ABRASIVE EFFECTS OBSERVED IN CONCRETE HYDRAULIC SURFACES OF DAMS AND APPLICATION OF REPAIR MATERIALS (2012)
This chapter presents the main abrasive effects observed in concrete hydraulic surfaces of dams of hydroelectric power plant (HPP). These types of hydraulic structures are subject to solicitations for dynamics order due to water flow at high speed usually causing to erosion, cavitation and abrasion. These effects are harmful and cause of defects on the surface hydraulic of dam. Thus, maintenance is needed on the surface of the structure, when is applied a repair material (RM). The RMs must have characteristics, especially mechanical and chemical properties, consistent with the base material or substrate.
