps • Marking repair boundaries • Concrete removal • Repair area cleaning • Joint preparation • Bonding agent application • Patch material placement • Curing • Joint sealing
Concrete Removal • Saw-and-patch (recommended) • Chip-and-patch • Mill-and-patch • Hydrodemolition
Joint Joint Preparation 75 mm (3 in) Bond breaker 75 mm (3 in) Patch Plan View Scoring Pavement 25 mm (1 in) Profile View
Bonding Agent Application • Patch area must be clean • Application techniques • Coat horizontal and vertical surfaces • Apply uniformly
Patch Material PlacementGeneral Guidelines • Batch small quantities • Temperature recommendations • Some epoxy materials placed in lifts • Overfill patch area by ~3 mm (1/8 in) • Consolidate material • Screed and hand trowel
