Beams

Beams, specifically Concrete Beams, are an integral part of the building structure. Repairing beams from deteriorating and are no longer able to support the structure is an essential component to structural integrity of a building.

Concrete Beams

Concrete beams: the backbone of every building structure.

Repairing beams from deteriorating and are no longer able to support the structure is an essential component to structural integrity of a building. Chipping the spalled, damaged, loose concrete, treating the reinforcing, and putting back with new structural materials, per the manufacturer’s recommended methods is what Complete Structural does! This is done to increase the life-span of your building all while keeping its residents safe for years to come.

What is Concrete Restoration?

These are the different methods Complete Structural uses to perform repairs, all depending on the Engineer’s recommendations and our best method per our experience and expertise.

Epoxy Injection

Purpose: Used for repairing cracks in concrete beams that don’t compromise the structural integrity.

Process: A low-viscosity epoxy is injected into the cracks under pressure to bond the concrete back together and restore its strength. This method works well for hairline cracks.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Wrapping

Purpose: Used to strengthen beams and provide additional load-carrying capacity.

Process: A fiber-reinforced polymer material (like carbon or glass fibers) is wrapped around the beam after cleaning and prepping the surface. This method is lightweight and effective for seismic retrofitting.

Spalling Repair with Patching

Purpose: Fixes areas where concrete has flaked or spalled off due to corrosion or impact damage.

Process: The damaged concrete is chipped away, the exposed reinforcement is cleaned and treated for corrosion, and new structural-grade repair material is applied.

Reinforcement Replacement

Purpose: When reinforcing steel within the beam is severely corroded or damaged.

Process: The deteriorated concrete is removed, and corroded reinforcements are replaced or supplemented with new ones. The beam is then re-concreted.

Pre-Stressed or Post-Tensioned Repairs

Purpose: Repairs beams that have lost tension due to damage in pre-stressed or post-tensioned systems.

Process: Specialized techniques are used to reintroduce tension in the steel tendons and stabilize the structure.

Each method involves detailed assessments to determine the best approach for the damage, ensuring the beam can safely carry its load and meet building standards.
