Physical and Chemical Damage

A1.4.1.1 Existing concrete structures that have

been subjected to mechanical damage (caused by
impact or abrasion), chemical attack, or rebar corrosion are restored to provide a uniform, sound
substrate prior to coating application.
A1.4.1.2 In order to best receive and hold the
patching material all deteriorated concrete should
be removed and the surrounding sound concrete
cut using the procedures described in ICRI
03730.6 Some contaminants have a detrimental
effect on the rebar or the applied coating if they
are not completely removed.
A1.4.1.3 A number of polymeric grouts and patching materials can be used, especially when the
coating is to be applied immediately. These materials should be compatible with the coating to b
