Field Engineering Comparison Concrete Repair & Rehabilitation
Condition Prior to Remediation (Jeddah)

Wide longitudinal cracks in 4 primary ground-floor columns with concrete cover spalling and advanced rebar corrosion caused by the aggressive coastal marine environment.

⚠️ Risk Factor: Deferring remediation accelerates corrosion propagation and compounds strengthening costs.
Final Structural Outcome after Remediation

100% restoration of design structural load capacity with verified protection against marine salts and humidity for years to come, completely avoiding column demolition.

✓ Certified polymer mortars and aerospace-grade carbon fiber executed to Saudi Building Code (SBC 304).

Preliminary Engineering Assessment

Engineering diagnostics revealed an 18% loss in effective rebar cross-section with laminated rust flakes, while the column core concrete remained sound.

Approved Remediation & Engineering Methodology

Ceiling shoring with hydraulic props, mechanical rebar descaling and zinc-rich epoxy anti-rust coating, supplemental stirrups and rebar placement, recasting with non-shrink polymer mortar, and CFRP carbon fiber jacket wrapping.

Step-by-Step On-Site Execution Protocol

  1. 1 Load relief and installation of certified temporary structural shoring towers.
  2. 2 Careful mechanical chipping behind corroded rebar and thorough decontamination.
  3. 3 Application of anti-rust zinc-rich primer and localized sacrificial cathodic protection.
  4. 4 Cross-sectional rebuilding using certified polymer-modified non-shrink repair mortar.
  5. 5 Application of two layers of woven carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) to restore structural capacity.
