| dc.abstract.en | This study addresses a practical and efficient approach to evaluating the load-bearing capacity of severely degraded concrete manholes. Concrete deterioration, often advanced and highly irregular, can be captured accurately through surface scanning to create a detailed model of the damaged structure and also to build a simplified modeling to enable rapid engineering-level assessment, filling a critical gap in infrastructure maintenance. The repair strategy involves applying an internal polyurea layer, a variable-thickness polyurethane foam layer depending on the degree of localized degradation, and an external polyurea layer to restore the original shape of the manhole. However, these repairs do not fully restore the manhole’s original load-bearing capacity. A full 3D model, encompassing millions of finite elements, would provide a detailed analysis of strength reductions but is impractical for engineering applications due to computational demands. An alternative approach utilizing sectional homogenization is proposed, where sectional properties are sequentially averaged to calculate effective parameters. This approach enables the use of only a few hundred shell elements, each representing thousands of elements from the detailed 3D model, thus providing a rapid, engineering-level assessment of load-bearing reductions in degraded manholes. The study finds that while the repair method restores up to 76% of bending stiffness in heavily corroded sections, it does not fully recover the original load-bearing capacity. | |
