Crack repair

Crack repair restores structural integrity, seals the cracks against moisture and restores appearance. Epoxy injection systems are employed to fill, fine or coarse cracks in horizontal or vertical surfaces (Figure 3.3) conventional equipment can be used. The benefits of epoxy injection systems are ... 

The crack-repair process also utilises a thixotropic epoxy compound known as a surface sealant. This is spread over the face of the crack primarily to prevent liquid epoxy binder from oozing out when injected into the cracks. It is also used for bonding the injection nipples to the surface of the cracks.

The differences in the two maintenance scenarios that resulted in the range of corrosion-related costs were experience-based maintenance and information-based maintenance with crack repair. This difference represents the range of maintenance from minimal practice to best practice. The cost analysis estimated the cost of corrosion from 6300 (minimal practice) to 2300 per deck per year (best practice). These values show that a saving of 63% of the corrosion is possible by adopting the best practice although the actual bridge maintenance is between the minimal and best practice. 

Comparison of obtained curves indicates that in the case of the cement-polymer composite modified using of SBR there is only small increase of strength capacity and deformability after repair using of the epoxy and the polymer PT. This kind of repair restores strength ability of cracked concrete and also of the cracked repair thin layer made of cement-polymer composites but do not protects a concrete floor against over-ultimate deformations, overcoming the ultimate strain angle (y < 0.5 %) of concretes and cement-polymer composites (Fig. 14).

Ropes can also be used to provide additional support in buildings needing repair. An example was described by Burgoyne. Cooling towers at a power station in Yorkshire, UK, had developed vertical cracks. Repair was effected by wrapping with with Parafil ropes.

It is essential that the concrete surface be properly prepared prior to application of the coating. The surfaces of cement containing materials may contain defects that require repair before the application of the coating. In general, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned and all cracks repaired.

In this entry, special emphasis is given on the technique of reinforced concrete (RC) jacketing. RC jacketing is a widespread technique used for the strengthening of existing columns, beams, and walls. The use of epoxy resins for the crack repair of damaged stmctural elements is also presented.
