Strengthening with Concrete Enlargement
Concrete Enlargement
Create composite behavior via:1. Horizontal shear transfer
a. Installation of steel dowels
b. Profiling of concrete surface (CSP-7)
2. Prepare surface to open pores
3. Placement techniques to force intimatecontact between exiting and new concrete
