Concrete that it is stressed under loads must be supported properly before the defective portions are cut away. The load on the beams must be removed, and/or the beam relieved of its structural load by shoring to avoid deflection. In the repair of piles that are small in cross section, if the removal of defective concrete could be detrimental to the stability of the structures, an attempt should be made to relive part of its load. |
