Purpose: to develop design and technological solutions for the creation and restoration of destroyed seepage control concrete linings of irrigation canals using modern construction materials.
Materials and methods: to create and restore the irrigation canal coatings, the projects of improved structural, process and technical solutions were used with modern materials based on geocomposites and polymers, which made it possible to restore the protective coating of canals and other water-conducting hydraulic structures most effectively and quickly. To define the specific seepage discharge through damage, a calculation method of water permeability of an impervious concrete coating was used, taking into account damage colmatation.
Results. Process and technical solutions developed at the level of applications and patents for inventions are characterized by increased efficiency and reliability, which consist in eliminating filtration losses and deformations, while increasing the repaired area durability due to the increased physical and mechanical features of the composition material designs. The proposed calculation methodology for water permeability of an impervious concrete coating, taking into account the damage colmatation, made it possible to determine the specific seepage discharge through damage equal to 0.112 sq. m per day. On the basis of the performed calculation, it is possible to make a decision on the feasibility of reconstructing certain damage to the canal concrete lining, both during their clogging.
Conclusions: the use of the developed design and technological solutions for irrigation canal lining damage repairing will increase the seepage control lining imperviousity, increase reliability and prevent the formation of underfloor spaces under protective concrete and reinforced concrete elements.
