Layman's description
Long-term abrasion of concrete in hydraulic structures leading to damages and consequently the shortened service life has been frequently reported, i.e. mainly caused by water-borne silt, sand, gravel, rocks and other debris. However, neither testing methods nor mathematical models which could adequately reflect the abrasion phenomena observed in field exist. This poses a great challenge in designing a structure with a service life requirement of 100 years or more.
By performing this work, we expect that important fundamentals behind concrete abrasion in hydraulic structures will be revealed. In addition, the outcome of the project will form useful guidance in designing durable hydraulic structures concerning abrasion damage.
