This paper provides a review of the progress in America, Europe, Japan and china withnumerous standardizations and investigations for the protection and repair of hydraulic concrete structures.These researches include detection technologies, evaluation methods, applications of newconcrete reinforcing and repair materials. This paper identifies the significant progress made by theInternational Commission on Large Dams(ICOLD).At the same time, some specific investigations are carried out on the ageing of hydraulic concrete structures in china. On this basis, the detection, assessment and remediation analysis of hydraulic concrete structures are summed up, and someadvice is put forward to the next stage of work.

In recent years, geopolymers have gained a wide attention as highly ecological-friendly building materials, having a capability to cut down 70% of CO2 emissions in comparison to the ordinary cement concrete. In this study, geopolymer mortars are proposed as repair materials for reinforced concrete structures, due to their superior acid resistance, heat resistance and high strength in comparison to the existing repair materials. The objective of this study is to investigate the adhesion properties of geopolymer mortars to concrete substrates with different surface treatments, steel plates and rebars. As a result, the geopolymer mortars are found to have excellent adhesion properties to dry concrete substrates, steel plates and rebars. Concrete substrates treated with grinder, further enhanced the adhesion properties of geopolymer mortars. On the other hand, poor adhesion of geopolymer mortars to wet concrete substrates was observed due to the presence of water on the interfacial zone, which decreased the alkali concentration of the geopolymer, resulting in lower adhesion strength. In general, geopolymer mortars are found to have suitable adhesion properties to the concrete substrates, steel plates and rebars and can be applied as repair materials for reinforced concrete structures.

Repair materials for concrete structures are often required to exhibit high bond strength at a concrete substrate, and it typically consists of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) incorporating expensive admixtures at a low water-to-binder ratio. Meanwhile, cementless mortar employs alkali-activation of cementless and pozzolanic precursors such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) and fly ash (FA). The final product develops strength relatively faster than OPC, and its strength can be flexibly talyored by controlling the type and dosage of the activator. The present study investigates the strength development characteristic of cementles mortar for use in repair of concrete structures. Independent variables include mix proportions and curing conditions, which were chosen to optimize the performance of the cementless mortar.
