Concete repair strengths
Concete repair strengths
(OP)
I have a few questions relating to concrete .
A friend suggested I try this site so I'm hoping I can get some help in this.Based on a typical elevated structural concrete slab in a office tower 9" thick , I have the following questions.
1 - what is the strength ( average) ?
2 - what is required fire rating ?
Now the next ? Are based on repairing a core hole 5" diameter.
If the hole is plated from below , rebar dowels installed and filled intirely with non shrink grout .
What will the patch strength be?
What will fire rating be on patch?
The final ? Is based on a bad repair.
5" hole filled with pink insulation with 1" of non shrink grout applied to top.
No rebar.
I'm looking for strength and fire rating comparison
Of three scenarios of a elevated floor.
1 being original slab
2 being a hole repair done properly
3 being a contractor doing a bad repair
Help is greatly appreciated

Idea of slab strengths of the 3 conditions

It's not geographically important.
Could even be based on lab conditions.
I'm looking for a rough variable between
The three scenarios.
RE: Concete repair strengths
You asked about "strength". That is way too general of a term. There are multiple meanings of the word strength and we can't
respond to that sort of question as it is too vague. Strength of the material? Strength of the bond at the hole? Strength of the plug to withstand
an applied point load? Strength change in the slab's flexural capacity due to the hole? etc. etc.

I think I'll hire a local engineer to give me test results
