Description
Concrete overlays in waste transfer stations often deteriorate prematurely, and while recent guidelines help with new construction or large-scale resurfacing, they don’t address the growing need for efficient, cost-effective repairs.
This EREF-supported study fills that gap by evaluating repair materials and strategies that can extend overlay life without requiring full resurfacing—saving both money and operational downtime.
Key Objectives:
-
Compare the performance of commercially available overlay repair materials.
-
Explore ways to improve concrete resistance to organic acid attack.
-
Develop a preliminary design for a precast, prestressed overlay system that enables fast, durable repairs.
The results offer practical guidance to facility operators and engineers seeking more resilient, lower-cost repair solutions for aging infrastructure.
