Honeycomb Rectification On Vertical

Element
Found honeycomb after formwork opened
Defects should be repaired with suitable
materials and the correct method, ie ;

1. Recheck, is it necessary to strengthen

the surrounding area?
2. Surface Preparation
3. The characteristics of the
replacement concrete must be
appropriate (no shrinkage) and the
strength is still achieved
4. Hacking bad concrete must be done
until good concrete and sounds
5. Closing the formwork must be strong,
no gap, and tight enough
6. Mixing and pouring process shall
according to the supplier
recommendation

Found honeycomb on vertical elements

1. Tools And Materials Used

Tools and materials ;

1. Jack Hammer
2. Non-shrink grout material
3. Screening aggregate if depth of honeycomb
more than 100 mm
4. Scales Cylindrical tube diameter 100 mm x 200
mm for concrete samples
Quality Control Check / Hold Point ;
5. Mixer & formwork
1. Make sure do trial mix before grout
2. Innitial setting time shall be recorded
3. Check the flowability with a J-Cone
4. Make sure didn’t found a bleeding, segregation, and
concrete can be cohesive
5. Put the cylindrical sample to control the strength (28 days)
2. Surface Preparation

Continue hack the bad Continue hack the bad concrete until found good concrete,
concrete until found good and cleaning with air compressor and spray the water until
Honeycomb shall be concrete, and make sure dust and loose material gone.
completely removed rebars didn’t damagend by
jack hammer
3. Application Procedure
Short Video Pouring Application

Mixing and pouring the grouting materials

Make cylindrical
specimen to control the
strength
Make a SSD – Close the formwork
5. Sketch Procedure & Result After Formwork Opened

1. Hacking
2. Closing formwork
3. Pouring
4. Curing
5. Test Speciment At 28 Days
